Who should direct?

But in order to do that they'd have to throw out his script and start completely from scratch. I just don't see that happening... but again, what do I know. I'm not Feige.

Well, would that be the end of the world? The movie is still a couple of years away, by the time it comes out almost everyone will have forgotten about this debacle. Heck, I'm willing to bet that most people already don't care about it now, and they're probably just pissed that the guy who gave them "I Am Groot" has been fired.

 

I'm willing to bet Gunn will still get some writing credit for Vol 3. Whoever comes out will touch up the script though and make changes

 

Do they want his name up there at all though? Disney can't do anything about the past 2 films, but for Vol 3 it could look like they're still endorsing him.

 

James Gunn.

 

Boots Riley

 

RIP James Gunn. 2012-2018

 

lol, I'm sure the pro-union, anti-cops, political radical Boots Riley would happily step into another person's job for America's biggest monopoly.

 

Yeah,It's a stretch,but it would be a crazy Movie.lol

 

You have to give credit where credit is due

 

After watching Lone Ranger again last night I think Gore Verbinski could do a job, he has worked with Disney before of course.

Watiti would be a good pick, but his humour is different than Gunn’s, and for me Gunn does the serious moments better.

As likely as it is to happen, I would love to see Gunn come back as I just don’t think here’s is another director like him.

 

Mathew Vaughn. Or Taika Waititi

 

James Gunn

 

People have short term memories in this social media driven era. If GOTG comes out in 2020 most will forget or just think "Oh yeah Gunn isn't involved now."

 

Just remembered the Mark Hamill cameo -- that's probably lost now.

 

Probably get a writing credit for A4 because he was part of the team and involved like IWs.

 

I'm at a lost myself. Waititi seems like the natural choice, but I'd rather they save him for a Thor 4 if that is in the cards. Not to mention the possibility that he may be unavailable.

Maybe Tim Miller? He did fine with Deadpool and has ties to Marvel.

 

I miss the 90s

 

James Gunn. Sign the petition for Disney to rehire him here: https://www.change.org/p/the-walt-d...-james-gunn-for-guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-3

 

There's absolutely no chance of Disney rehiring Gunn, even with thousands of names on a petition. It would look very bad for them to do that.

Maybe someone else will start a petition to fire him again. Then what? Because there are more signatures there, they fire him again?

 

Taiki.

If not him, then see if the Russo brothers, lord and Miller or maybe Matthew Vaughn.

Bigger question is who oversees Cosmic MCU?

 

Matthew Vaughn and Tim Miller are really good suggestions, bravo to the posters who suggested them.

 

I can't recall a petition ever working for situations like this. They rarely work when it comes to trying to bring shows back.

 

Anybody but Peyton Reed.

 

These things never work, it just makes fans feel important. It sucks, but Gunn is gone.

Along with this franchise.
