James Gunn on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and His Future With Marvel (Exclusive)

ET's Ash Crossan catches up with director James Gunn to discuss all things 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' from the upcoming 'Guardians Vol. 3,' to the lighthearted 'Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special,' which streams on Nov. 24 on Disney+.

[@2013venjix]

From his part in the MCU and as Shaw in X-Men First Class, I think it's to safe to say that Kevin Bacon is now a Marvel Legend.

My guess is that Rocket will come up to the end of his short lifespan as a raccoon, and that is why hes been saving up for all these human parts like legs and eyes. He doesn't want to go, and he wants to be a human instead.

*WHY GET RID IF THE GAURDIANS IB THE **#MCU** IM GOING TO BE HONEST THE **#MCU** IS MESSING UP ON THIS ONE*

[@MrJonris30]

They arent getting rid of Guardians of the Galaxy, if you read or know anything about the comics there has been different characters playing the guardians throughout the years. This group is just handing off the torch to another group. So it's not the end of them just a transition but knowing most trolls on the internet who know little or NOTHING at all about the comics will bitch no matter what. It's sad that once people get an idea stuck in their head they can't possibly make room for anything else to take it's place even if it's better! I can give you many examples of that exact thing happening in several franchises or other things like TV shows. My opinion is just give everything new the full chance it deserves without preconceived notions or expectations and who knows? You might just like it! Personally I don't know how they can get a better team than the one they came up with in this first iteration of the GOTG. It's almost as if they have the equivalent of lightning being caught in a bottle with this group of heroes. I feel like if they had come out at any other time than they did they wouldn't have even been as well received as they were. In just a few years the tastes of MCU movie aficionados has changed so much and what they enjoy has morphed as well. Best example i can give is Thor. What worked so well for Ragnarök was just too much for Love and Thunder. Which i think was less the movie and more the people that changed. Maybe a little of both? I think that people now have way too much of a preconceived notion of how these movies should be instead of just going in with no expectations and be there to just enjoy whatever they see. It's akin to putting up a filter in your mind where your only going to let certain things in which are only those ideas you have in your mind before you walk through those cinema doors. How about just going in with a blank slate. You might have more fun that way!

[@silverdamascus2023]

Firing James Gunn was dumb, hiring him back was even dumber. James Gunn proved that cancel culture not only is a real thing, and it's not the "consequences of your actions" because it's not about what you can't say or do, it's about who can't say or do it.
