Told ya it’s unlikely. Disney’s ego is on the line, no way they gonna backtrack.

It's also thought that the cast will ultimately return to the series regardless of how they feel about Disney's decision because they're under contract and would face legal action for refusing to reprise their roles. Bear in mind that none of them have threatend to quit thus far! It's said that Gunn's firing was approved by Disney Studios Boss Alan Horn before CEO Bob Iger made the final decision. "I don’t see Disney re-hiring him," says one person close to the matter. "Those tweets were so horrible and Disney has a different standard then other studios." It's also said that the studio was unaware of the Tweets before they resurfaced.

As for a replacement, it doesn't sound like Disney is in any rush and they're willing to wait for the right A-List director. However, Jon Favreau (Iron Man), Talks Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok), and the Russo Brothers (Avengers: Infinity War) have all been rumoured to take over Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3; the only problem with that is that they're all busy and so Disney could look further afield.

Goodbye for good, Gunn.
