James Gunn Re-hired for GOTG Vol 3

[Shark_Blade]

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

Disney Unlikely To Rehire James Gunn For GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3; Familiar Names Rumored To Replace Him

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.

Either that one person close to the matter is full of it, or the Mouse as a mega Corporation is slipping.
There is absolutely no way they were not aware.

But I do think something good is going to come from all of this. If Disney is now refusing to work with people who have edgelord pasts, then that means other Studios will begin to do the same. And then maybe further down the line other companies as well.

And since the internet never forgets, that's a nice little bit of karma waiting for some keyboard warriors. a potential very rude awakening for those who believe the internet at large is there safe space.

Such is irony when this things are coming from people like you.

That's a good thing... why, exactly? Why do I need to care about what a filmmaker put on Twitter years ago?

In what, exactly? The final shape of your liberal utopia... the foundation of which looks increasingly like it is all but crumbling of late?

Kurt Russell joins the defense.

I will do what Im legally obligated to do but @Guardians without @JamesGunn is not what I signed up for. GOTG w/o @JamesGunn just isn’t GOTG. Its also pretty nauseating to work for someone who’d empower a smear campaign by fascists #cybernazis . That’s just how I feel

This guy gets loyalty. I'd want Dave Bautista in my corner!

[plastroncafe]

Yeah, damn. I give the guy full marks for calling a spade a spade.

Disney flirting with Nazis? Doesn't sound like them...

I don't run in internet circles, I just have an outsider's perspective. For the record, I don't have a beef with James Gunn and I'm not happy that he was fired, but I don't see why it matters that he was ratted out by the lunatic fringe. Gunn wrote the tweets, Disney didn't like it and sacrificed him at the alter of public opinion.

[Andrew NDB]

Great move by Bautista... but I still have a problem with blaming the people who "outed" this information that was already known about and apologized for years ago. Left, right, middle, up, down... why does it matter who was the party that make the ruckus about it? Nobody put a gun to Disney's head to fire him over this.

Why do I get the feeling Guardians of the Galaxy 3 isn't going to make it's 2020 release date? It almost feels like the movie will be shelved. The Guardians will still appear in the next Avengers film obviously, but now I don't know pass that.

A bad joke is not a crime. Even criminals must be accepted as normal people after they have been in jail and went through redemption. This is part of our civil society. Disney is wrong, they are going too far. Nothing good is going to come from all of this. People should think about it and stop giving their money to Disney.

Sure will be interesting to see what happens regarding Guardians 3 and Kevin Feige's response to the situation.

My gut tells me that Guardians 3 still gets pushed forward relatively quickly. That said, I can also imagine them forgoing it in favor of some spin-off's instead. "Rocket and Groot" or a few of them joining up in the next Thor film, directed by Taika Waititi.
That's something I'd probably prefer. The characters were great as side-players in Infinity War.

For some people wrong words on Twitter are WORSE tan any REAL crime and people who have said something dubious should be ostracized for the rest of their lives, while criminals who killed real people, should a chance for redemption.
This is very twisted logic of very twisted people.

I don't think anybody is implying that Gunn should be prosecuted. Or at least, nobody rational is.
There is a very vocal minority online who would like to have him arrested for thoughtcrime, for certain.

Disney is well within their rights to several professional ties with someone whose Behavior they would not like to have attributed to their brand.

I think they're wrong in choosing this hill to die on, but as a corporation they were allowed to choose whatever hill they want.
Thus is the burden of having free speech and freedom of association.

Bautista says if they don't at least use James Gunn's Script he is going to ask out of his contract

“Where I’m at right now is that if [Marvel] don’t use that script, then I’m going to ask them to release me from my contract, cut me out or recast me. I’d be doing James a disservice if I didn’t.”

[TurtleTitan97]

Man, I hope it doesn't come to that. Can't imagine Guardians without Bautista.

Wow, and this is right after he said "I will do what Im legally obligated to do." He keeps doubling down on his support and that's awesome.

Only a matter of time before Batista does this to Marvel:

I know, right? Bautista's a BAMF. At this point, Urban Dictionary should just use his picture as the definition of "loyalty."
