Before all that shit happened, Gunn was really active on social media and showed a lot of behind the scenes aspects of his movies. I remember last summer he did a Facebook live chat from the set of Brightburn (unnamed at the time)

Now that time has passed, I also would like to see him return to talking about movies and showing making his movies. His incessant political commentary was what got him into trouble in the first place.

Some spoilers for GotG3 by the guy who described scenes from Endgame back in December:

Could have sworn that twitter feed had a endgame post that was wrong (the only one wrong at that) and now it doesn't even appear on the timeline anymore

Well I know he said Stan Lee's cameo was at a 70s car show, which wasn't totally true, but pretty close.

‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Director James Gunn Breaks Silence On High-Profile Disney Firing, & What He Learned From The Career Crisis That Followed — Deadline Disruptors

Part of me wants to think that Disney did reach out to directors and they passed in solidarity and support of Gunn. Sort of their own boycott over the stupid firing. Certainly the actors' support would also scare off any directors coming in.

Michael Corvin

I thought there were a couple that passed for that exact reason.

Hmm, but the article states otherwise.

Jay G.

A few people stated publicly that they wouldn't take it if offered. Taika Waititi specifically said he wouldn't do it, but didn't actually turn down an official offer, or even do a meeting to discuss it.
https://deadline.com/2019/02/guardia...ti-1202549372/
The article states that neither Horn nor Feige ever met with another director. That does leave the door open for the possibility that they put "feelers" out for certain directors to see if they were interested, but nothing "official" was stated/offered. I could see Feige maybe standing his ground and going "Gunn or not at all," like suggesting that maybe they just don't make another Guardians movie.

Michael Corvin

Thanks Jay. That's probably what I recall reading.

Wow, I have so much respect for James Gunn. The maturity and sincerity of his responses is very refreshing. You can tell he is a totally different person then he was before and it's amazing that he isn't bitter about the whole thing and took it as an opportunity to learn and grow. No publicist saying "no comment" or other denials or excuses. He takes full responsibility and shows how it effected him and how it changed him. That's very refreshing.

Did we ever find out who's decision it was to fire him and how Kevin Fiege felt about the whole thing? And I'm sure they were actively looking for another director it would have been irresponsible of them to not at least start to try to line something up. Maybe they did that to at least say they tried to look for someone else.

Jay G.

Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn fired him.

And they weren't actively looking for a replacement, according to that article:
As for Kevin Feige, he never officially took a stance besides supporting Horn's decision. There were rumors he was pushing for Gunn to be rehired, but it's unclear how hard he fought for that, if at all.

Uh... what...???

Lady Gaga is reportedly being considered for the role of Lylla, Rocket's love interest who is set to make an appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. This would mark a reunion between Gaga and Bradley Cooper, who voices Rocket, after last year's A Star is Born. pic.twitter.com/rYTWzQFsSj

Man, Bradley Cooper's boner wielding too much influence in Hollywood.

islandclaws

Oh, that boner gets plenty of mileage all around town from what I hear.

I think she would make a good character.

Only vaguely familiar with Adam Warlock but Will Poulter is great. Excited for this.

Very interesting choice.
