Prior to the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn opens up about how important the franchise's cast was after he was fired by Disney.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn opens up about the support he received from the Guardians cast after he was fired by Disney. Gunn is finally concluding his Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy at Marvel following a delay of the final movie. That happened due to Gunn being fired by Disney over some controversial tweets from his past that had resurfaced.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Speaking with Empire Magazine, Gunn got candid about his Guardians of the Galaxy family and their support through his firing. According to the director, Gamora actress Zoë Saldana went to Gunn's home the night after the news broke with her husband to prepare the distraught director a meal. Gunn also mentions Nebula and Mantis actresses' Karen Gillan and Pom Klementieff coming to comfort him during the challenging time.
“It was hard. But the things I think of from that time are the love that I got from my family and friends. I think of how Zoë Saldaña and her husband came over to fix me a meal the night after it happened. How Karen Gillan and Pom Klementieff came over to just hang out with me, to be my friend.” How Marvel Studios Firing James Gunn Altered The Course Of The MCU At the time of his firing, there was talk about Gunn becoming the shepherd of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's cosmic side. The director himself revealed in 2017 to IGN that he talked with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige about the greater cosmic side of the MCU and what that would look like after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
While the movie was not a hit financially, due in great part to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Suicide Squad's overwhelmingly positive reception managed to show how Gunn could thrive at DC just as much as he did at Marvel. With Warner Bros. Discovery's president and CEO David Zaslav changing how things worked behind the scenes at DC's parent company, Gunn was appointed as the co-CEO of the newly-founded DC Studios.
