While there's probably some element of truth to that, I don't really fault him. He didn't say that Gunn has to direct - only that his script has to be used.

More than any of the other franchises, GOTG is Gunn's baby. Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America were pretty well known before the movies, but GOTG was a pretty niche comic that he brought out of obscurity and made into one of the best of the MCU. If you think about everything that made GOTG great, it all comes back to Gunn. Story? James Gunn. Music selection? James Gunn. Directing (and therefore overall tone and sense of humor)? James Gunn.

I could see GOTG3 working if they 1) keep Gunn's script (hopefully with his music selections already scripted) and 2) have Taika Waititi direct it (who has a similar sense of humor). If either of those aren't happening, they might as well just scrap it.

This. GOTG3 was going to be the final one with this cast anyway.

I also think Waititi would be the perfect replacement.

We already knew the rest of the Guardians cast wasn't thrilled about this situation, but Bautista has seemed ... well, he's certainly been the most outspoken member of the group.

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

Elias Eliot
@eliaseliot
@DaveBautista Love your support for @JamesGunn. Do you have any plans or response if Disney doesn’t reinstate him for GotG3?

Now, in a new interview with ShortList, Bautista has doubled-down on his displeasure with the studio, and says that if they aren't planning to use James Gunn's script for Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3, well ... they might need to hire themselves a new Drax.

Here's the quote:

“Nobody’s defending his tweets, but this was a smear campaign on a good man. I spoke to Chris Pratt the day after it happened and he’s a bit religious so he wanted time to pray and figure it out, but I was more like: **** this. This is bullshit. James is one of the kindest, most decent people I’ve met.

“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.”

So it sounds like Drax and Starlord are going to survive Avengers 4.

This is a lot of stuff that "sources said," so take it with a grain of salt, but apparently:
  1. Gunn may still make $10m from the film because he didn't breach his contract. (The "offense" happened long before the contract was signed.)
  2. He may be released from all Disney obligations immediately due to the situation, which means...
  3. He could possibly go to another studio pretty much immediately, and a number of them have already called about trying to get him on board. That said...
  4. There are also rumors Disney could even have him back again in the future after the dust settles.
It would be kind of hilarious if he gets $10m from Disney to go to DC and actually fix some of their damn awful movies.

I don't know jack shit about his contract or how Disney does business but on reddit someone was saying that's why Disney may backtrack (like cutting an NFL player right after signing a huge deal with guaranteed money.)

Disney might reinstate Gunn


EXCLUSIVE: Might there be a glimmer of hope for change of heart in the quick banishment of Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn from the Magic Kingdom? Nobody is talking about it, but sources said that back channel conversations are taking place between Marvel Studios and Disney. Sources said the Marvel contingent is trying to persuade Disney to explore a compromise that might bring Gunn back into the fold for Guardians 3, something that clearly would be best for the franchise. There is no clash or strong arming here. I’m told it’s a discussion that comes in the wake of the whole cast declaring their loyalty to Gunn, whose abrupt exit has put a thriving film franchise in a rocky place. One would have to label this 11th hour approach to be a long shot, but the community is talking about it.

whats laughable is that a lot of these MCU fans (and the cast of GotG ) are acting like Gunn is some "genius" director. He isn't all that imo. MCU fans acting like he's Christopher ****ing Nolan or something . Gunn is no loss. His writing for the sequel was filled with some cringeworthy lines thru out ("I have famously huge turds" or "Oh! My nipples!" )

He can only blame himself (wasn't a teenager when he tweeted all that bizarre creepy shit). Dude was in his 40s & 50s jfc.

Also, IMO Gunn is easily replaceable (as are ALL the MCU directors). All these fools do is follow Feige's "vision" and profit. There isn't that much creative freedom involved in the MCU/Disney.

Fascinating thread/conversation. Sans a rare few, rather odd discourtesies, a most civil and interesting discussion.

It's good to know that considered thought has survived.

Gunn is officially heading to DC. It'll be interesting to see if this ends up being seen as a huge mistake by Disney if he can actually make a good flick in the DC universe.

https://deadline.com/2018/10/james-g...ct-1202479455/

James Gunn Boards ‘Suicide Squad 2’ To Write And Possibly Direct

James Gunn has been hired by Warner Bros and DC to write with an eye to direct the next installment of the Suicide Squad franchise. It’s the first job he’s taken since he parted ways with Disney, which let him go from the lucrative Guardians of the Galaxy franchise in July in the wake of old controversial tweets that had been compiled by alt-right journalists and sent to Disney.
