Now, for the first time since the whole debacle, Gunn has come out and expressed his emotions in a long chat with Deadline. Gunn mentioned that when the chairman of Walt Disney Studio, Alan Horn, invited him back to helm Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Gunn got “teary-eyed in his office.” The acclaimed director also made it clear that he doesn’t blame anyone but himself and completely understands Disney’s initial decision to fire him.
Over the years, James Gunn has made it abundantly clear just how passionate he is about this franchise. The movies tell you as much. So, when he was asked about how he’d come to grips with the firing, Gunn likened it to his former marriage. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will begin production next year. It’s currently unclear when The Suicide Squad (also set to be written and helmed by Gunn) will start rolling. It was previously reported that production of GOTG3 will only commence after Gunn has wrapped The Suicide Squad. (Source: Deadline)
