Not too great. I haven't been at home this last day so I missed this thread, but I obviously didn't miss the news.

I'm sure someone must have pointed this out, but since I missed the thread I'm just skipping it: the music will probably not be affected by this. James Gunn already had a finished script for GotG Vol. 3 and the script includes all the songs that would play in the movie, so unless Disney/Marvel decide to mess around with the script, it should be "fine". Not that I'm fine with Gunn not directing it, of course.

Wouldn't Disney want to completely re-write the script so they don't have to give Gunn credit? They might keep the songs but I feel like they're going to start the script from scratch to avoid any association with Gunn.

Very very very unlikely, the whole 3 films were all meant to lead to the 3rd one, between Quill forming the guardians as his foster family, finding his real father only to be let down by what he discovers and now the 3rd is meant to be about him and Gamora, if the 3rd film is chucked out and replaced with "villain of the week has to be stopped by the guardians" it will be very noticeable and likely reward the MCU with a fairly low rated movie which will seem very out of place.
