Forums - Movies & TV - Disney fires 'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn over 'indefensible' old tweets

Relevant.

Big shame that it will most likely fall on deaf ears at Disney because they would be more worried about any form of controversy even though the casts, his family and 350k+ people over at Change.org would like it to happen https://www.change.org/p/marvel-re-hire-james-gunn

Apparently in the last 24 hours Disney execs did have a meeting with Gunn and sat to talk to him about the future of GotG but not sure of any news coming out from that yet. Would be very interested if they go back on their very early heavy handed choice to fire him from the project.

Right now they're all between a rock and a hard place, but I think Disney do know that a lot of the people who want Gunn fired are unlikely to be the type of people who would have been buying a ticket to Guardians 3 anyway, and at the end of the day, money talks.

I was once at a vampire themed party! Better get your garlic out, since I am now clearly outed as a Vampire.

Then again Spacey threw parties with just young guys and looked at how that turned out. I wouldn't be surprised if more "themed" pics show up of Gunn.



Sorry for dragging up an old topic, but i didn't think it warranted a new thread

Again we see as long as someone is one the "correct" side of the political spectrum everything will eventually be forgiven

It shows fake outrage campaigns don't work, because while they might fool executives, they don't work on the public.

Great to see him back, now with an extra gig at DC.

Get fucked, Mike Cernovich



oh wow! was wondering why this was bumped and wondered what the update could be

it's been so long that I didn't think they would bring him back. Good decision though, he shouldn't have been fired for that in the first place. This seems like it warrants its own thread.

It's some sign of the modern day workplace, isn't it? 1 night to get fired, 9 months to get hired. Yikes.

Yeah, it's wild. 



Thank god he's back. Guess he really shouldn't have been fired in the first place because now Guardians 3 is going to take way longer to come out, but eh, as long as it's good, the wait will be worth it.

I'm just super happy really, at least I know now that the movie will come out and that it will (probably) be good.
