RUMOR: Disney Unlikely to Re-Hire James Gunn for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3
Despite a cast letter asking for James Gunn to be reinstated as the director of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," Walt Disney Studios is currently not planning on rehiring the filmmaker who it recently fired after a series of offensive tweets surfaced, according to multiple people familiar with the studio’s current thinking. The feeling within both Disney and Marvel is that the dozens of so-called jokes that Gunn made about pedophilia and rape are unacceptable in the #MeToo era and are not in line with Disney’s family-friendly image.
Were this not a source as respected as Variety, I’d assume this was click-bait.
Sigh
