Sean Gunn On Continuing ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Without James Gunn

During a red carpet interview with Variety the premiere for Captain Marvel, Sean Gunn commented on moving forward with the third Guardians of the Galaxy film without director James Gunn.

With James Gunn no longer directing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (a decision Disney made after offensive tweets the filmmaker posted years ago), the future of the film has been on the mind of many fans, especially after Kevin Feige noted Marvel Studios’ is currently focusing on other projects. However, Sean Gunn assured fans that the film can still work even without James Gunn at the helm:

“I don’t know exactly how that’s all gonna work, but I feel like we are going to make the third movie, I’m excited to make it, I think it’s a disservice to the fans if we didn’t make it and I know the people who worked on the ‘Guardians’ movies are really a family, and we’re gonna come together and make the best movie we can regardless of who’s in charge.”

Sean Gunn concluded by telling fans, “I just have this feeling everything’s gonna work itself out.”

James Gunn had completed his script for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and production was scheduled to begin early next year. However, the project has been put on hold following the decision to remove Gunn as the director of the final chapter in the trilogy, though Disney and Marvel Studios intend to use his script.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is expected to star Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, and Sean Gunn.

The Guardians of the Galaxy are expected to appear next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe this April in Avengers: Endgame. Here’s the synopsis to Avengers: Endgame:
