James Gunn Reveals What ‘Scooby-Doo 3’ Was Going To Be About

James Gunn recently revealed what the third live-action Scooby-Doo movie was going to be about before it was scrapped.

Before James Gunn became a household name for helming the Guardians of the Galaxy films, he was a writer on the two live-action Scooby-Doo movies that came out in the early 2000s. Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed ended up making $90 million less than the first film and plans for a third film were eventually scrapped. However, two Scooby-Doo live-action prequels would go onto air on Cartoon Network.

Warner Bros. is now releasing an animated Scooby-Doo film, which also follows a younger Mystery Inc. Scoob! was supposed to hit theaters this summer, but the coronavirus pandemic has now delayed the film to a release date that has not yet been determined. On Twitter, James Gunn recently revealed what the story for Scooby-Doo 3 was going to be about:
