James Gunn On Steven Tyler’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Wish

Recently, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler expressed that he “would do anything” to land a role in a potential Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The musician was speaking with People Magazine promoting his new film, Happy Birthday when he called to director James Gunn by name, hoping that he would join in on the fun in the near future.

Gunn was recently at the Toronto International Film Festival promoting the newest film he wrote, The Belko Experiment. During a Facebook Q&A, the filmmaker responded to Tyler’s shoutout and from the looks of it, Gunn’s a big fan.

Yes, I did hear that Steven Tyler wants to be in Guardians of the Galaxy. He gave me a shout-out the other day in an interview. He said, ‘James Gunn are you listening?’ The answer is: Steven, yes I am listening. And I’m a big fan of Steven Tyler’s. I had the pleasure of directing his daughter Liv in a movie (Super) in which she was fantastic, and I met him for a few seconds at a screening of that movie. He’s a cool guy. And of course I would love to work with Steven Tyler sometime.

Of course, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 recently wrapped production and at the moment, there seem to be no plans for a Vol. 3. However, Gunn recently responded to a Twitter question, and if he were to direct a third entry in the Guardians franchise, he would love to have Tyler along for the ride.

If nothing else, I hope there is an Aerosmith song is featured on Peter Quill’s Awesome Mixtape #2. 

Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 opens in theaters on May 5, 2017.
