Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
James Gunn ’s visual sense forGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3is reportedly being kept live at Marvel StudiosandWalt Disney Studios - is that all because of Kevin Feige ? Last month , Gunn wasfired from Disneyimmediately after a mickle of old tweets reemerged online , many of which take jokes about rape and pedophilia . Although Gunn apologized years ago for making those jokes , there are many people who had never seen the filmmaker make such input before . As a result , Disney ’s Alan Horn made the prompt determination to let go of the manager fromGuardians 3 .
Since then , an on-line campaign has been launch by fans to get Gunn reinstated asGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3 ’s music director , with the entire corecast of theGuardiansfranchise in Gunn ’s corner . But of them all , Dave Bautista is the only somebody who has gone on record saying he would quit if Disney did n’t at least use Gunn ’s script . Considering that not only is theGuardians 3script complete but is also meant to set up the hereafter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe , it does n’t make sense to toss it out . In fact , Disney is reportedly using Gunn ’s scriptfor the celluloid , even though they are searching for a new director . And it seems like that ’s because of Feige .

In a raw video onMCU Cosmic , Jeremy Conrad suggests that Kevin Feige is the person championing James Gunn ’s handwriting behind the scenes . While that ’s for certain potential , it ’s far from a support fact and should be treated as a rumor . Conrad and his sources have been correct on occasion , but not enough to inspire sureness . Plus , the way the hearsay is set up , it sounds as if it could be an informed guess base solely on Disney ’s construction and what is already know . After all , Kevin Feigeisthe head honcho at Marvel Studios , which has been operate as a subordinate of Walt Disney Studios for the preceding three years . Therefore , Alan Horn is his boss and , logically , the someone to win over to keep Gunn ’s handwriting in play . UPDATE : Deadlinereports that Marvel Studios is trying to seek a compromise with Disney that would bring James Gunn back , but it ’s unreadable if they need him back as a writer or a director , or both .
What ’s interesting about this whole position is that the only executive at Disney who has made a statement on the issue is Horn . Neither Disney CEO Bob Iger nor Feige has made any form of public comment on this - and it has been several week since the story broke . With the future of the MCU hanging in the balance ( from a fib stand , not a directorial ) , there ’s a lot to be discussed and figure out . Guardians 3presumably wo n’t make itsplanned 2019 product first date , which was already being prepped , so it would make signified that Feige would be outraged on some stage . But it ’s hard to determine precisely what ’s happen behind the aspect and whether or not he ’s truly " push " to keep Gunn ’s visual sensation alive .
In some way , sure . Feige must be essay to saveGuardianssomehow . The Marvel Cinematic Universe is his brainchild , so if there ’s anyone at the Mouse House that ’s still in Gunn ’s turning point , it would be him . He hired Gunn in the first place and gave the author - director the exemption to make something new , something that eventually led to projection likeThor : Ragnarokbeing greenlit . So it ’s no wonderGuardians 3was being develop as thejumping off point for a Modern MCU saga . While it ’s reportedly unconvincing that Gunn will get along back to directGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3 , there ’s still a manner for his floor to survive on ( and for the MCU to thrive from it ) . If his script does end up being used , it ’ll probably be because of Feige . Again , it ’s his studio .
