Who’s directing it?
If the name James Gunn is familiar to you, that’s because you knew him from Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) 2014 superhero flick Guardian of the Galaxy and its equally as successful 2017 sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Although he was initially dropped from directing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 due to a series of tweets of sensitive nature Gunn had posted in the past—for which he was deeply apologetic—he was rehired after a very public internet uproar, with fan petitions calling for Gunn’s reinstatement and the Guardians cast jointly expressing support for the director.
