“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 opened 6 years ago today. Wow,” wrote the director and posted four pictures of himself posing with different cast members such as Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, and Sean Gunn as well as with other crew members on the set. All participants seem to have a good time.

Guardians of the Galaxy was a huge success upon its release and garnered a sequel in 2017. The Guardians have also met and worked with other members of the MCU in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Now, a third movie of the franchise is in the works. Disney hired Gunn to write and direct the prequel but later fired him from the project due to the resurfacing of old offensive tweets he had made. Disney had since rehired him.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is yet to have a fixed released date but production is set to begin in February 2021.

In cinema and literature, it is not uncommon for the writer to base a character on themselves. Whether it’s a protagonist having the adventure they secretly always wanted or a wizarding bookworm who saves the day, a writer’s characters often live out their fantasies.

For James Gunn, however, the character he chose to base on himself is a space pilot who got turned into a raccoon. But he also happens to be one of the funniest and bravest characters of the franchise.

“Rocket is me, he really is, even if that sounds narcissistic,” Gunn confessed. “Groot is like my dog. I love Groot in a completely different way. I relate to Rocket and I feel compassion for Rocket, but I also feel like his story has not been completed.

“[Rocket] has an arc that started in the first movie, continued into the second and goes through Infinity War and Endgame, and then I was set to really finish that arc in Guardians 3. That was a big loss to me – not being able to finish that story.”

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be released in 2020.

The Marvel project has been plagued with controversy since the dismissal of its director, James Gunn, in July. Following the dismissal of the filmmaker who had helmed the 2 previous films in the Guardians, several of the franchise’s cast members signed their names to a letter calling for Gunn to be reinstated.

A meeting ensued between Disney and the 51-year-old, where the studio held to its decision.

On Friday, Marvel and Disney dismissed around 20 crew members who had assembled in Los Angeles for pre-production, telling them that they are free to look for other work.

Despite the temporary halt — and no replacement for director having been named — production is expected to begin around the beginning of next year, and will still utilize Gunn’s original script.

Ever since James Gunn was fired as director of Guardians of the Galaxy, the 51-year-old has received support from various figures in Hollywood. Amongst those are the very cast members he was supposed to be directing for a third time.

Walt Disney Studios announced a week ago that it could no longer allow Gunn to continue with the franchise after tweets he made a decade ago resurfaced.

A letter has now begun to circulate on social media in which the Guardians of the Galaxy cast call for the filmmaker to be reinstated.

Zoe Saldana, Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Michael Rooker, Pom Klementieff, and the director’s brother Sean Gunn all signed their names to the statement, declaring that they were “discouraged by those so easily duped into believing the many outlandish conspiracy theories surrounding him.”

All 9 also said they were looking forward to Gunn in the future.
