Guardians of the Galaxy 3 gets Writer-Director James Gunn back on board

In a bit of surprising Marvel movie news, James Gunn has been rehired to write and director Guardians of the Galaxy 3 for Disney almost nine months after he was fired for past attempts at humor on Twitter. This comes after fans of the series, the main cast of the GotG films and many in the industry lobbied for his return after what was widely considered an unjust termination.

Deadline Hollywood reported on the news and stated that it has been in the works for months and he will start working on the project after he finishes work on the upcoming Suicide Squad 2 film. Fans can look forward to his unique take on the characters as well as another (hopefully) great soundtrack.

I have been a comic book fan since the early eighties and have read thousands of comics during that time. Some of the first comic books I remember buying with my own money at the local supermarket are Secret Wars #1, the Nam #1 and Batman #426 featuring the Death of Jason Todd. Yes, I did call the 900 number once. I voted for him to die because I did not think DC would actually do it. My bad. In the late eighties I wrote, drew and published a number of mini-comics and fanzines including Hero 358, Death Dealer and Thunder Review. E-Mail me at matthew.szewczyk@firstcomicsnews.com
