Suck shit, Disney.

 

[shiznit]

Looks like there’s abit of a stand off going on between Marvel Studios and Disney.

Kevin Feige is trying to convince Disney to bring James Gunn back in the mix... he probably has some clout... he’s made them over 17 Billion over the last 10 years.

As I said early... don’t be surprised if they bring him back.. Disney probably did what they did to make sure the Fox vote goes smoothly...

They got rid of him to protect their corporate image, nothing more, nothing less. They stated that explicitly when they said his actions were indefensible, inexcusable and inconsistent with their values which are based in making films for kids. Good luck backflipping on that.

And they won't bring him back because they don't need to. There's no shortage of people who will be willing to work for the biggest movie franchise there is right now. They'll replace him with a female director and suddenly all of the calls for James Gunn to be rehired will be coming from "misogynistic Marvelbros."

I’m sure there are quite a few odd origins for comic book heroes and villains out there.

Give James Gunn a quirky character like that and you may in the money!

GOTG 3 on hold

WORK on the third instalment of Guardians of the Galaxy has been put on hold a month after director James Gunn was fired.Multiple sources have told The Hollywood Reporter pre-production crew had been dismissed from the project and told to find work elsewhere.

The publication claims that Marvel and Disney are having to “regroup” on the sequel after dismissing its director Gunn in a storm of controversy.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 had been scheduled to begin pre production in a matter of weeks, with filming to commence in early 2019.

Long touted as key to Guardians of the Galaxy’s success, Gunn was abruptly fired from the third instalment in July after tweets resurfaced of him joking about child rape.

Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn announced Gunn had been dropped from the project after an alt right campaign to get him fired, with one of the most vocal supports Mike Cernovich, a key proponent of the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory.

Since his firing Gunn has apologised for the tweets, telling Variety they were “failed and unfortunate efforts to be provocative” and he has “regretted them for many years since”.

Following Gunn’s sacking the film’s stars condemned his departure and confirmed they were standing by him.

Posted to Twitter and Instagram by the film’s lead star Chris Pratt the statement slammed the “court of public opinion” for having “little due process”.

“ … we hope Americans from across the political spectrum can ease up on the character assassinations and stop weaponizing mob mentality,” the letter concluded.

Both Cavill and his agent have denied this. They are, however, still in negotiations.

Cavill is doing the Witcher series on Netflix.
