The Guardians of the Galaxy franchise has been one of the most successful and beloved series within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The dynamic cast of misfits, led by the charismatic Star-Lord, has won over audiences with their unique blend of humor, action, and heart. However, the third installment in the series almost didn’t happen due to the firing of director James Gunn.

When Gunn’s past tweets resurfaced, Disney swiftly fired him, causing an uproar among fans and the cast of the Guardians franchise. The cast immediately came out with a statement denouncing the studio’s decision and expressing their support for Gunn. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Bradley Cooper (the voice of Rocket), Vin Diesel, Sean Gunn, and Michael Rooker all signed the statement, showing their solidarity with their director.

In a recent interview with Empire magazine, Karen Gillan revealed that the entire cast had planned to quit the franchise if Gunn was not rehired. The cast’s commitment to their director and the franchise was unwavering, and they made it clear that they did not want to continue without him.

This news highlights the importance of a strong working relationship between a director and their cast. The Guardians franchise has always been known for its camaraderie and the chemistry between its actors, which is a testament to Gunn’s leadership. Without him, the franchise may have lost its heart and soul.

Thankfully, Disney eventually rehired Gunn, and the cast could breathe a sigh of relief. The third installment in the franchise, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, is set to hit theaters in May 2023, and fans are eagerly anticipating the return of their favorite band of misfits.

While the firing and subsequent rehiring of Gunn may have caused some bumps in the road, it ultimately shows the power of fandom and the importance of standing up for what you believe in. The Guardians cast knew that their director was an integral part of the franchise’s success and were willing to take a stand to ensure his return. It’s a heartwarming reminder that sometimes, even in the cutthroat world of Hollywood, loyalty and friendship can prevail.
