Apparently Disney is happy to wait to find the right director for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 so the film may be delayed

Dave Bautista is becoming more explicit in his wording regarding his thoughts on Gunn's firing saying only his contractual obligation is keeping him in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 as otherwise he wouldn't want to do it anymore.

But followed that up later by saying that if Marvel refuse to use Gunn's script for the film he wants them to write Drax out of the film or recast the role rather than make him return to do it under someone else's writing.

The Russo's have said that following the events of Avengers: Infinity War, the MCU is free to feature Red Skull again and the writers of all three Captain America movies are keen to see the villain return.

Several studios are said to be circling James Gunn aiming to snatch him up as soon as Disney makes itself clear that the 100% won't reverse their decision. The studios are said to include Warners/DC.

It's said that as no breach of contract exists, Gunn could still walk away with $7-10m from Disney and that the Mouse House does still intend to film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 using his script.

That Movieweb site state that they may not use his script at all. However, since it supposedly sets up Phase 4, it’ll demand a ****load of re-writes if they do.

I’m firmly of the opinion now that Disney have been hypocritical, reactionary and feeble-minded in this matter. They should not have fired the guy. Just my opinion, but the time to fire was 6 years ago. Now they just look like the BITCH of some alt-right crank.

[Cassius_Smoke]

The Disney decision just flys in the face of any opportunity for personal growth. I know for a fact that I'm a different person than I was 6 years ago, I'm sure James Gunn is too.
If this is the way the world is going you could find yourself fired for something you posted on Facebook when you were still in school!

[Neon Ignition]

Given the company image it'd be more understandable too if they weren't so damned hypocritical.

Gunn - "Those tweets from years ago, yeah, people are talking about them. you're fired"

Depp - "You assault crew staff, publicly abuse drugs and are accused of spousal violence. Sign here for Pirate's 6"

[Dogg Thang]

Yeah, if there was a clear set of standards, maybe this could be understandable. Or if it hadn't already played out years ago.

Yes, this is already the case. And I think it's the way it should be. I will go online trawling before I hire and I know most companies will for this exact reason. People, everyone (not just the James Gunns of this world), need to realise that stuff they spout online can come back and kick you in the rear end. Keep a clean social media, people!

In an angry rant when you are 14 you post something insensitive on Facebook...at the age of 42 you get called into your managers office and fired for the comment, and you are saying this is how it should be?

[Dogg Thang]

I'm saying people need to realise that social media is publishing and public, it represents you (and later others by association) and it will stick unless purged pretty quickly. And if they have no ability to filter and haven't at some point realised this and their social media is a filthy slum then that's going to tell an employer something about them and potentially create problems for the company. So yeah, I'm saying this is how it should be.

This is how it's going to be, though. I'm really glad this stuff didn't exist until I was a bit older and wiser.

[prinnysquad]

I don’t really wholeheartedly agree with this - only partially.

‘Young and stupid’ used to be a way to distance yourself from past mistakes. To indicate growth. To acknowledge that you have developed into a better person. I don’t think it’s healthy to hold people to account for things that they said when they were essentially still a child. I was ridiculously opinionated when I was younger - far more so than now. You just change. As long as you’re heading in the right direction, comments made in the past should be left just there, and condemned as the ignorant youthful stupidity they were. I don’t think it’s right to pay now for something I said aged 14. It just seems unreasonable to expect everybody to be mature and rounded from year dot, without threatening to nail them for it. Although, it can depend on the nature of the statement I guess. We just have to be careful not to be too damning, whilst being responsible and wary.

Occasionally I read old threads and laugh at the things I’ve put. Other times I cringe. It’s an eye-opener.
