But about nine months later, Marvel reversed course and welcome Gunn back, giving him his old gig writing and directing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 again.
Marvel confirmed earlier this week that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will open in theaters on May 5, 2021.
Gunn quickly jumped ship to DC, and began work on The Suicide Squad.
Asked on Twitter whether he wants to continue making Guardians movies beyond Vol. 3, Gunn wrote “I’m planning on it being my last.”
