Disney and Marvel fired Gunn from the project for a time because of some old, insensitive tweets that Gunn had made years earlier.
So long, in fact, that James Gunn says his script has been “basically finished” since 2018 — yet the movie is just now getting ready to go into production.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is scheduled to open in theaters on May 5, 2023.
It’s basically been finished since three years ago.
