Well, I certainly never expected this to happen. I was sure that Disney and Gunn were finished. I'm also VERY happy to have been wrong.

If this is true they were probably intentional distractions, just in case the negotiations with Gunn didn't pan out.

Fuckin' A!!!! :banana:

It's also possible, though not likely, that Disney could do something with the Guardians in Endgame that would allow them to uh, "gracefully" stop making films with those characters if they so choose. Again, not at all likely, but within the, er, quantum realm of possibility.

To be fair Sam, that game was released on November 14, 2017, long before the issues Disney had with Gunn's 10-year-old tweets hit the media, and it was in development for a while before that.

So they fire Gunn outright over his tasteless tweets, but they still plan on using his script. Hypocrisy much, Disney? What a crock.

Kind of reminds me, in an oblique way, of that Pacino line from Scarface - "All I have in this world is my balls and my word, and I don't break them for no one."

I don't think that matters much to Mr. Bautista.

WIth this decision, Iger and Horn are doing far more damage to the Disney "brand" than continuing their association with James Gunn ever would have IMO.

What a joke. ALL of the people involved in this production deserve better. Way to go, Disney.

:rolling-smiley:

I doubt even Gunn could rescue the DCEU. ;)

We'll see.

How many directors are going to want to step into a production like this after what happened to Gunn? They could certainly use the "we need a break" or "my schedule won't allow it" excuses to quietly boycott Disney over his firing, and I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen.

They shouldn't have fired him in the first place.

Effing lawyers. I have about zero interest in this film now. We need Robocop to come in and clean Disney out.

Of course not, but the synergy between Gunn and the cast is in very large part what makes the Guardians films the successes that they are. Bringing in a different director for the final movie would shift that tone in a way that probably wouldn't sync with what came before. Plus, there's the very...

I wasn't commenting on the content of Johnson's Twitter feed, rather the mistaken impression a lot of people have that they can actually remove their data from online services. It's a futile exercise.

I don't know why Johnson even bothered to "delete" anything. It is STILL out there somewhere, and if someone decides to dig up his past on Twitter at some point in the future, they will, and there's nothing he can do about it. When will people learn?

Recasting any of the main characters simply wouldn't work, and Disney knows it. Gordon is right - there is absolutely no good outcome here if Gunn isn't rehired. Everyone loses.

I sure hope so.

One can always hope Johnny! ;)

"And yes for those of you asking, there will also be a 3D home release." This crushes my hope that we'll see a 4K/3D combo release.

It'd be nice if that (supposed) 4K release included Dolby Vision. :)

What will be interesting is to see how Covenant holds up next weekend.

We finally caught this in 3D on Sunday at our local 60 foot IMAX venue. Loved the movie for the most part! I thought it was a flailing around a bit in the middle and it probably could have used another few hours in the editing suite, but it was a pretty wild ride. Rocket finally got to display...
