Some updates:

Chris Pratt told MTV News that Marvel has agreed to use James Gunn's script for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

That's the good news, but the bad news is that the fan favorite to replace Gunn as director, Taiki Waititi, is NOT going to direct the film out of respect for Gunn. In his exact words from The Wrap:

"For me, those are James [Gunn]’s films. Going into something like that with his stamp all over his films would be like going into someone’s house and saying ‘Hey, I’m your new dad, and this is how we make peanut butter sandwiches now.’ It feels kind of awkward.”

Wow. They've hired Gunn back:

I guess at the time there was a lot more uncertainty about what kinds of things were supposedly unforgivable, but vague standards and tiers of offenses seem to be coming into view, and they've decided Gunn was safe to hire. Kind of interesting.

Step in the right direction.

I do think it's important that people see there is a limit to the punishments for insensitivity. Very few people like the idea of blacklists, or issuing career death sentences, merely for bad or inconsiderate jokes.

And I think in the long-run that's better for whatever standards people are fighting for in the first place, simply because a tempered and forgiving posture towards sensitivity is a lot more likely to succeed than an unforgiving and vindictive one.

According to the report at Deadline, Gunn had met Alan Horn (head of Disney) numerous times and that Horn seem impressed with not only Gunn's public apology, but his handling of the situation. Gunn is going to do The Suicide Squad first then do Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

I guess Bautista is happy.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
 

Eh, the sequel wasn't really that good. Still, I think it's only fitting that he finishes the trilogy he started.

Yay!

This is a huge step for society. A mega-company like Disney paving way for a less sensitive society and not living like an afraid little mouse who don’t want to step on anybody or offend anybody. I hope more will follow and stop being little bitches about all things in life.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
 

I'd rather it was a sign that they weren't going to cave in to a bad-faith right-wing smear campaign that was less concerned with sensitivity in its own right than it was with deplatforming a vocally left-wing public figure.

In any case, can't wait to see how @yellowjacket1 weighs in on this.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
 

I'm hoping Rocket finds a mate who is like him (In vol. 1, he says "Ain't no one like me"). I'm hoping she's a fox, and they play with the "She's a fox" line.

I am actually pleased with this decision. His tweets were pretty terrible, but career ending no

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
 

Oh yeah, I enjoyed the music choice. By total coincidence I was going through an old hard drive's contents a few weeks ago and came upon that and enjoyed listening to it again for the first time in years.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
 

So hyped for this. I was laughing like hell at the start of the trailer where Drax threw the ball on that child’s face
