Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 | May 5, 2023 | The 9th most profitable film of 2023

Disney themselves probably regret this decision, but I guess they feel they're stuck with it.

According to MCU Cosmic's Jeremy Conrad, the Marvel Studios President is "fighting on the inside" for"Gunn's vision" to remain part of the threequel and that's he's actually "livid" about the firing.

It was part of his plan to direct GOTG3 and all future MCU films.

Sounds like Feige wasn't really consulted on this and it's affecting pre-production and countless people's jobs, which is why he's pissed. I still don't understand why Disney didn't take a week to sit everyone down and then make the decision. Certainly the actors probably would've been more accommodating if it wasn't just dropped like a bombshell before anyone even knew there was a controversy going on.

Because appeasing rapists like Mike Cernovich apparently takes priority...

Possibly relevant, but I do find it interesting that virtually none of the articles about this have brought up the fact that Gunn was apparently subject to abuse as a child.

 

From the article:

 

I found an article from 2014 where two quotes were taken from James Gunn’s now deleted blog. It was out of a list he had made of “100 things I hate” which was written in 2006.

On the list he had mentioned Obmann in the two following statements:

 

10) Monsignor Russell J. Obmann, the pastor at my grade school, St. Joseph’s in Manchester, Missouri, who gave the young boys in my class alcohol and showed them porn, and probably other stuff as well. He was later caught having sex with a male student, but was only reprimanded by the Catholic Church. Now he’s dead.

11) The fact that we all told our parents that Russell J. Obmann was doing this shit, but they thought we were being silly and making up stories because he was a dick even outside of being a child molestor.

 

This is only a piece of information, but on another Buzzfeed article I found from 2017, Gunn goes a little deeper into the subject on Russell J. Obmann.

In the article, Gunn describes how his school was dominated by “pretty maniacal bullies” who made his life hell. According to Gunn, the catalyst for that behavior was the school’s monsignor, Russell J. Obmann.

He describes again that he was giving young boys in class alcohol and pornography and that he was molesting the kids in fifth grade.

He also talked about how he mentioned this to his parents, but their response having been ‘Aw, Jimmy.’ James Gunn’s noting “You know, this was back in the ’80s, before people were sensitive to that stuff. They just thought we were making up something about the monsignor at our school.

Yea i am gonna bet on him being brought back.Scrip plus directing.

[Cooper Legion]

EXCLUSIVE: My sources confirm that writing is ongoing on the next James Gunn EXCLUSIVE. Though final details have not yet been locked in, the shape of the emerging article is now clear — it will be filled with anonymous rumors, confirm nothing, and probably reverse whatever the immediately prior EXCLUSIVE said.

People truly trying to act like the Roseanne reboot wasn’t garbage.
