Was about to post that. What does this mean for the Suicide Squad sequel?

That must make Gunn the first director who direct a DC film and a Marvel film back to back. I'm surprised both studios agreed to it!

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Yay!

Lmfao so they did everything they did and realized no director wanted a part in GOTG3 (because it's Gunn's franchise) so they came back to Gunn which is what everyone told them to do in the beginning.

Damn, he gets to go back and forth between companies with similar style projects.

I dont believe Disney-Marvel cant find another director for Gotg 3 😅

Disney fired James Gunn so he could get hired by WB/DC and sabotage their GOTG like franchise in Suicide Squad.

Marvel Studios has agreed to commence production on Guardians of the Galaxy 3 after Gunn completes Suicide Squad 2. Making the whole thing easier though was the fact that Marvel Studios never met with or considered any other director for Guardians of the Galaxy 3, despite speculation that Thor: Ragnarok helmer Taika Waititi and Vice helmer Adam McKay were in the mix.

Nah. Some of the directors names that were brought up said they weren't interested because they felt it was James Gunn's project. Taika was the most recent example.

EXCLUSIVE: Redemption and second chances have long been superhero movie staples, and today it looks like life has imitated art. I’ve learned that Disney has reinstated James Gunn as the writer-director of Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and I’ve confirmed it with Marvel and Gunn’s camp.

...

Why the change of heart? After the firing, Walt Disney Studios president Alan Hornmet with Gunn on multiple occasions to discuss the situation. Persuaded by Gunn’s public apology and his handling of the situation after, Horn decided to reverse course and reinstate Gunn.

...

Marvel Studios has agreed to commence production on Guardians of the Galaxy 3 after Gunn completes Suicide Squad 2.

Nah. Some of the directors they were interested in straight up said they don't want to direct the movie because they felt it was James Gunn's project. I wouldnt be surprised if that sentiment went across the board with other directors as well. 

I think this is a big strategy from Feige

It was explicit said they had not met with any other director

Now Marvel have to share him with Warner Bros/DC. I wonder if WB and Disney had to negotiate to let it occur.

Mike Cenrobitch got fucked by Marvel and DC, hot damn!

So earliest it can be out is 2022?

 

Not as good as next May but still better than never.
