While it has been a pipe-dream of Marvel fans since the movie came out in August, the director of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' seems adamant that we won't be seeing the members of his team with the Avengers anytime soon.
From Groot and Rocket to the deadpan humor of Drax, the whole cast of the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' wowed crowds and made everyone instant fans of this new franchise. But the director of the sequel says not to get too attached to these characters because there is always room for them to do the wrong thing next time.
As the first movie makes its way onto DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday, plans for the sequel to 'Guardians of the Galaxy' is underway. But James Gunn says that he doesn't want this franchise to act like another big franchise, James Bond, in this way.
After the first movie, we have all come to love the team of Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, Groot, and Rocket but in a recent interview, James Gunn says that a shift in teammates could happen in future installments of the franchise.
The first movie introduced a lot of unknown characters to the Marvel universe, but one fan-favorite from the Guardians of the Galaxy comics could have to wait awhile before joining the team.
Even though he said that the next Guardians of the Galaxy movie won't tie-in with whatever is happening with The Avengers, did James Gunn just tip his hand with a recent picture he posted on Instagram?
It seems to be the thing to do these days in Hollywood: create a shared universe. But one director who is employed by one of the biggest universes out there right now seems to have some beef with the whole concept and calls them out. Is he zeroing in on Sony and Spider-Man?
Even though the Avengers could be heading into different world with their third movie, it seems like one of their other intergalactic franchises won't be looking to tie-in and set-up the movie according to comments made by its director.
It looks like Marvel may not be playing nice as recent comments made by one of their all-star directors hints that the studio isn't at all threatened by DC and their upcoming slate of superhero movies.
There really hasn't been a bigger pop culture phenomenon this year than Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' What entered as a possible floor has now become one of the studio's hottest properties, but what does the director have up his sleeve for the sequel?
During Marvel's announcements on Tuesday, they dropped the bomb that Avengers 3 would be a two-part film, titled 'Infinity War.' But with The Avengers going intergalactic with their third movie, does that mean a key player from 'Guardians of the Galaxy' will take the helm?
While still a few years away, writer/director James Gunn is fine with teasing what fans can expect from his next outing in the new Marvel franchise, 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' and where the characters will be headed in the future. But could that be far, far away?
