There
will be a Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 but chances are I won't watch it
and some of the cast will not be involved after the removal of
director/writer James Gunn after some old tweets that many found
offensive were dug up and paraded like Oliver Cromwell. Seriously.
Let me get this out the way before I get to the bittersweet news.
Everyone says or writes something fucked up. If you dig into the
past of someone you will eventually find something that you do not
like or agree with. After Gunn was removed from directing duties from
the next GOTG movie, which would have been fucking awesome, he had
this to say.
“My
words of nearly a decade ago were, at the time, totally failed and
unfortunate efforts to be provocative. I have regretted them for many
years since — not just because they were stupid, not at all funny,
wildly insensitive, and certainly not provocative like I had hoped,
but also because they don’t reflect the person I am today or have
been for some time. Regardless of how much time has passed, I
understand and accept the business decisions taken today. Even these
many years later, I take full responsibility for the way I conducted
myself then. All I can do now, beyond offering my sincere and
heartfelt regret, is to be the best human being I can be: accepting,
understanding, committed to equality, and far more thoughtful about
my public statements and my obligations to our public discourse. To
everyone inside my industry and beyond, I again offer my deepest
apologies. Love to all.”
