James Gunn’s professional journey in recent years has been nothing short of amazing. After being suddenly fired from his position at Marvel Studios because of some tweets of old, he quickly made the jump to the DC camp, where he developed a semi-reboot of the Suicide Squad and started work on the follow-up HBO Max series Peacemaker. But when he was accepted back into the Marvel fold well before those projects came out, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 had to wait for a while.
Some fans were worried about the writer-director's ability to juggle so many different projects at once across two different companies, yet every single one of them turned out great. He even put together a set of Groot-centric shorts and a Holiday Special ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to appease the Disney Plus content gods.
