Chris Pratt Confirms That GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 Will Use James Gunn's Original Script
After James Gunn was fired as GOTG Vol. 3's director, fans wondered if the Marvel Studios threequel would still use his original script, and star Chris Pratt has now seemingly confirmed that it will...
We had heard that Marvel still planned to use James Gunn's original screenplay for the third Guardians of the Galaxy movie ever after the director's firing last year, and Chris Pratt now appears to have confirmed it.
MTV asked the Star-Lord actor if Gunn's already-completed script was still in play and he said that it was, before adding that everyone thinks it's "off the chain." Pratt also shared his thoughts on moving on to a third GOTG movie without Gunn in the director's chair.
“Well, I love James. I’m loyal to James and I love him so much. And we’re going to deliver the movie and we’re going to give fans the movie they deserve. And I think it’s in the nature of the Guardians of the Galaxy to come together and get the job done. And that’s what we’ll do.”
We still haven't had word on any filmmakers that might be on the studio's radar to replace Gunn in the GOTG Vol. 3 director's chair, but hopefully we'll at least get a shortlist soon. We do know that Taika Waititi won't be taking the helm, and has no interest in the gig whatsoever.
Tell us, are you happy that Marvel is still working off Gunn's script, or do you think they should have went in another direction completely? Sound off in the usual place.
