Marvel Boss Kevin Feige Reportedly Supports Disney's Decision to Fire James Gunn

Earlier today, it was revealed that Marvel most likely won't be rehiring James Gunn for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 — and it sounds like that decision was made across the board.

According to Variety, there was a brief push to possibly get Gunn reinstated after he was fired from Vol. 3 for a slew of controversial tweets several years ago about rape and pedophilia. This effort ultimately culminated in Gunn meeting with Disney studio chairman Alan Horn, who took the meeting "only as a courtesy to clear the air with Gunn." While Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was reportedly out of town when the meeting took place, the reporting suggests that he "stands by" Disney's decision.

For some Marvel fans, this will be a bit of a surprise, as Feige had been rumored to be pushing for Gunn to be reinstated. But according to this report, that isn't the case.

This whole development leaves Disney and Marvel in a unique situation, as Vol. 3 was expected to enter production in the beginning of 2019. Apparently, Disney will likely be using Gunn's script for the film, but whatever new director is brought on will presumably make some changes to it.

The only thing that gets me is that the only reason these guys are getting exposed is because they talked out against Trump. The alt-right wouldn’t give a fukk if James Woods (known pedo) had photos or tweets like Gunn’s out there.

just like gunn’s defenders clearly don’t give a fukk about gunn’s pedo pics.

doesn’t matter how they get exposed. the reaction and feelings towards these matters should be the same regardless of which political team they play for.

While I don't think Gunn deserved to get fired for some old jokes and him playing dress up I do find some parts of this shyt really interesting. Had the pressure to fire come from any other source and not the alt-right the discussion would be so much different. People on so many forums and Twitter are saying "We can't let those Neo-Nazis win" and so many of those people are 100% the types to call for the head of someone for making those jokes. I also think because he made GotG the Marvel stans play a big part in this. I doubt we would be talking about this at all, at least not like this, if this was some non-Marvel director. People are reaching so far to excuse him it's kinda funny. "The tweets are almost decade old". No they are 6 year old. "Disney knew who they were hiring". They care about the bottom line. "Gunn has said sorry countless of times over the years". People who are offended don't care. "We'll boycott Marvel". No you won't, and if you do it's a drop in the biggest bucket in the world. I'm willing to bet those people don't fight the good fight in their community. They take a stand with a hashtag.

i am shocked the way ppl are acting like this is such a major loss for guardians and the MCU. Did gunn not write/direct the turd that was volume 2?

Woah woah woah SIR! Blasphemy!
There are no bad Marvel movies. At worst they’re good.

You’re right.

For the record, I never defended Gunn. Pedo jokes or pedo-themed parties are/were never cool, even during the “edgy” 2000s.

[Sir Charles Barkley]

We hope americans from across the political spectrum can ease up on the character assassinations and stop weaponizing mob mentality

^ won't say shyt about any of the false #metoo allegations though. then it's okay to jump to conclusions and fire someone based wholly on the 'accounts' of one person a the vicious mob backing them.

He is definitely an idiot but you can't say he isn't loyal. Seemingly to a fault.
