James Gunn’s plans for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ are unaffected by ‘Avengers: Endgame’.
The acclaimed movie-maker is currently working on the much-anticipated Marvel film, and in an Instagram live video, James has revealed how the two projects will link.
James – who helmed both of the previous ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ movies – shared: "The script will change because my scripts always keep changing up until the moment I shoot them.
"But it won’t change according to anything from ‘Endgame’, because I already knew what was in that script before I wrote ‘Guardians 3’."
James’ involvement with the ‘Guardians’ franchise was previously thrown into doubt following the emergence of a series of offensive tweets.
Initially, Disney fired James and then rehired him, with the filmmaker subsequently taking "full responsibility" for the controversy.
He said after being rehired: "I feel bad for that and take full responsibility.
"Disney totally had the right to fire me. This wasn’t a free speech issue. I said something they didn’t like and they completely had the right to fire me. There was never any argument of that. That first day … I’m going to say it was the most intense of my entire life.
"There have been other difficult days in my life, from the time I got sober when I was younger, to the death of friends who committed suicide.
"But this was incredibly intense. It happened, and suddenly it seemed like everything was gone. I just knew, in a moment that happened incredibly quickly, I had been fired. It felt as if my career was over."
