James Gunn plans to "wrap up" the stories started in 2014’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ with the next instalment of the franchise.
The 53-year-old filmmaker is poised to helm the much-anticipated ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’, and James has teased what fans can expect from the movie in a new Instagram post.
Responding to fan questions on the photo-sharing platform, James – who directed the original ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 2’ – shared: "If everything goes to plan it will wrap up the stories I started in Guardians 1. (sic)"
There had previously been doubts as to whether the third ‘Guardians’ film would even be made, after Disney fired James following the emergence of a series of offensive tweets.
The company subsequently rehired the filmmaker, who took "full responsibility" for the controversy.
The director previously said: "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."
