Last week Friday saw the shocking news that Disney fired director James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Marvel Studios over tweets that resurfaced ten years ago joking about rape and pedophilia.
While Gunn has apoligized many times about the material (and Disney had to know about it when they first hired him back in 2012), Disney decided to part ways as Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn released the following statement about Gunn getting fired: “The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him.”
Since the news surfaced, celebrities and fans have been taking to social networks to voice their thoughts, with the latest being another bible passage from Chris Pratt, and Dave Bautista has been taking to Twitter once again.
You can also read what James Gunn’s brother, Sean Gunn, has to say; Thanos creator Jim Starlin; our movie reviewer’s opinion on the matter, and even what Senator Ted Cruz and Roseanne Bar think.
Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige have yet to officially comment or announce a replacement director for James Gunn on Guardians of the Galaxy 3 as it is supposed to start filming early next year for its 2020 release date.

What will you do when the #cybernazis attack you? Who will stand by you? Who will cowardly distance themselves from you? Who will punish you for horrible JOKES in the past instead of defending you for INSPIRING millions? MILLIONS!!! #Redemption #injustice @JamesGunn

What happened here is so much bigger then G3, @JamesGunn ,myself,@Disney etc. This was a #cybernazi attack that succeeded. Unless we start to unite together against this crap, whether people are offended are not! …it’s going to get much worse. And it can happen to anyone https://t.co/AMZEd0tfqb
