A new rumor has surfaced suggesting that Travis Knight will be directing Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy 3, which is currently on hold due to Jame Gunn getting fired.
Travis Knight is relatively new and directed Kubo and the Two Strings, has the Transformers Bumblebee movie coming out this December, and he is also known for being the lead animator on The Boxtrolls and ParaNorman.
It’s further said Travis Knight was a possibility to direct the Eternals movie, which eventually went to Chloe Zhao, and a previous rumor suggested Marvel was eyeing a female director for Guardians of the Galaxy 3, so as for now consider this just a rumor.
