Everyone’s favorite director, James Gunn, thinks he owns the term “Guardians,” so much so that he wants to “sue” the government for using the name to describe its Space Force.
Gunn, known for his goofy version of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies that were adapted from the stellar Marvel Comics that are now canceled because of his goofy flicks, responded to Vice President Mike Pence announcing that the Space Force will be called the Guardians by calling him a dork (yes, James Gunn of all people) and asked if Marvel can sue the government:
Can we sue this dork? https://t.co/9skZ8aG446

Marvel’s Mantis actor, whose own character was butchered by Gunn in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Pom Klementieff, also responded as follows:
Maybe for like a year or something please. Thx.

James Gunn directs the ‘Guardians’ for Marvel
Back in the Summer of 2018, James Gunn found himself in the hot seat when right-wing bloggers made it known that James Gunn had written about rape and pedophilia, which saw Gunn fired from Disney, but he has since been brought back to Disney Marvel.
Marvel recently announced Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is due out in 2023, with plans in place for a Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and an I Am Groot series for Disney Plus.
The Marvel Comics also recently made Chris Pratt’s character, Star-Lord, bisexual or gay. It’s unknown if James Gunn will be changing the character in the MCU to follow:
