Disney Reinstates Director James Gunn For ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy 3’
Deadline ^ | March 15, 2019 | Mike Fleming Jr.

Redemption and second chances have long been superhero movie staples, and today it looks like life has imitated art. I’ve learned that Disney has reinstated James Gunn as the writer-director of Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and I’ve confirmed it with Marvel and Gunn’s camp.

The decision to rehire Gunn –he was fired last July by Disney after alt-right journalists made public a fusillade of decade old social media missives that made light of pedophilia and rape — was one that was mulled and actually made months ago, following conversations with Disney studio leadership and the team at Marvel Studios. Why the change of heart? After the firing, Walt Disney Studios president Alan Horn met with Gunn on multiple occasions to discuss the situation. Persuaded by Gunn’s public apology and his handling of the situation after, Horn decided to reverse course and reinstate Gunn.

Leftists get forgiven and apologies.

Conservatives get hate.

They’re saying he was fired over comments from years ago, but, didn’t he do something recently that got him fired?

I wonder if this means a reshoot for Endgame to keep Drax alive.

He was fired by mob for crap he said long ago deliberately taken way out of context. I am sick of people being social media mobbed, even when it happens to people I dont agree with its still nasty and wrong. While most of the victims are on our side, I will defend all the victims on any side.

Yeah that anal sex with his daughter comment was really out of context. You keep playing by your rules while the left plays with a different set. Make them play by their own till they stop.

Suddenly he’s not a pedophile?

OK.

Correct. He said it decades ago. I am glad he is reinstated.

Except for targets who themselves have lead social media mobs against the innocent, that is not even plausibly justifiable.

Tucker Carlson is handling it the right way. Instead of playing their game he is calling the game out loud and clear.

If you have evidence that he is a pedophile please go to the police with it.

I agree. It's a disturbing trend.

Alan Horn, who reinstated Gunn is a white male. But the ABC head that axed Roseanne was black. For ABC to give Roseanne back her show, would be to override the decision of a black female executive. And we can’t tolerate that now, can we??

It was strictly a matter of time: Money and Agenda are all that matter.

I am sure they signalled: Give it time, let it die down; it will be fine.

Bullshit. The garbage he said to the world was beyond the pale. You are sick if you defend it.

Correction:

“While most of the” ENDURING “victims are on our side,...”

You left out that little qualification.
