During his appearance at the premiere of Avengers: Endgame, Chris Pratt, who portrays Star-Lord in Marvel Cinematic Universe, was asked to comment Disney’s decision to rehire Gunn and said that he thinks this was “the right move” and that he was “proud” of the studio.

“I was so thrilled, so excited,” Pratt responded. “I think it’s the right move, I really stand behind it. I’m really proud of Disney for hiring James back and ultimately thrilled for not only us but also for the fans. I think it’s going to wrap up the trilogy in the best way.”

Disney decided to fire James Gunn, who directed the first two Guardians of the Galaxy movies, in July 2018 after decade-old tweets with offensive jokes written by the 52-year-old director surfaced online. Gunn’s firing didn’t sit well with Guardians of the Galaxy cast, who released a joint statement supporting him and the decision was also criticized by a significant number of industry’s members and media outlets.

The studio ended up having a change of hearts and rehired Gunn as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. director in March. The movie is still to enter production and could be expected in theaters at some point in 2021.

Waititi emerged as one of the favorites for directing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 after Gun’s dismissal after doing a great job as director of Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok. The 43-year-old, however, said that he wouldn’t be taking this job during a recent appearance at Television Critics Association press tour.

“Nope. Not doing that movie,” said Waititi when asked about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3. “I’m hanging out with [Marvel] still. Talking about new stuff, but I don’t know what that might be yet. I want to do another movie.”

Speaking about reasons for this decision, Waititi said that he feels like that’s still James Gunn’s movie.

“I didn’t really. For me, that’s James’ film,” he added. “Going into something like that, which has got his stamp all over it, it would feel like going into someone’s house and saying ‘Hey, I’m your new dad.”

After James Gun was fired, Disney still hoped to have Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 on the track with the beginning of production date set for early 2019 and release being targeted for 2020. When it turned out that it wasn’t so easy to replace Gun, the studio decided to stop production and delay its start for February 2021.
