The Guardians of the Galaxy Cast Share Open Letter to get James Gunn Reinstated
Chris Pratt has shared an open letter, penned by him and his fellow Guardians of the Galaxy cast members on Instagram, begging Disney to rethink their decision to fire director James Gunn.
The filmmaker recently came under fire after old controversial tweets by him were found by conservative personalities who then spread the jokes about pedophilia and rape across the internet.

Disney decided to fire James Gunn following these tweets but have since faced heavy criticism from fans and other actors worldwide.
“Although I don’t support James Gunn’s inappropriate jokes from years ago, he is a good man. I’d personally love to see him reinstated as director of Volume 3. If you please, read the following statement- signed by our entire cast.” Pratt’s caption read underneath the letter.The cast referenced a Change.org petition which asks for Gunn to be reinstated and so far it has reached nearly 340,000 signatures.
Although, there was no official release date for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the film had been getting ready to start shooting in Atlanta later this year. Gunn had been working on a script for the third film in GOTG franchise and he has previously mentioned that it would be released in 2020. Both previous films have been huge hits but Vol. 3‘s future looks very unsteady right now.
