Sean Gunn Reveals That Marvel Studios Plans On Using James Gunn's 'Guardians 3' Script

Sean Gunn is in a super awkward position right now. The actor has been instrumental in bringing two characters to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with his on-set, pre-CGI portrayal of Rocket and his role as the Ravager named Kraglin, in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise. But he’s also the brother of ousted director James Gunn. But that’s apparently not going to hinder Sean Gunn’s relationship with Disney. In fact, he is going to be a major part of ‘Avengers 4’ and imagines he’ll eventually get to make ‘Guardians 3,’ at some point.

In a new interview with Tulsa World, Gunn talks about his upcoming Marvel projects, and sheds some light on what’s going on with the now-delayed ‘Guardians 3.’

“I know all of them. I know all the secrets,” says the actor about the future of the MCU.

He continues, “I can tell you this. I can tell you that the movie is going to be really excellent. We shot them originally pretty much back-to-back with a short break … and I like (‘Avengers 4’) even more than ‘Infinity War,’ at least from the script and from shooting it, and I was really happy with ‘Infinity War.’ So I’m very hopeful that it’s going to be a great movie.”

“I think I can say this: I don’t think Kraglin’s story is finished yet. I think the fans will, at least, get to know what happens with Kraglin, even though I can’t share that right now,” Gunn reveals.

Where and when fans will learn Kraglin’s fate is left up in the air, as ‘Guardians 3’ seems to be stalled for now, in wake of James Gunn’s departure. The other Gunn knows that fans are worried about the status of the franchise, particularly if Disney doesn’t use the already-finished script from the director.

Sean Gunn attempts to explain, “I don’t really know yet what’s going on with ‘Guardians 3.’ I know that Disney still wants to make the movie. I know that they have every intention of using the script that my brother wrote. Obviously, that was a very unfortunate situation for everybody, most of all him, but I am also somebody who had been preparing to spend half a year making that movie and now that’s up in the air.”

“I had not been contacted at all for a while, but I was recently contacted by Marvel saying, ‘Yeah, we do plan to make this movie. We’re just not sure when yet,’” he continues.

We’ve been hearing differing reports about the status of ‘Guardians 3,’ with some cast members like Dave Bautista wondering if it’ll ever get made. So, it’s refreshing to hear that Disney would continue the film series, especially with Gunn’s script. However, that could change at any moment, as Marvel Studios hasn’t revealed who the director is for the film, if one has even been chosen.

But either way, we should be thankful that Sean Gunn is sticking around with the MCU for the foreseeable future.
