Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 James Gunn Reveals He Didn T Know Marvel Studios Didn T Own The Rights To Ego When He Wrote The Script

James Gunn is currently working on the long-awaited Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is expected to go into production soon. This will mark Gunn’s third movie with Marvel, but a lot has changed since the first Guardians hit theaters back in 2014. In 2019, Disney merged with 20th Century Studios, which meant Marvel won back the rights to many characters, most notably, the X-Men. Turns out, when Gunn was writing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, there was some miscommunication, and he used Ego (Kurt Russell) despite Marvel not having the rights.

No. Marvel didn’t have the rights to Galactus in 2014. Just another example of comic book pareidolia – in the millions & millions of comic book panels that exist & the millions & millions of shots in films there is bound to be an enormous amount of coincidental overlap. https://t.co/FuXqyzlJSq
