James Gunn is known for an array of films ranging from Guardians of the Galaxy to The Suicide Squad, and one thing his projects all have in common (aside from Michael Rooker) is an epic soundtrack. Recently, the director teased that the upcoming Peacemaker series for HBO Max features his favorite soundtrack he’s ever put together, but Marvel fans are hoping the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will give his past projects a run for their money. Gunn previously revealed that there’s one song he’ll never put in his movies, which is “Dancing in the Moonlight” by King Harvest. The director said putting that song in a Guardians movie would feel “hackneyed.” In another recent Twitter post, Gunn shared another song you won’t be hearing in Vol. 3.
Is it weird that I have an aversion to putting songs that originated as movie soundtrack songs in Guardians? All love to the great @olivianj (side note: at one point I lived in the house she built & lived in during that era!) https://t.co/Al1efewWcg
