Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3: Sean Gunn gives BIG update on Avengers 4 sequel

Since James Gunn’s dismissal the future of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 has been very much up in air.

While an early 2020 release was slated it’s still not clear if this will stick, while fans have been wondering if Gunn’s script will still be used.

Now his brother Sean, who plays Rocket Raccoon’s body and Kraglin in the Marvel films, has given an exciting update.

Speaking with Tulsa World, he said: “I don’t really know yet what’s going on with Guardians 3. I know that Disney still wants to make the movie.”

Sean continued: “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.

“Obviously, I think it’s a tricky proposition for them to find another director to step in — and also the scheduling of a lot of other actors who are incredibly busy can’t be easy.

“But I know that they plan on making the movie.”

Sean added: “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.’ ”

The actor also teased that Avengers 4 is even better than Infinity War.

He said: “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.”

Sean teased: “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.”

Avengers 4 is released in UK cinemas on April 26, 2019, while Guardians of the Galaxy was set for early 2020 but may now be delayed.
