James Gunn has been removed from directing “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” following the resurfacing of offensive tweets published on the director’s Twitter page years ago. Alan Horn, Chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, issued a statement declaring, “The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him.”
Old tweets Gunn published started resurfacing this week featuring the filmmaker joking about topics including pedophilia, homophobia, rape, and the September 11 terrorist attacks (numerous tweets can be seen in the post embedded below). One controversial tweet read: “I like when little boys touch me in my silly place.”

That'll ruin the movie.
ETA: Also jesus after directing TWO pretty major movies how did he not have someone delete those and how is it only now coming to light?

In what universe did he think tweeting stuff like that was ever a good idea?
Posted on 7/20/18 at 2:49 pm to TN Bhoy
They got his arse. Paybacks are a bitch, and if your read his tweets, it's shocking he even had a job, producing anything.

That’s such bullshite

Literally the only director I would be happy with at this point to get the tone and feel correctly.

Did you not read that example tweet?
The PC outrage is ridiculous, but tweeting “I like it when little boys touch me in my silly place” is fricking outrageous. That’s pedophilia type stuff, not PC. You’re a public person and actions have consequences.
Hopefully they get Waititi (sp?) to sign on.

Might as well since there will be no more Thor solo movies. Ragnarok felt like a GotG spinoff anyways.

Oh stop it. One or two tweets crossed the line but the rest weren’t any more offensive than what you hear at a comedy club.

His stuff is provocative, but none of it is that bad.

Can they not find any tweets that Kathleen Kennedy sent out that offend or are controversial?
Posted on 7/20/18 at 3:04 pm to ipodking
That is a lot of disturbing pedo shite he tweeted. One tweet, maybe it’s a joke. He put a lot of pedo shite out there though. If what I saw was really from him.
