James Gunn Finishes First Draft of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2
James Gunn announced last night that he has completed his first draft of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and he posted an image of the script's title page on Facebook, which you can see below. It came along with this caption:
"Phew. After 48 days straight without a day off, the the first draft of #GotG2 is done. I'm sorry to all my friends and family who I have ignored."
On Twitter the director posted the same image but included the hashtags #NoSpoilers #NotEventheTitle, so he leaves fans in suspense as he reveals that Guardians of the Galaxy 2 won't be the final title of the film.
We have no idea what the story for this highly anticipated sequel will entail, but I trust that Gunn is going to give fans another amazing movie. I would love to read that script! He previously talked about the film:
It’s not really based on anything. The story for Guardians 2 is an original story that I came up with that I started working on actually while I was shooting Guardians 1, and it’ll answer some of the questions that were put forth in the first movie about Peter Quill’s father and who he is and what’s going on with that. We’ll get to know some of the characters a little bit more and then we’re going to meet a couple of new characters who will be very important to Guardians movies and probably important to the Marvel Universe as a whole.
It’s different than what’s in the comic books. Peter Quill’s father is somebody different in the comics. So then when the movie came out, we got green-lit on the sequel right away. I went in and I sat down with those guys and I’m like, ‘Okay, here’s what I think the sequel should be.’ And they were like, ‘Oh, whoa. That’s risky, but okay.’ Now I’m going to turn over the story in a few short weeks and we’ll find out how well it works.
Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel will all come back to reprise their roles in the movie that is set to hit theaters on May 5th, 2017.
Phew. After 48 days straight without a day off, the the first draft of #GotG2 is done. I'm sorry to all my friends and family who I have ignored.
