James Gunn Reveals his Biggest Mistake on GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues to dominate the box office and is by all accounts already another Marvel success. But writer and director James Gunn says there is one major continuity error he made in the latest installment of Guardians.

During a recent Facebook live broadcast, Gunn explained to viewers that during Stan Lee's cameo in the film, Lee made a reference to being "a FedEx man," clearly a call-back to his cameo in Captain America: Civil War. Seems minor, but he explained that the problem is that GOTG2 takes place before Civil War, so Lee should not have even experienced that moment yet. Gunn explained:

"One thing I found very funny and interesting is the fact that people thought Stan Lee is a Watcher and that all of these cameos are part of him being a Watcher. So, Stan Lee as---probably---a guy who is working for the Watchers was something that I thought was fun for the MCU. And yes, I know I made a mistake. I'll own up to my mistake because Guardians of the Galaxy 2 theoretically happens in 2014 which is before Infinity War. And Stan Lee in the movie says, 'That time I was the Fed Ex guy,' which is what he is in Civil War. I screwed up; I wasn't thinking, But I'm going to say that probably Stan Lee used the guise of a Fed Ex guy more than one time."

What do you guys think? Does the timeline even matter? Is there a chance that because Stan Lee is hanging out with Watchers he himself may have the ability to travel through time and space at his will. I mean he is above all, the creator of most of the characters found in the current MCU.
