James Gunn Reveals What He Wants to Change About the First GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Film
Many fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe would agree that the first Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the best Marvel movies of all. But if you were to ask director James Gunn that same question he might be a little more critical. Recently, Gunn revealed during a Q&A on his Facebook page what he would have changed about the first GOTG.
One fan asked him: "...do you have a least favorite scene or one you wish you would've done a bit different after watching both guardians movies?"
Gunn replied with:
“There is some messy villain plot stuff in the first movie I'd like to deal with again. There was a committee working for Marvel at the time (now defunct) who had a lot of input, and that was primarily where it ended up. It just got a little messy.”
The "committee" Gunn is referring to was dissolved on the Marvel Studios side after Kevin Feige gained control of the movie productions from Isaac Perlmutter. The committee included Marvel Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada, Marvel Comics publisher Dan Buckley, and writer Brian Michael Bendis.
One rumor even blames the same committee as part of the reason Edgar Wright walked away from the Ant-Man movie right before production began.
