Responding to a fan question on Twitter about the chances of a Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special airing on ABC, Vol. 2 director James Gunn revealed that he and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige discuss this subject quite often.

Gunn further commented that he wouldn't commit to such a project unless it could meet the high standard set by the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, one of the very first Star Wars-spinoffs.

Gunn continued his usual Twitter engagement with fans, confirming that Drax is gray not green, despite how he might appear in certain lighting and the fact that he's green in the comics. If you were looking forward to Drax and Hulk having a moment in Avengers: Infinity War about being green-skinned, super strong bros, sorry to disappoint.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits theaters May 5.

When people talk about representation amongst characters on screen and how much of a difference it can make

From the Tumblr of Merryweather Blue:
"........I took my little brother (who falls on the autism spectrum) to see Guardians of the Galaxy and after this scene he lit up like a Christmas tree and screamed “He’s like me! He can’t do metaphors!” And for the rest of the film my brother stared at Drax in a state of rapture.

So for the last 6 days I have heard my brother repeatedly quote all of the Drax lines from the movie verbatim (one of his talents), begin studying vocabulary test words, and tell everyone he knows that people with autism can also be superheroes............"
