As Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 closes in on a very impressive $142.3M-$146.8M opening weekend at the US box office (the sequel now sits at $427M worldwide), director James Gunn has shared a heartfelt, and very personal thank you to fans on his Facebook page.
Gunn says that although he does "get distracted" by the numbers, that's not the reason he puts so much hard work into making these films, and recalls a lonely childhood that was made much easier by "Marvel comics, science fiction and horror films, the music of The Sex Pistols, The Replacements, and Queen." Gunn concludes by thanking fans for the support, and says he will "continue being here with you over the next three years as we create Vol. 3."
