In a tweet sent out by James Gunn, he has revealed that the film itself does not have any second unit on hand for filming, saying that he is the only director on set directing all the action sequences. Usually with films on this scale there is a second unit off doing all the action sequences.

We’ve done about 1,500 set-ups so far on #GotGVol2. And still have six weeks left. No second unit, all us!

Hmm I remember Zack Snyder also shot Man of Steel with no second unit.

Chubster654 - 5/12/2016, 6:30 PM

Is that no second unit thing bad or good?
