GOTG VOL. 3: Kevin Feige Suggests That We're Going To Be Waiting A LONG Time For The Threequel
We knew that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was on hold following James Gunn's firing, but if an update from Kevin Feige is any indication, we're going to be waiting even longer than we initially thought.
After Disney made the decision to fire James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Marvel Studios announced that the movie had been put on hold until a new director could be brought in to replace him.
That was back in August of last year and we haven't had any solid updates since, and now it looks like we know why.
While chatting to Collider, Kevin Feige revealed that GOTG Vol. 3 is still very much on hold, and suggested that there's been very little movement at all on the movie as the studio has been focusing on other projects.
"I mean, when it was pushed back, it was pushed back. Meaning the release date, because it’s not coming out—although we’ve never announced a release date actually, but it was gonna happen sooner rather than later, initially of course. Outside of knowing that we’re gonna use [James Gunn’s] draft, [we have] been focusing on other projects.”
As Feige reiterates, no official release date for GOTG Vol. 3 had been announced, and it's clear that whatever tentative plans were in place have now been scrapped.
Is there a chance that the movie could be shelved for good? We'll just have to wait and see, but we reckon those intergalactic A-holes will definitely reassemble for another adventure... eventually!
