Guardians 3: Who is replacing James Gunn? 'Ghostbusters' director Paul Feig addresses rumors

The Guardians of the Galaxy is still James' franchise, says Paul Feig who admits he will never take anything away from another filmmaker
PUBLISHED SEP 7, 2018

James Gunn's departure has left the future of the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' series in the dark. For the uninitiated, the 52-year-old filmmaker, who has helmed the franchise since its inception, was fired by Disney earlier after some of his decade-old social media posts, deemed offensive and distasteful by many, resurfaced. Since then, many stars have come forward, expressing their support for Gunn as the search for a replacement ensues.

Interestingly, among the many names that have been floated around to take over Gunn's responsibility as the director of the much-awaited third Guardians movie, one is Paul Feig ('Ghostbusters', 'Spy', and 'Bridesmaids'). While jumping in on a Marvel project would be a lucrative option for any director, Feig's response to the proposition might not come as happy news to fans.
