As the controversy over Gunn's firing continues to unfold, many stars linked with the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise have opened up about the stern step taken by Disney.
UPDATED JUL 23, 2018

Marvel fans had to endure one of the most eventful weekends after it emerged late last week that 'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn was fired by Disney over tweets about rape and pedophilia - which many have deemed to be insensitive as well as offensive. As the controversy continues to unfold, many stars linked to the franchise have since opened up about the stern step taken by the studio in the light of the tweets that were posted some 9 to 10 years ago, with the latest ones being Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana. 

The two stars who have been involved with the Guardians movies since the very beginning took to social media on Monday, breaking their silence over the sudden firing of Gunn while remaining as cryptic as possible.
