James Gunn scandal: Disney rumored to be thinking about reinstating Guardians director as cast lends support

In the light of Disney terminating their relationship with the Guardians director, most recently, lead star Chris Pratt shared an open letter, expressing support for Gunn.

The controversy surrounding James Gunn's firing from Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' franchise has been snowballing by the day. First Disney created ripples with their stern response to the filmmaker's decade-old tweets pertaining to topics of rape and pedophilia - deemed insensitive by many - and now the cast associated with the Guardians movie have rallied behind Gunn, urging the studios to reinstate him.

In the light of the mouse house terminating their relationship with the 51-year-old director, most recently, lead star Chris Pratt even shared an open letter, expressing support for Gunn. While at the moment there's no confirmed report on whether or not the Guardians of the director would be rehired by Disney, a new rumor has surfaced suggesting that the chances seem likely.
