The mere notion of Edgar Wright replacing James Gunn on ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ gets royally roasted

Perhaps it’s too soon to be thinking about who could replace Gunn; after all, it’s not even been two weeks since the third film hit theaters. Whilst GotG 4 is an inevitability it will be a very different film with a very different team, we’re not going to get the same type of humor and charm that Gunn brought to the table.

There’s an ocean of directors out there that could give fans what they want. Although most do tend to fly under the radar. The Twitter went on to specify the five directors that they were talking about.

for reference those five directors are

Steven Spielberg

James Cameron

Quentin Tarantino

Edgar Wright

and Rian Johnson

Dermot Mulroney Facts – @rightbackatya4

Some rightly pointed out that Edgar Wright doesn’t even count because he directed Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, arguably the best comic book adaptation there is. All of these directors are well known in the mainstream and none of them seem like the type to jump in bed with Marvel anytime soon.

It does get tiring to see the same names coming up again and again in fan suggestions. Seeing some fresh talent in the industry could revive comic book movies after so many disappointments lately. Let’s not forget that Gunn himself was relatively unknown before GotG; so maybe it’s time to start casting the net a little wider and taking a chance on a less established director.
