For those not aware of what Gunn is referring to when he says it’s been “a strange & long at times challenging journey to get here,…” because the director was originally fired from the production of the third film in Fall 2018 after a series of “offensive old tweets” from the filmmaker had resurfaced online.
After losing his spot on the film’s production Gunn went on to work on Warner Bros.’ “The Suicide Squad.” In 2019, Disney decided to bring Gunn back for the third film. Although, at this time the director had been booked out on projects for quite sometime.
Because of this series of events, the third film’s release was pushed back by multiple years, moving it farther down the lineup of releases in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Currently, if no more changes come about to the production of the movie, this film is set to be released in theaters May 23, 2023.
For a frame of reference on how big the gap has been between the second and third film in this series, “Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2” came out in theaters on May 5, 2017.
