James Gunn helmed Marvel Cinematic Universe's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, and his last project was 2023's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Now that he's the co-ceo of DC Studios, Gunn is no longer involved with any Guardians projects but addressed the spin-offs they had previously discussed.

Speaking to Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast to promote his new animated series, Creature Commandos, which serves as the beginning of the new DC Universe, the director also looked back at his time with the MCU. Gunn addressed Robert Downey Jr.'s return to Marvel, whether he's still attached as a producer to the future Guardians projects, and revealed which spin-offs he and the MCU were considering for the Guardians. At the same time, he teased that he has already spoken with one of the Guardians actors for a role in the Dcu.

The Guardians of the Galaxy were James Gunn’s passion project in the MCU. He crafted the story, directed the trilogy, and turned it into a massive success. With brilliant casting and a knack for delivering hits even during the MCU’s tougher times, Gunn’s era with the Guardians became iconic—but it has officially come to an end.

Now leading the Dcu, Gunn is focused on building Marvel’s biggest competition. Meanwhile, Marvel seems likely to either put the Guardians on pause or reimagine them entirely, which would mark a significant departure from Gunn’s vision.

Recently, in a conversation with Josh Horowitz, Gunn revealed an intriguing detail: Marvel had plans for several Guardians of the Galaxy spin-offs at one point, offering a fascinating glimpse at what might have been.

James Gunn brought Guardians of the Galaxy to life on the big screen, with the first movie becoming an instant success.

The Guardians of the Galaxy, as you know, were James Gunn’s lovechild in the MCU. He planned it all, filmed it all, and made the trilogy a hit. Sure, his casting choices were excellent,t and Gunn knew how to hit the spot even when the MCU was struggling, but that era is now over.

Gunn has moved over to the Dcu and is working on creating proper competition for Marvel with his movies, and it seems that the MCU will either forget about the Guardians for a while or change them up so much that they won’t be the same team from Gunn’s run, which makes sense.

But, speaking to Josh Horowitz recently, James Gunn shared some interesting information about some of Marvel’s plans related to the Guardians of the Galaxy series, revealing how several spin-off projects were, at one point, planned by the House of the Mouse,...

Though much of the excitement around Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 has been turned down to a simmer while we await the heroes’ appearance in Infinity War, there’s still some fun to be mined from the acid-washed sequel—mostly at David Hasselhoff’s expense.. Take this cameo-filled video for his contribution to the soundtrack, “Guardians Inferno.” The Hoff, outfitted in Liberace-levels of spangles, stands in for Star-Lord in verse, describing his adventures with a raccoon, sentient plant life, and Dave Bautista.

The Gunn brothers, James and Sean, make up the backing band, along with Michael Rooker (who plays Yondu) and Gamora/Zoe Saldana. Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, who provide the voices for Rocket and Groot, aren’t seen or heard, and for a while, it looks like Chris Pratt also managed to dodge this disco ball-shaped bullet. But by the video’s end, he’s revealed to...

David Hasselhoff played a brief but memorable cameo in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” and lent his voice to the wonderfully cheesy disco song “Guardians Inferno,” which played over the movie’s end credits. Now, to mark the film’s release on Blu-Ray this month, director James Gunn has released a new music video starring him, Hasselhoff and the “GotG” cast in all their standard-definition disco glory. There are many moments that are going to leave Marvel fans howling with laughter, including Gunn mimicking a drum solo, Hasselhoff crooning about Rocket and Groot in his signature, clownish style and,...
