We've already known for a while now that a third Guardians of the Galaxy film is coming, and director and writer James Gunn said more information on the film would become available in the following weeks. Now Gunn (who has made both films in the series so far) has revealed that he will return to direct and write the film, saying the following in a statement about this:
"So, after many months of ruminations and discussions, I know the answer. I could save this answer for the first, random interviewer to ask me during the press junket but instead I thought I'd share it with the most important people in the Guardiansverse - you, the fans, who have been so incredibly supportive and enthusiastic over the past five years, it has moved me to tears on a regular basis. So, yes, I'm returning to write and direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3."
Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2 is released at the end of this month, but if you really love the series you can get an added dose by downloading Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series. Is it a good choice to stick with James Gunn?
Thanks, Variety.
