According to comicbook.com, it has been months since Disney has announced that it is parting ways with director James Gunn for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but recent reports from The Hollywood Reporter claim that the film is now being put on hiatus potentially due to the firing of Gunn, who has directed each film so far in the Guardians franchise. Sources are claiming that Gunn's script of Guardians 3 is still being used while other sources are reporting that Disney and Marvel Studios are meeting with Gunn to discuss options for the film's future. Despite the uncertainty around the project, Disney has decided to stick with their decision to part ways with the director.
