There was a Marvel Universe, a DC Universe, and then the James Gunn Universe, which was slightly more… pathetic. I created a character called White Lightning who was very fast, a bunch of characters called Super Robots and they were named Stretch-O and Strong-O and things like that, and their enemy was Weasel Sam. What were some of those superheroes that you created as a kid? I liked them so much that I’d draw and create my own superheroes that were ripped off from actual ones, and some of the ones I ripped off were from Guardians of the Galaxy. I had a lot of comic books as a kid, and they would show up in The Avengers, and they were very powerful, and very cool.
James Gunn: I actually came across the Guardians as a very young kid. When did you come across Guardians of the Galaxy? I grew up in comic book stores and I gotta admit I’d never really heard of it. After it’s stolen by Ronan (Lee Pace) on behalf of Thanos, Quill bands together with a gang of alien misfits-Gamora (Zoe Saldana), an ex-Thanos assassin Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), a genetically-engineered raccoon/bounty hunter his pal Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel), a humanoid tree and Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), a vengeful warrior-to retrieve the orb and save the universe. Unbeknownst to him, the orb contains an Infinity Stone, which holds within it the power to destroy entire planets. Guardians centers on Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), an intergalactic smuggler who swipes an orb. “We’ve been pulling it back and pulling it back, and we’re finally ready to let it go.”
“It’s kind of like a slingshot,” exclaims Gunn. His Marvel superhero space opera, Guardians of the Galaxy, is poised to conquer the box office, and received such critical raves and good buzz prior to its release that Marvel went ahead and greenlit a sequel, which Gunn will once again write and direct. Now, the onetime Lloyd Kaufman/Troma apprentice is the toast of Tinseltown. Due to heavy friction with the producers, the project fell through.
Following the release of his critically acclaimed directorial debut Slither, a hilarious fusion of creature feature and wacky comedy, Gunn was hired to write and direct the sci-fi comedy Pets, featuring Ben Stiller as a mild-mannered suburbanite who’s abducted by aliens that wish to transform him into their pet, for 20 th Century Fox. those Scooby-Doo flicks featuring the casts of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream. For years, the filmmaker toiled within the Hollywood studio system as a writing gun for hire, penning screenplays that mutated into lackluster films, e.g. See all our E3 2021 and Summer Game Fest coverage by clicking here.To say that James Gunn is ecstatic is a vast understatement.

Here’s hoping they don’t return in thirty years, asking to speak to Baby Wets-a-Lot. Instead, it focuses on just getting a rocket into orbit, something that Elon Musk and several other private “entrepreneurs” have been trying to do think Kerbal Space Program but starting small.Īs you strive to be the first to win the budget space race, Next Space Rebels lets you incorporate some very strange features into your design the trailer shows off a rocket-mounted teddy bear and doll, which is going to give some aliens pause for thought.
