Comic-Con 2014: The original writer of ?Guardians? tells TheWrap that Gunn will make the sequel James Gunn will write and direct the sequel to ?Guardians of the Galaxy,? his co-writer Nicole Perlman told TheWrap. The positive buzz enveloping the movie, due out next week, has spawned frequent chatter about a sequel. Marvel has not officially announced one, though it may at its Comic-Con panel Saturday. Representatives for Marvel did not offer any comment. Gunn has told people that he would like to make a sequel, but it depends on how the movie fares at the box office. Advanced tracking projects it will gross at least $60 million over its opening weekend ? and others are even more bullish. IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond went out of his way this week to say the movie would overperform.

?They started to figure it out pretty quick when they started getting the reactions from the audience; it was a very positive reaction,? Perlman told TheWrap. ?Of course they would want to make a sequel as long as it does well and people are excited about it, they'll wanna do a sequel. So, it's going to happen.? As for Gunn? ?James will be directing ?Guardians 2,? so he would also be writing ?Guardians 2,'? said Perlman. Also read: ?Guardians of the Galaxy? Review: Chris Pratt Rides Shotgun on Marvel's Charming Space Opera Perlman sounded less certain about her own involvement, but said she would love to work with Marvel again. She got the job writing the first film out of Marvel's writers program, which asks scribes to take a crack at adapting a few comics. Perlman chose ?Guardians? because it blended science fiction with humor, and it became her first produced film credit. It was also a huge leap for Gunn, who inherited Perlman's initial script and put his own spin on it. His two previous films, ?Slither? and ?Super,? cost a fraction of what Marvel sank into ?Guardians.? He has not signed on to direct another project ? though many have been offered ? so another ?Guardians? is in his future.

James Gunn Teases the Identity of Star-Lord's Father in Guardians of the Galaxy 2

"It?s definitely not the character who it is in the comics," says Gunn, knocking Spartoi emperor J'son out of the running. "I?ll say that much... There have been a lot of documents passed around about who Peter Quill?s father is between a select two or three of us. That?s been part of the plan since the beginning, that?s something I had to work out before we shot the screenplay. We wanted to make sure Yondu?s place in everything made sense and it does, so it?s all very specific stuff."

Gunn also updates on whether or not we'll see Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

"He will show up if he helps our story," says Gunn, "and he will not show up at all if not. Thanos is not the most important thing in 'Guardians 2,' that?s for damn sure. There?s the Guardians themselves and other threats the Guardians are going to be facing that are not Thanos."

Production Weekly has listed the film as 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2 "aka Guardians 3000"'. In the comics, these guys were the original Guardians of the Galaxy, and protected the future from various cosmic threats. They currently have their own comic series, titled 'Guardians 3000' to avoid confusion with Star-Lord, Groot and the gang. Interestingly enough, they have also counted Yondu among their ranks, who you'll remember as the blue-skinned space pirate that 'adopted' Quill after his mum died of cancer. Could this mean that the original Guardians of the Galaxy will be making an appearance alongside the modern team in the sequel? We'll have to wait and see. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will be released worldwide on May 5th, 2017.

At what point I wonder do they mix with the Avengers?

 

I believe at the Infinity war - I'm assuming the whole Infinity Stone/Thanos stuff comes to a head during these movies which is near enough what all the movies so far have got in common so far. It's probably something a bit more obvious to those who has read the comics etc but I think it's a safe assumption.

James Gunn Returning to Write and Direct ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’

 

While “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” has yet to hit theaters, Marvel has already set James Gunn to return to write and direct a third installment.

 

Gunn announced the news on his Facebook page on Monday, shortly before embarking on the “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” press tour.

 

“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,” he wrote. “So, yes, I’m returning to write and direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.”

Well, the movie has so much hype going for it that there's zero chance it doesn't make money for them, Disney is in sequel turbo mode with it's Marvel stuff, so Is it really a surprise?

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

      Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
