Guardians of the Galaxy + James Gunn = Success According to Joss Whedon! [Video]

"Guardians of the Galaxy" Director James Gunn

“Guardians of the Galaxy” Director James Gunn

There’s been a lot of speculation ever since we announced the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie. First, it was about who would direct it, then it was about the rumored storyline, then it was about the match-up of the chosen director to the movie.

Well, Joss Whedon thinks that you shouldn’t worry about that at all. As a matter of fact, Whedon said as soon as Gunn’s name was mentioned, he knew everything would be ok. MTV spoke with Whedon about the choice and his thoughts on Gunn as the director.

“I myself was sort of like, ‘Well, I liked Rocket Raccoon as a kid, but I’m not sure how that plays [to a wider audience].’ And then they said, ‘Well, we’re thinking about using James Gunn.’ And I said, ‘Oh, then no, you’re fine.’ He is so off the wall, and so crazy, but so smart, such a craftsman and he builds from his heart. He loves the raccoon. Needs the raccoon.”

Do you agree with Whedon? I just wish there was more info available about the movie, but apparently Gunn has just begun writing it. When we more, we’ll let you know!
