Guardians of the Galaxy - James Gunn reinstated for GotG Vol. 3

I think what got Gunn his job back was his professionalism. He didn't respond to being fired with a massive twitter thread insulting Disney, or being part of a boycott movement. I don't know how many people in show business are capable of that.

Honestly? It seems to depend on what political side you're on.

If he was a right-winger. He'd still be floundering around looking for a job.
