James Gunn will not return to direct 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3'.
The 52-year-old director was sacked by Disney in light of a series of controversial tweets he posted over a decade ago but, although fans were hoping that the studio would reverse their decision, it's believes bosses are sticking to their guns.
According to Variety.com, Gunn had a meeting with Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn recently to discuss the prospect of having his job back but after a lot of negotiation, it's been decided that the studio will find someone else to helm the film.
Mr Horn previously released a statement in which he detailed the reasons for sacking the director, saying: "The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James' Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio's values, and we have severed our business relationship with him."
