Month: May 2019

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has been a much-discussed movie in part due to how Marvel fired director James Gunn over controversial tweets and then re-hired him. Now that he’s back in the director’s chair, when can fans expect the movie to actually get underway? According The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel is planning to begin shooting in 2020.

Not only that, but the stars are all expected to return for the third movie in in the trilogy.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was originally expected to hit theatres in May 2020, but plans changed when Gunn was fired. Before he was re-hired, Gunn signed with Warner Bros. to write and direct The Suicide Squad. That movie is releasing in August 2021, so some expected Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to not shoot until later. But it looks like plans have shifted forward.

The entire future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is unclear at this stage. Marvel plans to reveal its plans for Phase 4 after the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home in July. That’s right around when Comic-Con takes place in San Diego.

Next up for Gunn is the superhero horror movie Brightburn, which he is producing. You can check out a harrowing new clip from the film here.

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn’s next movie is the superhero horror film Brightburn starring Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games) and David Denman (The Office, Big Fish). The film follows the story of a child who crash-lands on Earths and is adopted by the characters played by Banks and Denman, Tori and Kyle. They recognize his super-abilities and try to raise him to use them for good. But he doesn’t. Instead, he wreaks havoc on a small Kansas town, and people aren’t happy about it.

Brightburn comes to theatres later this month, and GameSpot can exclusively reveal a new clip from the film today where we see actor Matt Jones (Breaking Bad) enduring a harrowing visit from the young man, Brandon, who is played by Jackson A. Dunn. Check out the clip in the embed above.

Brightburn opens May 23 in Australia and then a day later on May 24 in the United States over the Memorial Day weekend. It was directed by David Yarovesky (The Hive) with a script by James Gunn’s brothers Brian and Mark Gunn. James Gunn and Kenneth Huang served as producers.

Here is the full plot description for Brightburn: “After a difficult struggle with fertility, Tori’s dreams of motherhood come true with the arrival of a mysterious baby boy. Brandon appears to be everything Tori and her husband Kyle ever wanted-bright, talented, curious about the world. But as Brandon nears puberty, a powerful darkness seems to manifest within him, and Tori becomes consumed by terrible doubts about her son. Once Brandon begins to act on his twisted urges, those closest to him find themselves in grave danger, as the miracle child transforms into a vicious predator unleashed on an unsuspecting Kansas town.”
