Last July, Guardians franchise director James Gunn was abruptly fired from the third installment by Disney after a series of offensive tweets from nearly ten years ago were uncovered. Despite having apologized for the tweets long before he was hired by Disney, Gunn released another lengthy apology and received droves of support from both the cast and Hollywood in general, yet Disney has remained firm on the firing.

So, now nearly seven months later – where does that leave the third Guardians film? Well, while promoting The Lego Movie 2, star Chris Pratt offered fans a hopeful update about the future of the franchise.
