Disney fired Gunn last year from the director of the third movie "Guardians" of Marvel Cinematic Universe, after offensive tweets have redone surface after years in which Gunn had joked about child abuse.
The decision was immediately rejected, including the "Guardians of the Galaxy" cast, which issued a joint statement in defense of Gunn in July.
