Director James Gunn Reveals Deleted ‘Last Supper of Groot’ Scene From ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

Guardians of the Galaxy is one of my favorite movies. Not just in terms of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — in that regard, it’s literally my favorite — but in general: I’d reckon the film cracks my Top 20ish (?) of all-time. In fact, you could make the argument that it’s one of the best sci-fi films of the 21st century so far, in the sense that it bears space-opera similarities to that of the original Star Wars.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s Wyatt Russell Called James Gunn Before Taking Marvel Role

Marvel newcomer Wyatt Russell put in a phone call to Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker James Gunn before accepting his role as John Walker, the new Captain America, in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. A well-read Marvel Comics fan who directed Russell's father, Kurt Russell, in 2017's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Gunn described Walker as a flawed and "inherently interesting" character who assumes the mantle of Captain America after Steve Rogers resigns the role. When Walker proves unworthy of the stars and shield of Captain America, he reinvents himself as the black-suited super-soldier U.S. Agent.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Wyatt Russell spoke to James Gunn before accepting the role

Wyatt Russell played the male toxic version of Captain America known as John Walker in Falcon and the Winter Soldier – 97%, who later became a US Agent. The actor has admitted that he is not a Marvel comic book reader and therefore had no idea who John Walker is or what playing that character could entail. He recently gave an interview for the YouTube channel Gold derby (via Comic Book). There he revealed that the first big complication of working with Marvel is that you don’t know who they want you to play until you have a meeting with them and in his case after knowing it, it stayed the same; without knowing whether or not he wanted to play that character:

Riverdale's Lochlyn Munro Praises James Gunn, Says He's Lucky To Be Part of Peacemaker

It might seem like nobody could be as excited about Peacemaker, James Gunn's forthcoming HBO Max series starring John Cena, than either Gunn or Cena have been in recent interviews. But Riverdale star Lochlyn Munro, who has a somewhat mysterious part to play in the series, is vying for a shot at the title, too. Peacemaker spins out of the events of Gunn's The Suicide Squad, which is set to hit theaters and HBO Max in August, and centers on Cena's character from that film, a maniacal antihero who is so committed to "peace at all costs" that he's willing to kill anyone standing in his way to get it.
