James Gunn has a great run at Marvel Studios with its three Guardians of the Galaxy movies, all fantastic! During his time there, Gunn was also working on several spin-off projects that Marvel ultimately never produced.
During a recent interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Gunn revealed three of the Guardians spinoffs that were in consideration for development at Marvel.
These include a show about the Ravagers, a project about Rocket and Groot, and Legendary Star-Lord. When asked about these spin-offs, Gunn said:
“There are so many. I mean yeah, the Ravagers show, I thought it would be a fun thing. The legendary Star-Lord, we really, frankly, had a complete idea for this. And then Rocket and Groot…”
Gunn went on to explain what Rocket and Groot eventually became Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3saying:
“Actually, Rocket & Groot is what Guardians 3 was. So, I wanted to do Rocket & Groot first, and then they talked me into doing Guardians 3 instead of Rocket & Groot. I knew I had to tell Rocket’s story.”
Gunn was then asked if he would serve as a producer on any future Guardians projects at Marvel, and Gunn said he wasn’t sure what the legal answer was. However, he said the studio and the creative team associated with those projects had his blessing.
He said: “I’m thrilled that they can do whatever they want with the Guardians. Take those characters and see more stories with them.
Gunn also shared that Star-Lord star Chris Pratt has asked for his advice, saying, “Chris has my blessing, everyone has my blessing. Chris keeps saying, ‘Is this OK?’ and I’m like, man, by the way, I’m totally okay with whatever you do. Go do it. He’s one of my closest friends and I’d love to see him be Star-Lord again.
We know for a fact that Marvel has plans for Star-Lord and it will be interesting to see what they will be. Would you have liked to see one of these spin-offs made?
