Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has seen Avengers: Infinity War and has provided the first official reaction to the hugely anticipated Marvel movie, which will pit over 40 superheroes against their most formidable adversary yet, Thanos.
“Avengers Infinity War is INCREDIBLE. Wow!!!! And that’s all I’ll say for the time being,” he tweeted on Thursday. Gunn’s tweet was retweeted by Scott Derrickson, the director of Doctor Strange. Infinity War takes us one step closer to the culmination of Marvel’s Phase III, which will conclude in 2019 with the follow-up to this film.
Gunn has directed both Guardians of the Galaxy movies to huge critical and commercial success. He is in pre-production on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, which is expected to arrive in theatres in 2020. Since the departure of Joss Whedon from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Gunn has taken on more responsibility in the franchise. He has been credited as an executive producer on both upcoming Avengers movies. Infinity War will unite the Guardians and the Avengers for the first time in the MCU.
