James Gunn, writer/director of these films and executive producer of Avengers 3, was fired by Disney from this and any other franchises due to old tweets and blog posts. It's a little surprising they were still online; Carrie Fisher's twitter and blog were cleaned up almost immediately when Disney bought Lucasfilm. Here's a rundown of all the... monkey business. At least he lasted longer than Harlan Ellison (RIP, a few weeks ago).
Again I suspect Bob Iger is clearing a path to run for president. This firing is not as egregious as John Lasseter from Pixar, he'll have to explain that one to the history books.Ellison was hired as a writer for Walt Disney Studios but was fired on his first day after Roy O. Disney overheard him in the studio commissary joking about making a pornographic animated film featuring Disney characters.
