Filmmaker James Gunn has been rehired to write and direct the third installment of the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' franchise for Marvel.announced he won't be joining the cancel culture chorus attacking one of his actors. Gunn isn’t looking to part ways with, nor will he punish, DC film star Zachary Levi for his recent tweet slamming the COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer Pfizer.
James Gunn defended "Shazam: Fury of the Gods" actor Zach Levi after he put out a tweet critical of vaccine manufacturing company Pfizer. The furor over Levi’s tweet has made for a potentially more complicated press tour for the upcoming"Shazam" sequel, which premieres in March. Gunn also stressed that he’s not willing to alter or reconsider his own filmmaking plans just because someone he works with has different opinions. He added,"And you know, I can’t be changing my plans all the time because an actor says something that I don’t agree with."
Gunn’s lenience towards Levi may be partially motivated by his own experiences when it comes to confrontation with"cancel culture." In 2018, he was fired from Disney/Marvel for years-old tweets joking about rape and child molestation that resurfaced and went viral.
Gunn got cancelled then uncancelled.
