First, all of the primary Guardians actors recently signed and released a statement about the matter that borders on asking Disney to rehire him: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl3OVfeF8Dc/?utm_source=ig_twitter_share&igshid=mnenqvv7figs

Second, Dave Bautista has stated that he will quit Guardians Vol. 3 if Disney does not use Gunn's script, though he has also admitted that he might be contractually forced to reprise the role: https://www.businessinsider.com/dave-bautista-threatens-to-quit-guardians-of-the-galaxy-3-2018-8 It's like the Streisand effect. By so quickly trying to sweep the "problem" under the rug, Disney only assured that this is what Vol. 3 will be associated with. And other Marvel movies are going to have to answer for it, too. They're going to start promoting Captain Marvel any day now. It has returning cast members from the original Guardians of the Galaxy. Brie Larson is a similarly vocal celebrity online who could possibly find herself the target of another alt-right hit job. Do we think they're not going to be asked about this?
