I literally got a phone call two days ago about this.
Theres just one thing…
Ive never seenGuardians of the Galaxy.
I dont know anything about it.
Im one of the four idiots who have never seen it, evidently.
But I dont know it.
I didnt realize [James Gunn] had written and directed it.
I got nothing to offer here.
Im amazed to get asked about this, because everybody knows more about it than I do.
Cross your fingers that Russell sees the film over the holiday break and falls in love with it!
Gunn, who wrote and will directGuardians of the Galaxy, Vol.
2for Marvel, will begin filming next year.
