10 Actors Who Have Taken Shots At The MCU
5. Dave Buatista Takes On Disney To Stand Up For James Gunn
What He Said
"There's a bit of an issue. It's a bittersweet conversation. No - it's a bitter, bitter conversation because I'm not really happy with what they've done with James Gunn. They're putting the movie off. It's on hold indefinitely. To be honest with you, I don't know if I want to work for Disney... I've been very vocal about the way I feel. I'm not afraid to admit the way I feel."
Why He Said It
Dave Bautista is not a man to mince his words, because let's face it when you're his size, it is virtually impossible to be intimated by any man who is not named The Undertaker. But Bautista is also a loyal friend, and he exhibited that loyalty when Disney fired James Gunn because of some offensive tweets he had made a decade ago.
Bautista went on a full twitter blast, taking Gunn's side over the whole ordeal. His outspokenness may have had an effect on his co-actors as well. The others led by Chris Pratt and Karen Gillan shared an open letter they had all signed asking for Gunn's reinstatement.
The combined might of the cast of the movie, and the outpouring of support from fans worked, and James Gunn was rehired to once again steer the druken, chaotic space ship blaring music from the '80s and '90s that is the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.
