Marvel fans will not be happy with this news. According to a new report, Disney and Marvel Studios are not planning to rehire James Gunn to direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but rather sticking to their original decision to fire him after some previous offensive tweets of his surfaced online.

But, many are wondering how exactly are they going to integrate a whole subspecies of humanity in mutants into an already fleshed out universe that is the MCU? Well, a quote from a report this past week detailing the issues behind the scenes of X-Men: Dark Phoenix may just hold the answer.
