    Marsden is very sad.
    Indefinitely could be a few weeks. It's not going to change much, either way.

    Every other movie that had someone replaced was fine. That is if you like them, some people don't, but none of the directors have been irreplaceable.

    Might as well keep them dead then.

    I think they are actually doing some reshoots on A4 at this moment. It wouldn't inconceivable to do something that would work Drax out at this point--as long as it wasn't SFX heavy, which would require time. That's IF they chose to do it, which I don't think they would. It's sort of balancing the cost of the reshoots and how much it might "cost" to do a Drax free Vol. 3.

    They've got plenty of that. The release is still 8 months out.

    Joss Whedon shot the shawarma tag for the first Avengers movie in between the premiere date and the general release date.

    That explains why the uk version didn’t have it since it came out a week earlier here

    The first one was way better than the second.

    I tend to agree. There are some great moments in 2, but the way it is structured makes it all too predictable and even a bit boring for a good portion of the second act. .

    I was really hoping that his father wasn't going to be evil to be honest.

    I rewatched it the other day, and although still highly enjoyable, you are correct that it's not as original as the first one. However, what makes Guardians 2 work so well, is Gunn's deep understanding of the characters, both as director and writer. And I'm worried that no one else will capture that.
    Like I said earlier, I feel the Russo's did a great job in IW, as did Markus and McFeely. But that was not a whole movie based on the team. So we'll have to wait and see.

    I wouldn’t say he understands the characters well. They are very different in the comics.

    Gunn contributed a lot to their scenes in Infinity War.
    I wouldn't say the originals are better though. Gunn made them work and work well. Who else could end a superhero movie set in space on a raccoon opening himself up emotionally after a lifetime of bottling himself up due to trauma and have it work?

    Yes. Everyone who ever did anything stupid within the past decade should be terminated from any job that requires any degree of professionalism.

    Honestly I enjoyed number two but I started to drift about the middle. I love the song "Brandy" from the second, that alone is magic. However the first is simply better. I like Rocket so much. If he gets to be less sad, less hurt and bitter for the third instalment I will be happy.

    So would it be possible for a FEW people to NOT be resurrected from the Thanos snap?

    We know Black Panther will be for sure...but EVERYONE?

    I'm guessing you also know all of the other major players will be back, including Bucky, Wanda, Fury, Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, et al. There was no way any of those characters were "killed off" and will remain dead.
