Nobody is talking about it, but sources said that back channel conversations are taking place between Marvel Studios and Disney.

Sources said the Marvel contingent is trying to persuade Disney to explore a compromise that might bring Gunn back into the fold for “Guardians 3,” something that clearly would be best for the franchise. There is no clash or strong arming here. I’m told it’s a discussion that comes in the wake of the whole cast declaring their loyalty to Gunn, whose abrupt exit has put a thriving film franchise in a rocky place. One would have to label this 11th-hour approach to be a long shot, but the community is talking about it.
