Interview: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Writer and Director James Gunn
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2Feature James Gunn marvel movie news Movie News set visits
By Scott Chitwood
Talking with Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 writer and director James Gunn is a bit of a tricky dance. On the one hand, Gunn is passionate about the characters, the actors, and the storytelling. It's easy to tell he loves his cast and crew and wants to share it with the public. But on the other hand, he wants to keep the surprises of the film under wraps. After all, our set visit was in April 2016, over a year before the film would hit screens. Security was tight on the set in order to preserve the secrecy. Case in point – the name "J'son" was on pre-production art, storyboards, and Kurt Russell's chair (despite the fact that we now know he's Ego the Living Planet in the movie). So when we finally got a chance to sit down and talk about the film with Gunn, "J'son" was the first question.
Q: I hate to put you on the spot, immediately, right away, but let's just get this out of the way. After we had seen some stuff today, we went back and were looking around, you had said on Twitter that there is no J'Son in the MCU. So when this eventually comes out and Kurt's character's revealed, how do we reconcile where that is?
James Gunn: I say the same thing, there is no J'Son in the MCU.
Q: So now we have we understand how that makes sense.
Gunn: Think we aren't prepared for you guys? Think anything we did today is real? We hate each other. There is no J'Son in the MCU.
Q: So how does that statement reconcile with what we think we know?
Gunn: It's what you think. I mean, (producer Jonathan Schwartz's) standing right here, but I'll just come out and say it, there's no J'Son in the MCU. That's for you.
Q: That's legit? Okay.
Gunn: Yeah, that's just what we're using right now.
Q: It's like you said, that concept art is changing.
Q: It was less the concept art. The chair, I think Kurt even used…
Gunn: Oh yeah, I call him J'Son all the time. That's what we do. But I also want to make clear, here's the thing that gets stuck with, he isn't J'Son. He isn't named J'Son in the movie. That's just flat out the case. But here's the thing, we'll probably all know who the father is by the time this movie comes out, we meaning you guys, because the movie really isn't about that. It's not about this big reveal of who the father is. It really is about the story between the different characters, and so it's not about that reveal. It's not about there's this big shock moment. We're probably all going to know by the time the movie comes out. It happens pretty close to the beginning of the film. It's not something we reveal at the end of the film. So it's something that'll come out eventually. I think it's just we want to choose the time when that comes out. And hopefully we'll be able to do that.
Q: We were talking with Kevin Feige earlier today and he mentioned that you came in there with a 64-page treatment, something in that range…
Gunn: Yeah.
Q: How much has the script evolved since?
Gunn: I'll say one major thing that happened during the treatment phase, not even during the script phase, during the treatment phase there was another character that was a major character. That was a part of the treatment. Although it kind of worked generally in the story, I got to the place where there were too many characters. I think Civil War handles a lot of characters really well, but they're minor characters, and in this movie every character has their own arc. Their own thing. And I thought it was one character too many, so I took one of the characters out of the story about half way through the treatment phase. But the eventual 70-page treatment, which is what it was, is what this movie is, and it has changed very, very little. And there's been almost no changes in the past three or four months before shooting; minor, minor lines here and there. We did rehearsals and some things I changed because of that. Now who knows, we may get into post and go, "Oh my God, let's change everything," I hope that isn't the case, but I've been really fortunate. And part of it is because I knew on the last movie we did do a lot of changes later on. We did some changes in production. We did some changes in post-production, and I knew this time I was really fortunate to have such a head start on the script. And to make that story really strong so we could have that from the beginning. And so that was something I focused on, was really dialing in the screenplay, the dialogue, everything before we ever even came here to Atlanta.
Q: It sounds like a big part of Nebula and Gamora's arc is dealing with the residual trauma of being raised by Thanos. So why not have Thanos in the movie?
Gunn: First of all, it's about two sisters. It's not about the sisters and their father. It's about two sisters and what were the sisters' problems with each other. And yeah, some of those things were caused by being raised by the ultimate abusive father. But it really isn't about Thanos, and frankly I just wasn't inspired to put him in the movie. I kind of go with my gut on these things and it just wasn't what I wanted to do. It wasn't the most fun part of the movie last time for me, and I just didn't really want to do it this time. And again the relationship with Thanos has nothing to do with it. It's not about their relationship with Thanos. It's about their relationship to each other, and what is that. And that was interesting to me. And I thought that was important to our story, and that was important to our characters. What happened with them in the past. There's a lot of stuff that happened in the past that affects our characters presently. Same thing with Rocket. Rocket's past is very important to the present story, but it's not about how it affects him, it's about how it affects his relationship with the other Guardians.
Q: You doing any IMAX scenes?
Gunn: Yeah, we're switching aspect ratios just like did on the first movie. This time it's a little more planned out ahead of time, but we switch between 2:35 and 1:89 aspect ratios.
Q: What was the inspiration at the beginning, because the first movie ends very open ended. The Guardians are back. And we know it's not about Peter's father, but it's about the relationship that they have, Gamora and Nebula, so there's family things. Talk about, a little bit, when you first sat down say I have to write the second movie. What you wanted it to be about.
Gunn: Well I mean, the first family is about becoming a family, the second film is about being a family. But I also think I had more science fiction concept around Quill and his relationship to his father, that's a little bit of a bigger idea, and I think knew where the characters needed to go and I felt extremely freed by not having to set up so many major characters in 20 minutes. Like I did in the first movie, which was by far the biggest pain in the ass of the first film.
Q: Not only have you never done a sequel before, but it feels like most of your movies and projects have been departures from each other. So you're following up a movie, it's your first sequel. Do you feel like you're doing another departure? Is this a departure from the first film? Is it the same thing?
Gunn: I think it's a departure from the first film. I think one of the things that worked about the first movie was that people went into the movie expecting one thing and they got something that they like more than what they expected. And it was different then what they expected, and I think the second movie is the same thing. I don't think it's going to be what anyone expects.
Q: In terms of the new characters, there was an arsenal you could have chose from, and there was obviously a lot of fan opinions about who they wanted to see join the movie. How did you land on Mantis and these new characters?
Gunn: S**t, I don't know. I really wish I could remember how I landed on Mantis, but I just felt like she served this aspect of the story the best. I can't remember.
Q: Mantis is really complicated in the comics. There's a lot of different versions of her, and she's done a lot of different things. Is your version a clean slate? Is it your version of Mantis, or are there other elements of the comics?
Gunn: Both. It's both. It's my version, there's elements of the comics as well. I think that, frankly, some of these characters that do have the various pasts, and various different origins are a little bit easier in Guardians movies, because they don't come with as much expectations. I think adding alien elements to some of these characters a little easier. From the beginning I say, for the time being, Quill is the only Earthling superhero, member of the Guardians. So, that was part of what I had I in mind with her, and that's probably part of why I landed on her as well.
Q: Kurt mentioned that he's never had so many people tell him that he has to take a role as he had with this, and it just seemed to be fate willing this to happen. Was there ever a Plan B? In your mind "It's gotta be Kurt," and we've got to try and find a way to make it work because he's just perfect.
Gunn: He was perfect, but I felt like the script was good and if Kurt Russell said no we would have found somebody else, I would hope. So, I never want to say there's no Plan B, because that would just be a lie. There's a lot of great actors out there. There's a lot of great 60-ish old actors out there. So yeah, I think we would've found another. One of the great things about doing this one was we weren't under pressure to have a name actor in that role, and we actually auditioned a lot of no-name actors for the role. So, that was pretty cool. And with Pom, she came in and she had done some things before, but she doesn't have a huge track record, but she came in and she nailed, just completely, completely nailed the role. In a way, that honestly, nobody else has ever done for this movie. On either this or Guardians 1, and that's pretty incredible.
Q: Can you talk about the music, and choosing the songs, and what inspired your choices?
Gunn: I think that the soundtrack is an evolution from the soundtrack to the first movie. I think the first movie was made for a child that was a couple years younger than the child that this music was made for. So it's slightly more complex songs. I also think that we have a wider variety of songs. You guys heard, probably, one of the songs today. We have a couple of songs that are enormous songs, which we didn't have on the first movie. We also have a couple songs that are almost completely unknown, or not very well known at all. So there's a bigger gamut between the popular and unpopular songs on the second album.
Q: We all met, and fell in love with Baby Groot today. Was there any consideration of ever having him be more full-grown in this movie?
Gunn: Totally, a hundred percent. I started out thinking of him as full grown, and I didn't, you know, of having him grow up. Then all of a sudden I thought, that's what you would think you would do, really, and I'm like really don't have to stick with that. It could be Baby Groot, and Baby Groot is very different. He's a unique little fella, and he's pretty great in the movie even though he's not even there. But all the time Chris is like, "God dammit, he's gonna steal the f*cking movie." And it's nothing. It's nothing there, but he's funny even in the dailies we're watching. And we got the guy on a stick, and people are laughing. There's something really cool about him, and he's funny in the movie. He's a little jerk too.
Q: He's strong, right? He can kick some ass too?
Gunn: Yeah he can kick some ass. He's also an idiot. He's a baby. He's not very smart. So, he's stupid.
Q: It's still Vin doing the voice, right? Or are you going to recast?
Jonathan Schwartz: I think that's unknown at this point.
Gunn: We're figuring that out.
Q: What's easier to shoot with – Baby Groot or the Groot you were working with last time?
Gunn: Quite honestly, I'd say Baby Groot, but the reason for that is unknown. A lot of times on the first movie we were like "are we even putting Groot in this movie?" Because Shawn plays Rocket on set, and he's so present as Rocket that you're very aware of Rocket as a character. The guy playing Groot was a stand-in on the last movie and so he was there we just kind of always forgot he was there. He doesn't talk very much, so you're doing all these scenes and when we have the scenes in the movie where they turn to Groot and Groot's like "why are you forgetting me?" That's really what we felt like while we were shooting the first film. And I think also, the whole personality of Groot and who he was, it was there on the page and then you forget about it while you were shooting the first movie. But now everyone knows Groot so well that we have much larger awareness, me and the cast, of a Baby Groot being there at all times. And him being one of the members in the scene. So it's been much easier from that respect, but I'm not sure if it's because Baby Groot is – I'll say, yeah, I think he's a better-written character then the first Groot in some ways. Not that he was poorly written at all, but I think he's just more complete character.
Q: Going back to the music, when you said you put the songs that you want in the script, has there ever been a scene were you had a song and when you were doing the scene you were kind of like "Oh this isn't working. I'm gonna need to switch this out." Or has everything just kind of…
Gunn: For this movie, or for the last movie?
Q: For this movie. Or for either.
Gunn: No. No, for this movie it's worked really well so far. For the last movie I think it worked pretty well too. I don't think I had anything I changed out. On the last movie the one song that wasn't on the script that I remember was Moonage Daydream, which we tried a lot of other songs for that scene, which didn't work. Or didn't work quite as well as Moonage Daydream.
Q: So outside of looking totally badass, is Yondu's fin, is there an impetus for that?
Gunn: Yeah, there's a reason. There's a reason for it. Yes, there's a reason for the change of fins.
Q: Does that have to do with the Ravagers' larger role in this movie?
Gunn: Yeah, it does. It does, yeah. That's exciting answers. Put that down. Write that down. It does.
Q: We saw a little bit of the art, but we don't really know a ton about Ayesha, can you explain a little bit about her character and what she presents to the Guardians. In terms of being a formidable villain for the Guardians.
Gunn: She's a member of this race called the Suvern and they're all genetically created by themselves as a self-sustaining race who are perfect. They're created as perfect beings, and they think of themselves as perfect.
Q: In the comics she's related to Adam Warlock. Is that the case, she's gold here just like he is. Is it the race Adam Warlock comes from, perhaps in the Marvel Universe?
Gunn: Totally possible. They're created in pods.
Q: The first movie had the Collector scene, a lot of Easter eggs, is there a scene in this movie where you can put in the Adam Warlock?
Gunn: Oh my God. Our Easter egg obsession is insane. And in fact I have the dumbest Easter egg. We have so many incredibly obscure Easter eggs in this movie that it's ridiculous. Yeah, we've been working hard on the Easter eggs. I feel this need to do it now since people have been pouring over stuff so much.
Q: Are people still hunting that last one?
Q: You know, Howard the Duck has an anniversary this year, so you think….
Gunn: What year is it? How many…
Q: I think it's thirty, maybe.
Gunn: Yeah, that makes sense. You know what, actually every year Howard the Duck has an anniversary.
Q: Bigger anniversary.
Q: President '76.
Gunn: Oh, that's right, president. I voted for him.
Q: We've heard the relationship between Rocket and Groot has flipped now where Rocket's the protector.
Gunn: Yes, Rocket is the protector. Yeah, that's part of the story and the story being about families. And it's about Rocket really trying to… As I've said many times before, I relate to Rocket more than any of the other characters, and this is really about Rocket coming to terms with accepting his place within a group of people, which probably seemed like a good idea for two seconds when they were getting along and saving a planet. And now he's just not very comfortable with the idea of being a part of this group, which come to think of it, is probably what I'm like with everything in making this movie.
Q: Can you talk about the Infinity Stone, and the impact that it had on Peter and possibly the other members of the team.
Gunn: You mean like how it's affected them in any way?
Q: Kevin was telling us that the fact that…
Gunn: When you guys said Kevin telling us I'm like "oh, was Kevin really telling you, or are you tricking me?" Because I'll tell you everything.
Q: He said that Star-Lord's mythology has expanded because he was able to hold it.
Gunn: Yes, we say that at the end of the movie. There's a question as to why Star-Lord was able to hold the infinity stone and not be completely and immediately destroyed. And we learn a little bit more about why that's the case in this movie.
Q: You said the reveal of his father isn't the biggest reveal, necessarily, in the movie, but how big of an impact does his origin play?
Gunn: It's incredibly important. Where Peter comes from, and who he is, and his lineage, and his straight-up relationship to his father, and his surrogate father, which is Yondu, all of that stuff is incredibly important.
Q: Is there a world where, potentially, Peter can have superpowers, or?
Gunn: I don't know about superpowers, but it's about him seeing what his heritage is, and where does he come from. And I think that thing in all of us, where we want to know where we come from, and who we are. He's an adopted kid, and I come from a family with a lot of adopted kids in my extended family. There's a lot of adopted kids in my family. And in way he has a lot of that in him.
Q: One of the things that I loved, and I think many people loved, about the first film was how weird and crazy it was for a Hollywood movie, and how it pushed the sci-fi angle. Does this push it even further?
Gunn: Times 10. I was scared last time, and this time I'm not really scared because I know that people want to go see the movie, and they probably will go see the movie, but in terms of this is truly my movie from start to finish and there have been absolutely no restrictions placed on me in terms of that's too far, that's too artistic, or that's too unique, that's too dramatic, that's too comedic. None of that stuff has ever come up. We're really, really pushing it.
Q: I've heard this from a couple of the filmmakers in Marvel that it seems like phase three things have gotten a lot looser, more artistically inclined. Is that your experience?
Gunn: Yeah. I think that's been true because a lot of different reasons, but I think for me personally, they let me do my movie the first time around and it was a huge hit and much bigger than they expected it to be. So that gives them the faith in me that I know what I'm doing, and they'll let me take it another step further. And I went into Kevin and Lou with an outlandish premise, and I said I want to do this movie. And they were like "oh f*ck, I don't know." They didn't say that to me actually, they were saying "oh that's great, that's great." Then I said, "okay good, I'm gonna go write the treatment," and they're like "okay." Then I wrote the treatment and Kevin called me up and he was just ecstatic and he loved the treatment. He loved the story. It pushes things. I know, people have had different things to say about Marvel, about how creative free or not free they are, but for me the rule has always just been stay as good as I can possibly be, and stay one step ahead of the curve, and stay unique, and stay myself. And they seem to like that. Whether or not they would like that with another filmmaker, I don't know. I really don't, and no I do, and of course not. Not everybody likes everybody else's aesthetic, but luckily with me whatever is strange about me to them has always been nice. So, I've been really, really lucky in that respect. Really incredibly fortunate in that respect.
Q: You said writing Thanos wasn't the most fun part of the first Guardians movie for you, and based on what Kevin told us, this movie's a lot more standalone in terms of interconnectedness. Are you looking forward to the day when you can draw the Guardians into the other pre-established parts of the MCU, or do you want to keep them in your own private corner?
Gunn: Honest to God for me, I've never been a guy to stack projects. A lot of these other guys they like to do this and then line up what they're doing next, and line up what they're doing next. I just can't do it. It makes me miserable, and by the time I get to that other project it's usually not what I want to do. So, I'm doing Guardians Volume Two and then after that am I going to do Guardians Three, am I going to do something else with Marvel, I really, really don't know. We've talk about it. We talk about it all the time. Is it what I want to do, I don't know. I honest to God don't know. And think about it.
Q: Can you talk about the decision to make the movie take place a couple months later as opposed to a couple years, because usually the movies take place in real time, and this is going to be three years and only going to be a couple months…
Gunn: Right. Why to do that?
Q: Yeah.
Gunn: I think because they're just such fragile egos, and they're so combustible that this is really the time. I think they'd have problems with each other pretty instantly. And so I just felt like it was more… Again, you ask me why I do these things, I don't know why. Seemed funny when I was writing it. It's what came up, and I thought about it being later and I think a lot of it was the Groot thing as well. When I first started thinking about it, when I was jotting down ideas, I thought Groot was maybe going to be an adult. And I thought, "God, what if I just make Groot a baby for the whole movie. Like he's a baby." And I think that just felt right. So a lot of it had to do with that.
Q: We've heard thought the grapevine that we might get to see a Tango and Cash reunion in this movie. Kevin told us that.
Gunn: I know John. There's so many things that you guys have heard.
Q: What's it like going from being a fan of Kurt Russell to directing him?
Gunn: It's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy. Especially, Escape From New York, to me is like one of those bible movies as a kid. It's like one of the core experience films. So working with Snake Plisskin has been quite an experience. But he's great. I've worked with a few actors who I've admired a lot. Benicio was like that. Glenn Close was like that. Kevin Bacon was like that. Those are people who I really admired as actors, and it wasn't like coming into work with somebody who was more of a contemporary. It was somebody who was famous and successful long before I was. Not so Benicio, but he was pretty young when he became successful. And working with Kurt, he's been the most down to Earth. And maybe it's also because I'm more confident than I use to be, but I think he's been down to Earth. And he's funny as s**t, and we laugh hard. And he's filthy.
Q: Is Wesley going to be back in this movie?
Gunn: He might. He might, we'll have to see. My dog, he loves to appear in movies.
Q: I mean, he and Baby Groot would…
Gunn: I don't think he could handle the CGI. Working beside the CGI character.
Q: You mentioned Glenn Close, they said before it's not 100 percent sure that she'll be back, but they were talking to…
Gunn: Who said that?
Q: I don't want to blame everything on Kevin, but it was sort of a, we don't really know if she's…
Gunn: Yeah, we're going to shoot with Glenn Close.
Q: Can you add any context to the scene we watched before. Them going on to the ship, Kurt Russell's ship. [NOTE – The press watched a scene being filmed where Gamora, Peter, and Drax enter Russell's spaceship with Mantis and Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" played]
Gunn: Yeah, that's it. They're taking a trip on Kurt Russell's spaceship. His freaky, creepy, '60 pop-art spaceship. At the beginning.
Q: But Quill looks unsure, something…
Gunn: Quill does?
Gunn: Yeah, I think they're all a little unsure.
Q: Are they first meeting each other?
Gunn: It's not too long after they meet each other. It's not too long.
Q: In the first treatment you mentioned there's a character that got cut, wasn't really necessary. Will that other Guardian eventurally be in the future?
Gunn: Yeah. Yeah for sure, I love the character actually. I loved everything about the character, I just didn't have room for him.
Q: Was it a classic Guardian?
Gunn: I don't know what you think is a classic Guardian. You mean Yondu, Starhawk classic Guardians? No.
Q: So, you can't tell us a lot, but seeing what his ship looks like and the weird loungey design he's got going on, what can you tell us about the character formerly known as J'Son?
Q: Really by the time we write this the trailer's going to be out and it's…
Q: We signed non-disclosures.
Gunn: I know. I know. I know. I know, I know you guys.
Q: Like his characteristics. Like what kind of guy is he?
Gunn: He's a lot like Kurt Russell. And he really is a lot like Kurt Russell. So, he's a very interesting guy. And I think he's a very thoughtful guy. And I think he's a very gregarious guy. And I think we get to see Kurt Russell in his full glory expressing himself.
Q: Is there any name value attached to that role that is part of why you're nervous about revealing who he is? You mentioned that there wasn't so much that with Mantis, because there's different depictions. So I'm curious with this person.
Gunn: You guys.
Q: We care.
Gunn: You care. You do care that's nice, that's nice. So, that's good. That's not what's at the front of my mind. Really, at the front of my mind is just creating all of them as the fullest on-screen personalities as I possibly can. And being as honest and as true as I honestly can. And having it being something relevant to our own emotions and our own world today.
Q: I didn't know if that was part of why you were being so secretive about it, is because you didn't want if people found out the name of this person have that idea be something different than what you were putting on the screen.
Gunn: Maybe.
Q: In addition to Kurt's character, can you talk about Mantis and what dynamic she adds to the group?
Gunn: Well, I think Mantis is as odd and strange as Pom is. And I think she is an incredibly unique character. And I think she's funny as s**t. And she's really funny. And she's also a little creepy. And she's great. She really is great. I remember when we were auditioning Star-Lord, you're asking for this straight, white, dude and we screen tested 25 guys and it was really hard finding somebody great, because, honestly, a lot of the really great guys in that age categories become movie stars. And to be auditioning Asian actresses was awesome. Truly, we screen tested four actresses who all four of them were totally incredible. It's just Pom happened to fit the role the best, but it was a really amazing experience. And honestly, truly, an example of there's a lot of actors out there who don't get the opportunities of these lead roles that a regular white dude does.
Q: Besides an obvious working relationship how would you describe the relationship between Mantis and Kurt's character? In the film. I mean, she's his…
Gunn: She works for him basically. That's it. I think it's very interesting to watch the relationship between Mantis and the other characters. Because like them, she's an outcast. I think the relationship between her and Drax is very interesting because they're both complete oddballs.
Q: What about her relationship with Peter, and their dynamic?
Gunn: It's more of a relationship to the group as a whole, but I think she relates a little bit more to Gamora and Drax than she does to Peter.
Q: What's different about your villains this time around? What's the dynamic?
Gunn: I think the main thing that was different, and this is really important to me, was to be able to make the story one where the personal story of the Guardians and the villain agenda, plot, was all about one thing. And that was important to me. It wasn't like "oh, here's our characters on journey with each other while they're fighting this big bad that's doing whatever he or she is doing, and just that's it." Which honestly, the first movie, if there was one thing that I- It's fine, but it is, kind of, two separate stories. There's Ronin taking over this planet and murdering the universe, and then there's these guys who through that journey get to know each other and come together. In this movie all of those things are a little bit more interwoven. It really is all one story. And that is, to me, a lot more satisfying way to tell a story.
Q: When you were coming up for the treatment for this whole thing, or the pitch, it seems like this is about family. The core theme of this whole thing. At least from what we can tell. Do you come up with that theme before you start writing this, or does that theme come out and you work the villains? How does that happen?
Gunn: It's a step-by-step thing. Probably the first thing was the larger science fiction concept. The science fiction concept. The movie's more science fiction, the first one was. It's still a space fantasy. They still have jet-packs. Gamora has a sword and s**t they would never have in space, but it's more of a science fiction concept behind it. So I think that's what came first and then the theme started its way into that. That would, sort of, push me forward in another direction. Then maybe I'd have a character moment that would push me forward in another direction. Then an ending that pulls. So it really is going step by step in terms of what affects me the most.
Q: One of the things that I thought was really interesting about the reception of the first film was that people with autism really embraced Drax. Like in a big way. Did that impact you, writing the character this time?
Gunn: It really did. Not only Drax, but the characters in general. Groot. And I think outsiders as a whole reacted to the Guardians, which is what … Listen, that's what I am. That's what I feel like. But it's being able to tell those stories for those people is what really the only reason I give a sh*t about any of this, frankly. And the only reason I would ever put myself through this is to be able to bring people together, and make people feel like maybe they belong a little bit more than they would feel before they saw the movie.
Q: Zoe was saying how lucky she and Karen feel to have sisters in the movie, and also when we were talking about Pom she was like, "I didn't want Mantis to be sexualized, and a sexual character." So can you talk about those portrayals of women and having them really standalone and have their own storylines?
Gunn: For me it just strictly comes down to one thing, which is trying to make all the characters be equally characters. To have the equal amount of weaknesses and strengths, to have the equal amount of foibles. Do I think my writing as a whole has always done that? Yeah, completely. We have four primary female characters in this movie. Is that a cool thing? Yeah. And do I think that it's cool that we have Pom. One of the things is that Mantis is as weird and screwy as Rocket and Drax and Groot; who are all just nut-cases. Being able to have that dynamic, to me, is what's cool about having the female characters more than having the strong females, I guess.
Q: I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that you and Chris together created Star-Lord into this, almost… For kids, I have a twelve and eight-year old, and he's Han Solo to them. He's almost Indiana Jones. So, coming back to him a second time, tell me about some of the challenges of just figuring out what the next steps for him are, and how do you maintain. He's the leader of the team, but it doesn't seem like this is his story. It does seem like it the whole team's story.
Gunn: It is the whole team's story, but there's a big huge part of it that's his story too. When I was writing up the first movie I wrote the whole backstory of where Peter came from, who his father was, why did Yondu pick him up from the planet. I wrote all that stuff, and there was a part of me that thought about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, maybe there'll be a story in between the answers to that story. And I said "I don't know." How long am I going to be around for? I don't know, let's just go for that story. So, that's a big part of what this story is. Those other characters are now major characters in the movie; Nebula, Yondu, these characters that were tertiary characters in the first film.
Q: Does it hurt that Chris becomes a movie star, like a huge star, in between.
Gunn: It's Chris, so he's my buddy, so it doesn't hurt me. It helps the movie because he's a movie star. So it's great, but my and Chris' working relationship is incredibly close. But just honestly, just as friends it's a great thing to have on set that I didn't have last time. Last time I had Rooker and my brother and now I have Chris and Zoe especially. It's nice to have that aspect of it for me, because making a movie is a lonely endurance test.
Q: Does Rooker get jealous?
Q: King Rooker.
Gunn: Yeah, he might get a little jealous.
Q: Outside at the very opening of the movie we saw one image of… Could you talk about the set pieces, we haven't really heard much about the action in the movie, how many scenes there are, how big it gets. When you think about the end of the first movie, that's a pretty huge set piece. So could you talk about how long…
Gunn: I really set out to write a more intimate, personal story and I think it is, and then somehow in the midst of writing this more intimate, personal, emotional story the set pieces got five times as big. Like really. I feel great about it. Honestly, I've been focusing a lot on it because I think that I want this movie to be better in every aspect. And that includes that it's funnier. The emotion works on a deeper level, which is probably the most important to me frankly. And then the fact that the action is bigger and more exciting.
Q: We heard that sometimes the tags are written in in the script and sometimes they're brainstormed and thought of throughout the filming.
Gunn: You mean the tags, oh the tags at the end of the movie? Oh, they're all written. They're all in the script, yeah.
Q: So they bump into the Hulk then?
Gunn: You guys saw my last tag, right? I had two tags, one was a baby dancing Groot, and the other one is f*cking Howard the Duck. That's my tags. I wouldn't wait. I don't think the fate of the Marvel universe is gonna, don't wait for the director. Wait for stupid sh*t.
Q: When we saw the art work, a comment was made that one of the planets looked like a Yes album cover. Is that a conscious thing for you with the design of the ship and everything else, these trippy designs?
Gunn: There's a conscious return to pulp and getting a greater sense of getting pulp from all areas. But everything from '50s Amazing Stories covers to the '60s stuff that you can see in that ship, it's very '60s inspired, to a lot of almost Ralph Bakshi inspired, Yes album cover-inspired stuff.
Q: And jet-packs, we saw that.
Gunn: And we got some jet-packs. Yeah, we got some good jet-packs going on.
Q: I love the audacity of Star-Lord challenging Ronin to a dance off. In the final battle. And the fact that the first Guardians could do that, can you talk about continuing that legacy now?
Gunn: Again, I think there's a trap a lot of sequels fall in. Where they say "okay, we had that beat where there was a dance off, so what is our dance off in this movie? And we had that moment where they "We are Groot," so what our "We are Groot" moment?" And then I'm like "screw all of that, this is its own thing." Other people can go and try to figure out what the moments are in this movie. I don't want to do the same types of things. I think the only tradition is that we try to give the audience what's unexpected and what they don't think is coming next. And mostly just in terms of the story, the characters hopefully being something that's a little deeper than the first one movie.
Q: What character do you think will surprise audiences most coming out of this movie?
Gunn: Yondu? But Dave Bautista. Bautista's murdering, he's just murdering, murdering, murdering every scene.
Q: Literally?
Gunn: Yeah. He wouldn't want to hear me say it. The greatest thing was walking on to the first day of set and being back with these people and it was kind of like we just picked up where we left off except for one thing, that they had all gotten incredibly better. Zoe probably had the most experience starting off, but she got a lot better. Chris got way better. And Bautista exponentially got better from what he was in the first movie, and he's going to flip people out. And then Rooker is just like, it's the role of a lifetime. It really is, he's amazing. And then people don't know Pom. Thank you guys. Thank you. Thanks. Good luck, have fun.

Hundreds of Roxborough residents turned out to a Central Roxborough Civic Association meeting, the vast majority hoping to prevent a Wendy's fast-food restaurant from opening at Ridge & Roxborough Avenues, the site of the demolished historic Bunting House, reports NewsWorks. While developers Anthony and Frank Giovannone can build by right, they would need a variance for a drive-thru window, a feature that Wendy's corporate would likely deem pivotal to the success of the franchise. In order to thwart the Wendy's then, opponents would need to prove that the drive-thru would have an adverse effect on Central Roxborough—and that's unlikely say City officials.
The Daily News discusses dissension between City Council members and the Mayor's Office concerning the bills introduced yesterday that would increase regulations for demolition crews. While Mayor Nutter has been supportive of Council's efforts to prevent a replay of the disaster at 22nd & Market on June 5, his office worries that Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell's provision for constant on-site safety monitoring may be beyond the municipality's legal purview. Councilwoman Maria Quiñones-Sánchez, also worries that the regulations may be excessive, but for a different reason: she fears they would inhibit undocumented and minority contractors from securing demolition jobs.
Philadelphia Planeto says that two City planners have recently begun preliminary work on land use surveys for the Lower Northwest District plan. "These surveys help paint a picture of what exactly is on the ground, how physical conditions may have changed since the last time anyone thought holistically about the area, and where there are inconsistencies in zoning." A photo tour of some of Manayunk's more interesting nooks is included.

text:
A: The CES survey samples about 160,000 businesses and government agencies, representing about 410,000 work sites. This survey gauges non-farm payroll employment during the week that includes the 12th day of any given month. When compared with the prior month, estimates of job losses or gains are derived.
The CPS survey involves about 2,200 Census Bureau specialists fanning out to interview people in the household survey, which involves roughly 60,000 participating households who together make a representative sample of the U.S. population. These participants are asked questions about work activity and job search during the reference week. From this, the jobless rate and a host of specific employment information are compiled.
Q: Which measure is more accurate?
A: Because the CES survey is so large, it has a smaller margin of error when looking at employment changes over the month. Considering that public opinion polls sample 1,000 or 2,000 individuals to get a random sample, the BLS data on each survey is far more exhaustive than the political and media polling that forms public opinions.
Q: Is participation in the survey mandatory?
A: For the CPS, on which the unemployment rate is calculated, no. For the CES, it's voluntary in all but three states — North Carolina, Washington and Oregon. In South Carolina, it's mandatory for companies with 20 or more employees. California recently stopped making participation mandatory.
Q: How is information collected from employers?
A: As recently as two decades ago, almost all of it came by mail. Now much of it comes through electronic-data interchange, with businesses automatically sending an electronic file from their payroll system. About 23 percent of information comes via Internet filing and another 17 percent arrives from a computer-assisted telephone interview involving a real person calling the company.
Q: Isn't the unemployment rate derived from unemployment insurance?
A: No. "There is a persistent misconception about that," said Jim Borbely, an economist in BLS's Division of Labor Force Statistics.
Unemployment benefits don't factor into the monthly calculation of the unemployment rate. A separate agency in the Department of Labor reports unemployment insurance claims data, but the claims data don't take into account all of the people who are unemployed. These claims are paid by states, and since benefits eventually run out, those who are still unemployed after benefits run out wouldn't be counted if unemployment checks were the only gauge of joblessness.
Q: Once the data is collected, what happens to it?
A: The BLS offices, located near the U.S. Capitol, go into a lockdown mode during the final week of the month ahead of the release of jobs report the first Friday of every month. Access is restricted as experts crunch the numbers that have come in from establishments and households across the nation.
Q: Who gets to see this data first, and when?
A: There are numerous ways someone could benefit from early release of this information, so there are tough rules on who gets to know what and when.
The Wednesday before each month's release, the Federal Reserve gets information about industrial employment and hours worked in the mining, manufacturing and utilities. The White House Council of Economic Advisers gets the information Thursday afternoon. The secretaries of Labor and Commerce get the information half an hour ahead of the release Friday. Everyone who gets an early peek at the numbers is prohibited from discussing it until one hour after the release.
Q: Do the surveys get updated?
A: From time to time, what's included in the monthly summary gets updated. One example begins this month, when the CPS data will begin collecting more detail about the duration of unemployment, or how long people remain jobless. To date, the duration has been capped at 99 weeks or more. Now it will be capped at five years or more.
Q: Why does that matter?
A: This additional detail should provide greater information about those unemployed for extremely long periods of time. It'll provide a better estimate of the average duration of unemployment.
"Our measure of average duration may increase as a result of this change" said Karen Kosanovich, a labor economist in the Division of Labor Force Statistics.

Enzo Ishall starts a new business
ZIMDANCEHALL chanter Enzo Ishall (pictured) has ventured into dishwasher production in a bid to expand his brand and hedge against the low profitability of the local music industry.
The Kanjiva hitmaker told NewsDay Life & Style that the music industry was not profitable, hence his decision to launch a side business.
"Music is not paying enough in Zimbabwe, so I have decided to venture into the dishwasher business, a move which is meant to provide me with extra income. I am looking forward to selling my brand through this initiative and I will be using Ishall as my brand name," he said.
Ad by Valueimpression
Enzo Ishall said it was important for artistes to have other businesses rather than rely on live shows.
"The share will be too little, so we want to do it like famous American musicians such as Jay Z. These guys are making more money from their businesses also. So an outside hustle will help an artiste sustain his or her career and bring in extra income," he said.
He said they have 2 000 units of the dishwashing liquid in store, but they are aiming for 100 000 in future.
"Currently we are only doing it on a small-scale basis and we are making at least 2 000 units and we are eyeing about 100 000 in future because at the moment we are operating with few resources and we are also looking forward to making multi-purpose detergents and degreaser. I am now a formal trader and have registered my business and I do all tax clearance procedures," he said.
Meanwhile, the musician said he was learning new things under Tinmak Productions, which he said had opened doors for him especially in professional training to manage his career.
Enzo Ishall was billed to embark on an Asian tour that included China, but it was cancelled following the coronavirus outbreak.

Game Rant
- The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 - Faith
The first episode, "Faith" plants many seeds that we expect to see return in later installments, but so far, the new episodic series is off to an impressive start. Offering an experience that new Telltale fans are sure to eat up, an adaptation of "Fables" that the comic's fans will approve of, and a story sure to scratch the itch of mystery fans, The Wolf Among Us has already put The Walking Dead in good company.
- Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
'Refreshing' could be applied to several aspects of the game's design, with performances and an attention to detail that place it among – if not ahead – of the franchise's best. And with no discernible shortcomings when placed next to its American-Revolution-predecessor, Black Flag is the step into next-gen that many fans have been waiting for.
- Forza Motorsport 5
Turn 10 may not have crafted the biggest, boldest, and most definitive Forza experience with Forza 5, but they have delivered one of the Xbox One's best titles so far. Not to mention a breath of fresh air for the franchise's devoted fan base, and a promising step forward for the series as whole.
- Need for Speed: Rivals
The online experiences may be underwhelming or downright frustrating for some, but that's not enough to overshadow the strong precedent Ghost Games has set for the next generation of online racers.
- Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Freedom Cry
In the end, Ubisoft used an established combat and traversal system to tell a story set in an explosive and ugly period in history. And by letting the gameplay do the talking, it largely succeeds.
- The Wolf Among Us: Episode 2 - Smoke and Mirrors
Telltale has kept up its quality of writing, atmosphere and mystery, beginning to tie together story threads while heightening anticipation even further. However, there's no question that the relatively slower, methodical pace of this episode will leave less of an impact on some players. Those who favor a slow burn will still welcome the experience, but if Telltale hadn't made audiences wait four months to play this episode, they would have had a much easier time keeping both groups happy.
- South Park: The Stick of Truth
South Park: The Stick of Truth defies the odds simply by doing the brand justice, but also sets a standard that future South Park games (or DLC) can aspire to. It's not perfect, but it is the game South Park fans have waited for, beyond a doubt.
- Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition
As it stands, Resident Evil 4 is as strong an experience as it was in 2005, no matter how pretty it looks. But as the "ultimate edition" of the game, this port stumbles where it doesn't have to, and invites criticism instead of silencing it once and for all. A shame, but for those who never played through the title, or those thinking of strolling (or sprinting) down memory lane, this one is a no-brainer.
- Kinect Sports Rivals
If you're looking for a Kinect title for the entire family, or one that merely shows the benefits of next-gen hardware hold promise for motion controlled gaming, then Kinect Sports Rivals won't disappoint. If you're hoping for a sports simulator that succeeds at every turn, well… you've likely got a lot more waiting to do.
- The Wolf Among Us: Episode 3 - A Crooked Mile
The mystery is what drives The Wolf Among Us, with the many colorful characters, suspects, and witnesses encountered along the way heightening the overall experience and imbuing it with undeniable style. But with a two-month layoff, the connections to Episode 2 will seem more tenuous than the storytellers would likely wish. So whether that means players should hold off to play the game through in one extended setting, or simply replay past chapters and refresh their memory, it shows just how distinct The Wolf Among Us is from its zombie colleague.

Home News First picture of children killed in Stafford house fire
First picture of children killed in Stafford house fire
The four kids who were killed when a fire tore through their family home as they dozed in the early morning times of at the beginning of today have been imagined out of the blue.
The fire desolated the house in Stafford in the early hours of at the beginning of today, killing three young men and a young lady, named locally as Riley, 8, Keegan, 6, and Olly, 3, and four-year-old young lady Tilly.
Natalie Unitt, 24, and her partner Chris Moulton, 28, and their two-year-old son, Jack, were saved and taken to hospital, where they are expected to recover from the smoke inhalation and burns they suffered.
Tearful neighbours and family are mourning the kids who have been described as 'cute as buttons'. Mourners have laid teddy bears and flowers near the scene of the devastating fire this morning. Some of the tributes are believed to be from family.
A hand-written note attached to a cuddly toy read:
RIP Babes xx life is so so cruel. All our thoughts are with the family at this very sad time.
One note read:
Will be dearly missed, love Uncle Dave and Auntie Lou Lou.
Another added:
To my lovely grandkids I will always miss you. Love you always xxx
Natalie Unitt's former school friend, Sophie Flood, said the children were 'her world' and she didn't know how Natalie would cope without them
Ms Flood, 26, told MailOnline:
Natalie was bullied at school. All she ever wanted in life was to be a mum and she lived for those kids. They were her whole world. Now she's lost four of her babies she'll be totally devastated. I don't know how she'll cope without them.
Chief Inspector John Owen, of Staffordshire Police, described the incident at 2.40am on Tuesday as 'absolutely heartbreaking'.
Riley, 8.
A nearby resident described how a sheet of flames engulfed an upstairs window at the semi-detached property on Sycamore Lane in the Highfields area of Stafford.
The witness said:
We heard a bang and looked out of the back window upstairs. At the start it was just a sheet of fire coming out of the bedroom window. It seemed to take ages for the fire brigade to arrive – it seemed like forever.
The neighbours came out and drove their car out of the back garden and there were lots of fire engines and police.
Keegan, 6.
Neighbour Bryan Pickering, who lives around 40 yards from the scene of the fire, was among those who contacted the emergency services after spotting the blaze.
We were straight on to 999. The flames were coming out that bad, there was nothing you could have done – even with a ladder.
Another resident, who was also reluctant to give her name, said she had not realised that anyone had died in the blaze until she heard a news broadcast confirming that four children had died.
Tilly, 4.
The woman said:
The room at the back was completely full of flames.
We just stood there with our hands over our mouths wondering what was going to happen next.
A man and a woman got into an ambulance. They were in blankets and she had the little one in her arms. 'I'd assumed they had all got out. It's terribly sad, almost beyond belief.
Fire crews remain at the scene combing for clues as to what triggered the blaze.

When a Network Management Card powers off and back on again and it detects a new UPS serial number, it will clear the data logs saved on the card. The NMC sees the serial number of the SYMIM5 as the UPS serial number, so changing both intelligence modules can result in an unwanted clearing of the data logs.
The Symmetra is placed in Maintenance Bypass. Both SYMIM5 modules are removed (causing the NMC to power down), and 2 new modules are installed in their place. The NMC sees both new SYMIM5 serial numbers when it boots back up, causing the data logs to be cleared.
The Symmetra is placed in Maintenance Bypass. The bottom SYMIM5 is removed and replaced. The top SYMIM5 is removed and replaced. The NMC will stay online during the entire replacement procedure (due to always having at least one SYMIM5 installed in the system), and will not immediately clear the data logs. If the NMC is powered down for any reason, when it comes back online it will see the new UPS serial numbers and the logs will be cleared at that point.

Can you tell us how much this will cost and how long it would take, please? If this goes well, we could eventually do all the future scraping with you guys.
Well thanks for your time. Depending on what we can come up with we might need a reliable scraping provider, so any feedback is appreciated!
