"Joss Whedon has said that James Gunn&amp;#039;s take on Guardians of the Galaxy is &amp;quot;very twisted&amp;quot;. The Avengers helmer has endorsed Marvel Studios&amp;#039; choice of the Super director for the film.   &amp;quot;James is what makes me think it will work,&amp;quot; Whedon told MTV News. &amp;quot;I myself was sort of like, &amp;#039;Well, I liked Rocket Raccoon as a kid, but I&amp;#039;m not sure how that plays [to a wider audience]&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;And then they said, &amp;#039;Well, we&amp;#039;re thinking about using James Gunn&amp;#039;. And I said, &amp;#039;Oh, then no, you&amp;#039;re fine&amp;#039;. He is so off the wall, and so crazy, but so smart, such a craftsman and he builds from his heart. He loves the raccoon. Needs the raccoon. &amp;quot;This is the guy who wrote The Specials. People don&amp;#039;t understand how influential that movie was about heroes, about taking heroes and making them mundane. And [he directed] Super.&amp;quot;  Whedon said that, while Gunn has &amp;quot;barely started&amp;quot; on the script, he has a strong grasp of the material. &amp;quot;He has a very twisted take on it, but it all comes from a real love for the material,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s going to be hard for the humans to keep up. I know he&amp;#039;s going to come from left field and I&amp;#039;m going to go, &amp;#039;What?&amp;#039; And then, &amp;#039;Of course, why didn&amp;#039;t I think of that?&amp;#039; And then I&amp;#039;m going to beat him!&amp;quot; Guardian of the Galaxy may spin out of the first Avengers film, with a role for Thanos, who appeared after the closing credits, expected for the Marvel Comics adaptation.
