James Gunn “Not Sure” If He’ll Return For ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3’

During a Facebook Q&A, Gunn addressed his future, or lack thereof, with the Marvel Cinematic Universe:
(If you decide to watch the video at Facebook, the quote above comes around the 13:50 mark.)
Right now I really am just concerned with doing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. I’m not sure what I’m going to do after this. Marvel has talked to me about continuing on. I’m not sure if that’s what I want to do or if that’s not what I want to do. I really just want to make Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 the greatest possible movie that I can, and something that’s as honest and sincere and true as it can possibly be.
Gunn doesn’t actually come out and say Marvel’s asked him to return to direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. But it seems reasonable to assume that’s what he means by “continuing on,” especially given that he’s hinted at plans for a third film before. To be sure, there’s no need to panic just yet. As Gunn points out, he’s currently too busy with Vol. 2 to spend a lot of time mulling over Vol. 3. Moreover, Marvel hasn’t even officially announced a Vol. 3, probably because Vol. 2 won’t hit theaters for another year. In short, it’s not surprising that neither side has its post-Vol. 2 plans locked in stone at this point.
