The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a massive place, with countless comic book characters occupying the big screen. But a few franchises stand out among the rest as fan favorites, especially James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy. The motley crew of heroes became household names thanks to Gunn’s original 2014 blockbuster, which was infused with the filmmaker’s music and sense of humor. Although it turns out that one Guardians joke was cut from the original movie, thanks to Disney and the powers that be.
Disney has a ton of massive properties under its ownership, including Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This includes Guardians of the Galaxy, which is perhaps the most director-driven property in the MCU. Although it turns out that James Gunn did have to relent one specific line in the original movie. He recently revealed what that exchange consisted of, saying:
(in movie) Quill: I come from a planet of outlaws, Billy the Kid, Bonnie & Clyde, John Stamos.
Drax: Sounds like a place that I would like to visit.
Quill: Cool.
(cut) Drax: And kill many people there.— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) June 29, 2020
