Kurt Russell is coming out in support of James Gunn, who was fired from directing Guardians of the Galaxy’s third film over old tweets where he made fun of pedohilia and rape.

“It’s sad. But it’s a part of our fabric now, and I get it,” Kurt, who appeared as Ego in the second film, commented to Variety. “But I do think we’re getting a little too sensitive on maybe some of the wrong people.”

He continued, “You have to realize that when you are in that world as a comedian, a writer, whatever, you’re always stretching the boundaries and trying to find something, which led him to something that the world loves, which is Guardians of the Galaxy.”

The whole cast, in fact, came out in support of James.

Although I don’t support James Gunn’s inappropriate jokes from years ago, he is a good man. I’d personally love to see him reinstated as director of Volume 3. If you please, read the following statement- signed by our entire cast.
