Thor: Ragnarok should have Guardians of the Galaxy kind of humor - that's what Chris Hemsworth commented few days back. You can assume from that the actor is really impressed with James Gunn's unexpected 2014 blockbuster. He is really very impressed with Guardians of the Galaxy! That's what becomes even clearer with his more recent statement!
While talking to MTV, Chris Hemsworth shared that he would love his character to take on the galaxy with Star Lord and friends! Here's what he has said:
"I’d love him to hang out with the Guardians crew. I love that film and there’s a great amount of fun to be had."
Well, Guardians of the Galaxy are a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but they seem detached from the rest of universe. Even though Thor is just like them - from outer space - chances are rare that the Norse God of Thunder would show up in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. And Thor has got Hulk in his third standalone flick, so they are unlikely meet there as well. If Thor and the Guardians get to meet someday that someday is not likely to be any day before the Avengers: Infinity War movies.
Director claims No One can Voice Groot Better than Vin Diesel!
Groot keeps uttering just THREE WORDS throughout the movie and for that they need Vin Diesel! Anyone can do that! If you think that way, you better know that James Gunn thinks your thinking is "˜BULLSH*T'! That's how he responded to a fan that made a similar comment in a recent Facebook live chat! According to the Guardians of the Galaxy director:
"I did the voice for Groot and we had other people do the voice for Groot. We had all sorts of people doing the voice for Groot, and Groot didn't come alive until Vin [Diesel] did the voice for Groot."
Claiming that Vin Diesel is "˜amazing' as Groot, the director added:
"I'll argue to the death with anyone that says he doesn't make a difference or it's a small role. It's huge what he does for us."
I AM GROOT! No I am not! Only Vin Diesel is Groot! Don't want be chewed out by James Gunn!
James Gunn Disappointed with Lack of Gamora Merchandise!
In the same Facebook live chat, the director was asked by a fan if representation of Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 merchandise could be bumped up. That's when Gunn said:
"I had a big conversation about this yesterday with one of my producer's at Marvel about trying to make sure, especially that Gamora is represented more in stuff and all the Guardians toys but especially all the clothing and bedsheets and all that stuff."
The director claimed it to be very important and that Marvel is often concerned about it. He added:
"It's frustrating and stuff and it bums me out."
