Hello readers, and welcome to another edition of Jumping the Gunn, in which we and the entire entertainment media take any random comments made on social media by filmmaker James Gunn, no matter how insignificant, and spin it into a clickbait article. Today's edition of this popular feature focuses on what can only possibly be construed as a direct attack on a rival superhero movie universe.

On Twitter yesterday, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director Gunn was asked whether GOTG2 will have a director's cut release:

GOTG2 hits theaters on May 5.
