Disney wants original Star Wars film rights back

Back in 2016, Disney wasn’t planning on launching their awesome new streaming service. So they thought it’d be a great idea to sell the original Star Wars TV rights to Turner Broadcasting, which also means they sold off their streaming rights too… So for the first few years of existence, we won’t be able to stream the first 6 star wars films. They won’t be able to buy it back until 2024 and Turner has no desire to give them back so soon either. Guess you can’t own it all House of Mouse.

In an interview Bautista claims he’s not defending the tweets but people change. So far Disney hasn’t mentioned a word if they’ll bring him back but most experts believe they won’t who these experts are… I dunno. We’ll find out more before Guardians 3 is supposed to hit theaters in 2020…

Which led to the news that Marvel WILL use his script for part 3

Turns out Marvel IS going to use it but if you’re expecting for Gunn to return, you’ll be sad or happy to know, depending on your take, they are not asking him to direct. Apparently he’s locked into some complicated negotiations but could still make a profit off of the script. And word around town is that Warner Brothers now wants to pick up James Gunn to direct a DC movie.
