The James Gunn situation is still being sorted out by Disney and Marvel, and the whole situation saddens one of the actors.
Comicbook.com says actress Glenn Close, who leads the Nova Corps in the original Guardians of the Galaxy, said in a recent interview, “I felt sad. I felt sad certainly for James and I felt sad for the whole situation."
Guardians of the Galaxy was Close's first superhero film, and she recalls it being quite a joyous experience.
