Director James Gunn is busy developing "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" for Marvel studios right now, but thanks to the financial and critical success of the first one, Gun will have more creative freedom than any other Marvel director to date. He will use that to completely deviate from the comic books and bring to life an even more original idea.

While this sounds great to Marvel movie fans, the studio believes it could be a "risk" though they did like the concept Gunn pitched them.

"It's different than what's in the comic books," Gunn said. "Peter Quill's father is somebody different in the comics. So then when the movie came out, we got green-lit on the sequel right away. I went in and I sat down with those guys and I'm like, 'Okay, here's what I think the sequel should be.' And they were like, 'Oh, whoa. That's risky, but okay.'"

Gunn sent in his film treatment and has a follow up meeting with the head honchos this week. The actual writing of the screenplay should begin in a few days.

"I turned in my treatment. I'm going in to meet about it Friday and we will start working on the screenplay next week," Gunn said yesterday. The script is "very, very far along" according to the director.

Despite the studio's skepticism, Gunn says that the "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" meeting was the "best experience he ever had with a pitch."

"Guardians of the Galaxy 2" is set to hit theatres on May 5, 2017.
