Guardians of the Galaxy on Hold – The 3rd installment of the popular Marvel movie franchise has been put on hold.  The Hollywood Reporter claims the film is on hiatus as everyone scrambles to figure out how to move on in the wake of the James Gunn firing.  And doesn’t appear to be going well as apparently a portion of the crew (not cast members) have been dismissed so they may be able to obtain new work.  While the film is expected to still be made, as of now, the hectic nature of the development cannot be ignored.
