One of the great joys of my life was standing on stage at the premiere of GotG Vol 2 & having my Mom & Dad stand up as I dedicated the films to them. Vol 1 is about a mother’s love for her son. Vol 2 is about a father’s. With my Dad’s passing 3 weeks ago, it means even more. https://t.co/TiMBai6Q6R — James Gunn (@JamesGunn) September 21, 2019 Also read: 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' is on schedule despite COVID-19, says director James Gunn Also read: Guardians of the Galaxy 3 & Suicide Squad 2 to be delayed by Covid?
