This holiday season has been a difficult one for many of us. With COVID cases spiking across the nation, many made the smart decision to stay put and celebrate on their own. After all, as the Thanksgiving Day debacle proved, long-distance flights, cross-state travel and communal partying comes at the cost of putting elderly family members in the ground. But Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director James Gunn is thinking of you – and has posted a lovely message on Twitter:
I realize some of you out there are alone for the holidays, many due to the pandemic. You are not forgotten, and this will get better. My heart is with each of you. I hope for all of us this is as Merry of a Christmas as it can possibly be.

He went on to post a tweet on Christmas Day showing him and his partner Jennifer Holland relaxing in their PJs and custom The Suicide Squad hoodies that said “F#CK! It’s Peacemaker!” They look like an awesome bit of merch, with Gunn later confirming that producer Peter Safran had them made for the cast and crew as a Christmas gift.
Once Christmas is out of the way, Gunn has a very busy year ahead of him. Right now his primary focus is getting The Suicide Squad finished. Indications are that it’s coming together nicely as it managed to complete its shoot just before the COVID-19 lockdown hit and the sneak peek at the FanDome event over the summer indicated that it’s looking good. We also recently learned that it’ll premiere on HBO Max the same day as its theatrical release on August 6th, 2021 – which Gunn isn’t happy about.
Once that’s in the can it’s full steam ahead on two projects. First up is the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special that’ll air on Disney+ in 2022, then comes Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which isn’t expected to release until May 2023. So right now I’d advise James Gunn to make the most of his downtime, as Disney and Marvel Studios intend to make sure he has a very busy decade.
