Actor Chris Pratt has said that he is "thrilled" to see James Gunn back as the director of third Guardians of the Galaxy film. The filmmaker, who helmed the first two installments of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise, was fired by Marvel Studios' parent company Disney last year after his old, controversial tweets resurfaced on social media.

The studio last month went back on its decision and reinstated Gunn as the director of the third part of the franchise. On the sidelines of Avengers: Endgame premiere, Pratt told Entertainment Weekly that Disney made the "right move" to reinstate Gunn.
