Bradley Cooper won’t direct ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’

Bradley Cooper may have taken on a new role as director of the film A Star Is Born. However, the actor has revealed that there is no way he’ll be going to direct Guardians Of The Galaxy 3. Ever since he started to produce A Star Is Born, fans have been speculating as to whether or not he’ll take James Gunn’s places and direct the new Guardian’s Of The Galaxy installment. But the 43-year-old is adamant that this will never happen, as he didn’t write the script.

He said (via MovieWeb): ‘In directing it? I could never direct anything that I didn’t write. No, I could never direct anything that I didn’t write.’ The original director Gunn was removed from the role after tweets showing the star ‘joke’ about pedophilia resurfaced from ten years ago.

Since then the film has been put on hold indefinitely, with the crew being told to look for other work. Despite his tweets, fans and actors alike stuck up for the star and showed their full support in getting him back working on the film. Christ Pratt, who plays Star-Lord in the movie, admitted to wanting to see Gunn reinstated as director for the third film, and fellow actor Dave Bautista also threatened to quit the show if Gunn’s script wasn’t used.
