Gunn was fired by Disney last July when a number of past tweets of his were made public once again. The tweets made light of rape and pedophilia. They weren’t exactly a secret as they had been brought into the public eye years before which brought about an apology from Gunn already.

After the public backlash over them resurfacing again, though, Disney ended up parting ways with Gunn. Now, Walt Disney Studios president Alan Horn has decided to reinstate Gunn after meeting with him several times regarding the situation and Gunn’s public apology.

Marvel and James Gunn’s representatives have confirmed that he is back with Disney/Marvel Studios and on GOTG 3, per Deadline. As awful as the tweets were, Gunn took full responsibility for them and apologized years ago as well as doing it again profusely last year.

During his hiatus from Marvel Studios, Gunn was hired to write and direct Suicide Squad 2 for Warner Bros./DC, and he will still be on that project. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is going to begin production after that work is done.
