Fired Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has been reinstated by Disney to direct the third film in the hit franchise.
The shock move comes after Disney fired Gunn in July last year after offensive tweets he wrote between 2008-2012 joking about rape, child abuse, and pedophilia resurfaced in the #MeToo movement.
The family-friendly studio publicly refused to be swayed, despite the Guardians cast - including Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana - signing a joint statement 'fully supporting' James that same month.
At the helm? Guardians Of The Galaxy's sacked director James Gunn has been rehired by Disney to helm the third film
Revealing the re-hire, Variety added that the move comes after a series of meetings between Gunn and Walt Disney Pictures boss Alan Horn.
Indeed according to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney never even met with other potential directors, instead returning to Gunn to secretly sign the new deal.
Along with directing, Gunn will be writing the screenplay for the project, now expected to be released in 2020.
Following his firing last year, Gunn was snapped up by Warner Bros to write and direct The Suicide Squad sequel, starring Idris Elba, out in 2021.
He will now juggle both projects.

'We fully support James': The family-friendly studio was not at all swayed when the Guardians cast signed a joint statement of support over social media on July 30
When Gunn was fired, he issued a statement apologizing for his controversial tweets.
'My words of nearly a decade ago were, at the time, totally failed and unfortunate efforts to be provocative,' he wrote.
'I have regretted them for many years since — not just because they were stupid, not at all funny, wildly insensitive, and certainly not provocative like I had hoped, but also because they don't reflect the person I am today or have been for some time.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
