A Callback to a Past Project
Like all directors before him, James Gunn’s first job in showbiz wasn’t directing a huge Marvel blockbuster. He had to start from the bottom, which included writing screenplays and directing low-budget films. One of his most famous projects came in 2006 when he landed the directing job for the 2006 sci-fi horror flick, Slither.
The movie was a box-office flop, but it certainly must have left a long-lasting impression on James. In fact, you can see the slugs from Slither in the first Guardians of the Galaxy when we get a good look at The Collector’s collection. Are the two movies from the same universe? Anything’s possible!
