Gunn’s tweets were unearthed by right-wing commentators who often found themselves at the receiving end of Gunn’s anti-Donald Trump, left-leaning Twitter.
Chris Pratt, who stars as Peter Quill in the movies, quoted a passage from the Bible. “‘Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters. Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.’ JAMES 1:19,” he wrote.
“Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters. Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.”
Karen Gillan and Zoe Saldana, who play feuding sisters Nebula and Gamora in the Marvel films, both said that they needed time to process the situation, but loved ‘every’ member of the GotG family.
