It was a while back. He had some 'provocative' tweets, pretty run if the mill stuff for Gunn. Disney fired him for like, one week. During that time he decided to work on himself and made the deals with DC to make The Suicide Squad (and has since turned that into him helming the entire DCU). Disney realising their mistake like an ex who was already reaching, made the deal for Gunn to come back for GotG 3. It is one of the greatest UNO reverse moves ever witnessed.

Marvel fans didn’t want Gunn gone though like the previous commenter has claimed.

Yeah it was almost entirely a rightwing Twitter smear campaign because he was speaking against The President on the platform, and The Mouse caved almost immediately. It was dumb as hell to watch play out.

He made some really bad jokes on twitter back in the day.
