James Gunn Revealed Why Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Comic-Con Teaser Won't Be Online Soon

There was lots of news at San Diego Comic-Con for Guardians of the Galaxy fans. Kurt Russell, for instance, was officially revealed to be playing both Ego the Living Planet and Star-Lord’s father in the upcoming sequel. Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 writer/director James Gunn took the social media to shed a little light on why that footage is not being put online: “The footage we released at Comic-Con will eventually be seen by the public, but in a more finished form,” Gunn said. “It’s very early days. We’ve only been stopped shooting for a month,” he added.

"I've gotten a lot of questions about why am I, why is Marvel not releasing the footage we showed at Comic-Con. Of course I want to share with you guys everything. It's important to me to be able to do that. But here's the thing, the footage we released at Comic-Con will eventually be seen by the public but in a more finished form," he explained.

"It's very early days, we've only been stopped shooting for a month. We presented an entire, huge scene with Yondu, and Rocket, and Baby Groot. And then we also presented some special glimpse just for San Diego Comic-Con and a teaser trailer of sorts. And the visual effects are not finished, I am a perfectionist for people who have followed me know that everything needs to be exactly as I want it to be, to be seen in a film, so that it stands up to repeated viewings. And the truth is, this Comic-Con footage...it's not something I, nor Marvel, are comfortable with being out there and standing up to repeated viewings because the visual effects just aren't finished. And if I do something I want to do it 100% correctly," he added.

"Being able to show people something was great. And you know it's been on my mind a lot because I've been trying to prep for this Comic-Con thing for a while," he told fans. And when asked again in his Facebook stream about releasing the footage added, "I'm very sorry for that but that's just something...it's just the way it has to be right now." Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 opens on May 5, 2017.
