James Gunn Wants Fans To Stop Asking About Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Trailer

In the beginning of July, when writer/director James Gunn first started teasing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 footage debuting at San Diego Comic Con, he warned everyone that if they weren't attending the Marvel panel at Hall H, it would be a while before any official footage would be released online.

Knowing that, most people have been content with being patient and have been smart enough to not pester Gunn about when the first Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 trailer will be released. However, since we live in a "ME" society and because Gunn makes himself so accessible, over-enthusiastic, egotistical and impatient fans have been hounding the filmmaker about its unannounced release date dozens of times on a daily basis. And now, it appears as though Gunn is reaching his breaking point on the subject.

"I appreciate and am grateful that so many of you want to see the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 trailer," Gunn posted on his official Facebook page. "I am fortunate that so many folks are interested in our film.

"However, the schedule for the trailers has been decided upon and no matter how many times you request on social media that they come out faster - which has lately been happening dozens of times a day - what is done is done.

"And, yes, usually this is just people being enthusiastic and begging for the trailer, or telling me how they're going to die if they don't get it, or simply asking when it's going to come out even though I can't answer. That's all fun and fair - again, I appreciate the interest. But when I post a photo of a much needed getaway to Palm Springs and someone comments "Why aren't you working on the goddamn Guardians trailer?" or I post a tribute to the passing of Gene Wilder and someone comments "Where the fuck is the trailer, asshole?" -- well it gets a little uncool.

"I don't know why I'm saying this. If you have the attention span to read all this you're probably not the jerk cursing at me about a trailer on social media. But I guess it makes me feel a little better.

"Hope you all have an amazing day."
