The fate of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 has been up in the air since James Gunn was fired last year after some of his old tweets surfaced.

While he's now not involved in the film as director, fans were hoping that the script he had written would still be used. Thankfully, Chris Pratt has confirmed that to be the case.

Speaking with MTV News, the actor said the script was "off the chain" and "so good".

"I'm loyal to James, and I love him so much," Pratt said. "And we're gonna deliver the movie, we're gonna give the fans what they deserve.

"And I think it's in the nature of the Guardians of the Galaxy to come together and get the job. And that's what we'll do."

Co-star Dave Bautista has been an outspoken critic of how The Walt Disney Company handled the resurfacing of Gunn's old tweets, and said that he won't do the third Guardians film if Gunn's script isn't used.

Fans have wondered if Taika Waititi will helm Guardians 3 after he did another weird spacey Marvel movie that you might have heard of –Thor: Ragnarok – but he denied that he would do it because Gunn was so integral to the franchise.

Next up on the Marvel release schedule is Captain Marvel on March 8, with Avengers: Endgame following on April 26.
