Even if the actors themselves were being interviewed it was more often than not right alongside Gunn.
Disney’s Marvel Studios is pulling the plug on Georgia as a production hub, and the fallout is already being felt across the state.

Disney’s Snow White remake was supposed to be a surefire hit. Instead, it became one of the studio’s most controversial misfires in years.
