James Gunn may have gone to the other side and taken over DC Studios, but his stint in blockbuster filmmaking began with Marvel. The director made the runaway hitGuardians of the Galaxy, which firmly established Gunn as a filmmaker with a unique vision, great ability to handle a lesser-known IP, and a killer taste in music.
Gunn’s last stint with the MCU was the 2023 filmGuardians of the Galaxy Vol.3. The film was all the more emotional than its predecessors due to its focus on Rocket’s backstory. The emotional ride was reportedly too much for WWE star LIV Morgan, who admitted to crying the entire time.

However, Gunn’s tried and tested formula of focusing on a gang of misfits who need to come together on a mission wasfirst explored in Marvel’sGuardians of the Galaxy. The Chris Pratt starrer was the first live-action iteration of the Marvel comics and was a surprise hit. It also received two more sequels, with the latestGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3releasing in 2023.
The film was known for the tragic backstory of Rocket, who is tortured in an experiment along with a couple of more animals. The film was an emotional ride that reportedly even moved WWE star Liv Morgan. The two-time World Champion tweeted about the film earlier this week.

Morgan has been admired by several fans and she now seems to have a fan in a fellow WWE star as well. Canadian wrestler Natalya recently specified her as a current favorite (viaYouTube),
Liv Morgan. I think she’s one of my favorite people right now to watch — guys and girls — because she literally took an opportunity that WWE gave her, they met her halfway, but she was ready, she stayed ready. I saw Liv spend her days off in the [Hart] Dungeon.
