A fan asked director James Gunn if it was true that GotG2 was in reshoots. Gunn is always open with information, and he confirmed it's true, and explained why it's pretty much true for everyone:
Absolutely. I've picked up shots in every movie I've ever directed, as Marvel has in every movie they've ever made, as we go thru editing. https://t.co/NpU2z8Tt5W

A fan joked, "but the internet told me reshoots mean that a movies awful?!" Gunn replied:It's called additional shooting and it ALWAYS happens on big budget movies, unless the movie is 100% perfect, or people are lazy. https://t.co/lmg42eUDSH

Gunn was asked how far in advance they schedule reshoots. Here's his reply:Sometimes they are if they're reshooting huge sections of a movie that's not working and not puttying the cracks of a movie already great. https://t.co/xHFl89MtT8

Another commenter added, "sometimes based on the direction of an edit a few things need to be added to smooth the flow." Gunn replied:We schedule all the actors for reshoots before we ever shoot the movie. https://t.co/HHqTKyG4yK

My biggest problem is I keep thinking of more funny stuff for Drax to say. https://t.co/uk3mNyCfjn

Just add more Baby Groot! "Reshoots" get a bad rap, but they are not indicative of much. On a scale of 1 to 10 our worry for "Guardians" is at -5. They could seriously just show two hours of dancing Baby Groot and we'd pay to see it twice, but the rest of the movie sounds great too.
