Shortly after his firing in July, Gunn apologised. Also, the "Guardians..." cast, including Saldana, Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista and others, expressed their support for him in an open letter, asking that he be reinstated as director.

Eight months later, he has been rehired. He tweeted earlier this month that he was "tremendously grateful" of those who stood by him, and said he was continuing to work on "being the best human being I can be".

Saldana is also proud of the way Disney has embraced representation. She has been thrilled with the success of Brie Larson's Captain Marvel.
