Ahead of the release of third and final installment of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Guardians of the Galaxy on May 5, the director of the film, James Gunn expresses his wishes to work with Indian actor Jr NTR.

The upcoming film marks the director’s final outing

When asked if he could introduce an Indian actor into the universe of the Guardians, and who would it be, he replied that he would love to work with the guy from RRR ‘with all the tigers coming out of the cage and everything’. Gunn also added that Jr NTR was ‘amazing’ and ‘cool’ in the film.

It is to be noted that earlier in the year, Jr NTR too had expressed his interest to join MCU.
