'Guardians of the Galaxy' Director James Gunn Passes the Marvel Baton to 'Ant-Man' Director Peyton Reed

Today, director James Gunn announced that he has completed the final touches on his Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy!

Well, I’m officially wrapped on Guardians of the Galaxy and on my way to the airport to fly to Singapore. Best experience of my life.

Director Peyton Reed of Marvel's upcoming Ant-Man then went onto congratulate Gunn on this monster project. And in a heartfelt thank-you he passed the metaphorical "Marvel Baton" onto Reed for when Reed starts filming Ant-Man in the next few months.

@MrPeytonReed Take this baton, my friend! :)

I guess once Peyton Reed is done with Ant-Man it's his turn to pass the baton onto Scott Derrikson when he starts production on Doctor Strange.
