James Gunn is listening, Steven Tyler.
Days after the Aerosmith frontman expressed an interest in a role in a potential “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2” sequel, director Gunn has responded- and he’d be totally cool with it.
“Yes, I did hear that Steven Tyler wants to be in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,'” the director says during a recent Facebook Q&A via The Wrap. “He gave ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ a shout-out the other day in an interview. He said, ‘James Gunn are you listening?’ The answer is: Steven, yes I am listening.”

It wouldn’t be the first time Gunn has worked with a member of the Tyler family: he directed Liv Tyler in 2010’s comic book crime comedy “Super”.
“I’m a big fan of Steven Tyler‘s. I had the pleasure of directing his daughter Liv in a movie in which she was fantastic, and I met him for a few seconds at a screening of that movie. He’s a cool guy. And of course I would love to work with Steven Tyler sometime,” Gunn says.
While Gunn currently has no plans to make “Guardians Of The Galaxy” a trilogy, he says he’d love for Tyler to be a part of it – if it happens.
“If I did ‘Vol. 3,’ sure. I love [Steven Tyler]. Love his work and he’s a very warm guy.”
Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, and the rest of the “Guardians” cast will be back in action when “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2” hits screens on May 5, 2017.
