It’s been a big year in James Gunn's life, and he’s capping it off by giving the Marvel Cinematic Universe the gift of Kevin Bacon. For real, Bacon’s an MCU regular now, the same as Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and Megan Thee Stallion.

“I will be disappointed if he doesn't become an Avenger. I've let everyone know that,” says Gunn, the writer/director who teams the “Footloose” star with his merry band of intergalactic misfits in “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” (streaming now on Disney+).

In a tinsel-tinged tale that doubles as a lead-up to “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” (in theaters May 5), Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) is bummed because Gamora (Zoe Saldaña) is missing. His teammates Drax (Dave Bautista) and Mantis (Pom Klementieff) remember that Peter loved Christmas when he was a kid on Earth – and Bacon is his all-time hero – so they hop in a spaceship and travel to LA to bring the actor back as a present for their sad buddy.

  1. I find most revealing how “Entertainment” media critics does not want to talk about one of the few redeeming items to come out of Marvel and Disney with Kevin Bacon and the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special…
    Could it be due to, not being WOKE?!
    I greatly enjoyed your work Kevin and the episode, and greatly despise the media being so obviously agenda tied.
