Mark Hamill and James Gunn are neighbors and maybe friends now
As an adult, it can be difficult to make new friends. That difficulty likely only increases the more famous—and potentially isolated—you become. So imagine how difficult it must be for Mark Hamill to forge new friendships. Lucky for him, there’s someone like Guardians Of The Galaxy director James Gunn out there, who is not only willing to invite him over for a cup of coffee but also offer him a job.
This potentially franchise-altering friendship began on Twitter yesterday when a fan asked Gunn if he thought he could find a role for Mark Hamill in the forthcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy 3. “I think @HamillHimself lives around the corner from me in Malibu so he can just come over and we can talk about it over a cup of coffee,” Gunn replied, putting the ball firmly in Hamill’s court. Having recently wrapped up his work on the Star Wars franchise, Hamill wasn’t shy about his readiness for a new gig.
