The star shared an open letter, co-signed by his co-stars Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista, Sean Gunn, Michael Rooker and Pom Klementieff about the fired filmmaker.
“Although I don’t support James Gunn’s inappropriate jokes from years ago, he is a good man,” Pratt wrote in an Instagram post.
In the open letter, the cast referenced a Change.org petition asking for Gunn to be reinstated. So far it has attracted more than 330,000 signatures.
Disney fired Gunn on earlier this month, after offensive tweets resurfaced in which he joked about controversial topics such as pedophilia and rape.

“We fully support James Gunn. We were all shocked by his abrupt firing last week and have intentionally waited these ten days to respond in order to think, pray, listen, and discuss”, the letter began.
Gunn’s offensive tweets were resurfaced by conservative personalities, and the Guardians stars also referenced political division in the United States.
