GuardiansOfTheGalaxy director jamesgunn breaks down why it doesn't matter that KevinBacon played a different character in X-Men

The fact that Kevin Bacon played a villain in X-Men: First Class had absolutely no bearing on his role as Kevin Bacon in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, according to writer/director James Gunn. Fans have long mused -- mostly as a joke -- about whether the Kevin Bacon jokes in Guardians of the Galaxy would"break reality" in some way if Bacon's Sebastian Shaw were ever to turn up again in the Marvel multiverse. The answer, according to Gunn, is no.

"One of the things that Kevin Feige has really impressed upon me in running the MCU is that what matters most is the project right in front of him," Gunn said."You may have a plan about how you want to do something down the road, but if it screws up the thing right in front of you, then it doesn't work. The best thing for the holiday special is Kevin Bacon, and if that means that Kevin Bacon is a different character later on in the MCU, it doesn't really matter.

In the same interview, Gunn discussed the film's structure, and the fact that he made a conscious decision not to have a villain -- a first for Marvel.
