AceShowbiz - Is there a problem on the set of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2"? James Gunn has just taken to Instagram and Twitter to reveal that he got so mad during the production on the upcoming Marvel film that he hit his own head with a mic.

The helmer shared on Tuesday, March 22 a picture to show the mic that he used "to talk to the actors when they're far away" and the red mark that it left on his forehead. Turns out Gunn wasn't mad at any of the actors, but was "pissed" about "a shot that didn't go as planned."

Ugh. I got pissed today about a shot that didn't go as planned and slammed my on-set mic (the mic I use to talk to the actors when they're far away) into my forehead. I didn't know the windscreen had fallen off. OW.

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" has been filmed at Pinewood Studio. Gunn, who returns at the helm, has been actively updating his social media accounts with sneak peeks from the movie. Last week, he teased a baby Groot scene by posting a sketch that he drew for the said shot.

Recently I mentioned how I draw every single shot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 before we ever shoot a frame. I'll spread whole scenes over my office floor or all around the walls, sometimes hundreds of shots, and it will give me an idea of how the scene flows, what's smooth, what's jumbled, and even what works comedically. Over the entire film I draw thousands of these thumbnails. Many of them are messy and it's impossible for anyone other than me to tell what they are. Some of them get turned over to accomplished storyboard artists to flesh out. Some of them go directly to our pre-visualization team to turn into animated storyboards. And others just stay in their primitive state. Many of you asked to see these drawings so I thought I'd start posting thumbnails of whatever it was we shot that day on #GotGVol2. I'm not going to explain what the shot is - as I said, they're messy. But maybe you can match the thumbnail to the shot when the movie is released. So here's the first in the series of #WhatWeShotWednesday (that is, today). Can you guess what it might be?
