You can accomplish so much on Twitter. Take this fan for example. All he wants in life is for Mark Hamill to appear in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Why does he want this? Who knows. But it sounds like a cool idea on paper. So, this fan pitched his idea to James Gunn, the writer and producer of the series.
@JamesGunn, could you do me a huge favour and find a role for @HamillHimself in Guardians 3? The awesomeness of it might end me, but I’m willing to risk it. Thanks 🙂👍

Nothing wrong with shooting your shot. The worst thing that could happen is Gunn, who probably gets thousands of replies a day, ignores the tweet. Or. This happens.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
I would be happy to do so, both as a good neighbor & an unemployed actor.
All the best, mh— Mark Hamill (@MarkHamill) February 26, 2018
DM me for my contact info if you're serious.

Just followed you. Is that how DM's work?

This is totally happening. This has to be happening, right? There is no way they would tease us with neighborly DM chats if this wasn’t seriously going to happen. I guess we won’t know until Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 comes out in like three years. But this has to be happening.
If it doesn’t happen, the Internet never forgets, and we will grill Gunn as to why Hamill is not in the movie. We may even boycott the movie.
We won’t boycott the movie.
But we will definitely be very angry.
