James Gunn considering breaking continuity

"In the first movie, there's the mugshot sequence where they're having their picture taken and the Nova Corps has information about each of the characters come up on their machinery.

But there's a lot of background about who they work with, where they're from and what's going on and it's one of those things I'm thinking about changing."
