Everything We Know About Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be released on May 5, 2023, and fans are confident it will be the best MCU movie since the last one. Perhaps one of the Spider-man movies? It’s hard to say. So here’s everything we know about the upcoming Guardians movie, for better or worse.

It comes six years after the second installment. There have certainly been a lot of changes since their last solo trip. In those pre-Infinity War days, the Blip was just a looming threat. There will be plenty to unpack when we reunite with the crew after Infinity War and Endgame. Gamora died, and most of the team vanished for five years in the Blip, a younger Gamora is now with the crew, and now they’re back together. This leaves plenty of room for speculation.

The plot of the film is unknown, other than that it takes place after the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Furthermore, James Gunn confirmed that this is the final act of this particular Guardians series. Gunn told Deadline‘s Hero Nation podcast, “This is the end for us, the last time people will see this team of Guardians.” So we can only imagine this iteration of Guardians will go out with quite a bang.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is clearly going to spend a lot of time with Rocket. In a recent interview with EW, James Gunn explained how important the grumpy raccoon is to the third Game of Thrones film. Among Gunn’s reasons for returning for Vol 3 was the need to tell Rocket’s story and his connection to the character. He says, “I feel like nobody would be able to tell his full story if it wasn’t me.”

To me, Rocket has always been the secret protagonist of the Guardians movies… From the beginning, it has been rooted in who he is as a character. I think he exemplifies a lot of the traits of all the Guardians. They’ve had all these traumas, and it brings them together. I just think that his is more extreme than others… He was just fine being an animal, and he was transformed into something else he didn’t want to be. I think that transformation itself was extremely painful, but I also think it made him feel incredibly alienated from everyone else. In Vol. 3, we learn a lot about his past — where he came from, who he is, and what he’s been through. It’s been a difficult road for the little animal.

In this GOTG film, all the usual suspects return, but with a slight caveat. As such, Chris Pratt , Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Pom Klementieff, Karen Gillan, and Sean Gunn are back. In Avengers: Infinity War, Gamora was killed by Thanos, and Saldaa is playing an earlier version of the character. In Avengers: Endgame, the younger version of the character travels to the present-day MCU to join the crew. In addition, Michael Rosenbaum has confirmed that he will return as Martinex
