James Gunn confirms that he has finished filming the film.
The first installment of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ was perhaps one of the most unexpected surprises of Marvel. Arrived in the summer of 2014, without any expectations, since comics are very little known… and it blew up the summer box office. His absurd humor and his dose of carefree adventures made the perfect cocktail for the public to respond perfectly.
Although the second installment was not received with such enthusiasm, it did follow in the footsteps that had marked the first part, so it was logical that Marvel would think of one more installment to close the trilogy. And so we come to ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’.
Release date of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’
The new installment of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ has gone through many phases, especially due to the dismissal of James Gunn by Marvel, and his subsequent re-hiring. The MCU release schedule is full of projects, and all of them have seen their arrival delayed due to the Covid crisis.
For ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’ there were several free dates so far: October 7, 2022, February 17, 2023, May 5, 2023, July 28, 2023 and November 3, 2023. As has The coronavirus has been marking, Marvel has already opted for one: we will finally have a third installment May 5 of 2023. As the director tweeted:
See you all in theaters two years from Wednesday. 5.5.23 🚀🚀🚀 pic.twitter.com/5XKDkSOYGu

Synopsis for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’
For now there is no official synopsis of what we will see in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’, but we do have several clues that both its director and its cast members have been giving over the years. James Gunn has been adamant that it will be an epic finale to the group’s story that began with the first film in 2014.
He also regretted very much that, if he had stayed out of the project, he would not have been able to complete the character arc that he had prepared for Rocket, so we will learn more about the origin of the character and it has been rumored for some time that we will travel to his home planet, where he ‘built’ As we have been able to learn at the San Diego Comic Con, we will see a ‘Baby Rocket’.
Gunn has been working on the story for years, having long since been done. Gunn, and also Zoe Saldaña, has acknowledged that the third story will be tougher and more emotional, being “an emotional process to go through“And, as a preview of what James Gunn has prepared, Chris Pratt has defined ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’ as a masterpiece.
Another element to take into account is adam warlock, who promised to be the great villain that the MCU expected, and seen in the post-credits scene of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy vol. two’. Warlock is closely linked to the Infinity Stones, so perhaps the continued use of these has awakened him in some way in the face of this third installment of the adventures of Star Lord and company. But judging by what was seen at Comic Con 2022, there is a possibility that Warlock starts as a villain and ends up helping the Guardians defeat an even more fearsome foe.
This fearsome villain will be the High Evolutionarya character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, whose first appearance in the cartoons was in 1966, in The Mighty Thor 134. His original name is Herbert Edgar Wyndham, a scientist who worked on genetic experiments and was very interested in the subject of evolution, something that considerably affects our favorite raccoon.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’ will be set after the events of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’, but we are still unclear if what remains to come from Marvel Phase 4 will affect the story in one way or another. Or, on the contrary, it will be a more independent story from the rest of the MCU, as happened with the previous two installments. The truth is that at the end of ‘Endgame’, Gamora disappears after the battle, so we will have to wait to find out if one of the important points of the film will be based on the search for Gamora, also being this a version of the past that never met our heroes. we do know that Gamora will be with the Raiders without remembering anything about Star-Lord or the rest of the team.
For its part, the role of the Guardians in ‘Thor 4’ was purely testimonial. At the beginning of the film, we see how Thor is one of the team to bring peace to different planets until he decides to go on his own to face Gorr (Christian Bale). The Guardians leave and are never heard from again. James Gunn has confirmed that we will not see the god of thunder in the final chapter of our favorite group.
Cast of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’
Presumably, the entire cast of the first two installments will return in this third, namely: Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel (who voices Groot), Bradley Cooper (voicing Rocket) and Pom Klementieff.
Will Poulter will be in charge of being Warlock in this third installment. Sean Gunn will return as Kraglin, Yondu’s old Ravager friend, and elizabeth debicki she is also confirmed as Ayesha. “I’d love to, even if I just sneak in for a second. I would love to come back“said the actress.
Sylvester Stallone confirmed his return to the film by reprising the role of Stakar Ogord. Will Arnold Schwarzenegger be in the movie? The possible incorporation of Mark Hamill as Rocket’s ‘father’ was also rumored, but the Star Wars actor confirmed in October of last year that he was not going to be in this installment.
the great villain will be played by Chukwudi Iwuji (‘The Peacemaker’), who appeared at the San Diego Comic Con characterized as the High Evolutionary
Daniela Melchiorwhom we saw in ‘The Suicide Squad’ as Ratcatcher 2, previous work of James Gunn for DC Comics, he will be in the movie. And it is not the latest addition. That honor belongs to Maria Bakalova (‘Borat 2’), which will voice Cosmo, the Space Dog. Cosmo, who had a brief appearance in the first film as a prisoner of The Collector (Benicio del Toro), is one of the group’s most beloved characters in the comics and has a history closely tied to that of Rocket.
Director of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’
How could it be otherwise, James Gunn takes the controls for the third time. The director was fired by Disney due to controversial tweets and was hired by DC to direct ‘The Suicide Squad’, released last summer. But the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ cast members couldn’t conceive of another installment without Gunn, so Disney backed down…and eventually rehired him. Last November he immortalized the beginning of the shoot with a photo. Now, a few months later, he has shared an emotional picture on Instagram of him to confirm the end of filming.
“After over 100 days of shooting and over 3000 takes, this is the clapperboard for the final shot of #GotGVol3. It was an easy shot of Rocket sitting down, first with Sean Gunn, then with no one, and it took all of me so as not to burst into tears on the spot. Most of the last ten years of my life have been spent working and thinking about the Guardians. I still have a long way to go with the editing, but it was still momentous for me. It’s something It’s simple to explain to others how much I love this cast and crew. It’s more difficult to explain how much I love these characters, that I see them as parts of myself and those I love, and filming them and writing their words is a way of expressing that love. Once again, I’ll continue to work with them for the next year until release, but shooting that last shot was a warm reminder of the warm impermanence of life and love, and how that impermanence makes it so precious, so valuable, and it’s a good reason to be grateful for what I have right now (…) “
