Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 last movie with this team, director says

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 James Gunn, the series’ director, said that this will be the final chapter for this group of misfits. The upcoming superhero film, which is currently scheduled to be released on May 23, 2023, will close out this team’s trilogy and story, the director told Deadline on its Hero Nation podcast.

Gunn was definitive in saying that this would be the last time people saw this group of characters together as the Guardians of the Galaxy saying, “this is the end for us. This is the last time people will see this team of Guardians.”

However, this shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise for fans. Gunn had been predicting that 2017 would see the release of the final movie.

“I think the first three movies tell a single story and that story is pretty simple,” Gunn told the Toronto Sun. “I think that there could be a Vol. 4But it wouldn’t be the same. They would be different groups and not tell the same story. I don’t want to get too much into it because it will spoil too much, but I think basically the story of this group ends with Vol. 3.”

Gunn and the film have seen many changes in 2017! The movie was, for instance, back in 2017. Vol. 3was to have been released in 2019. Although Gunn was fired, and then subsequently rehired again by Disney, it appears that Disney still has the original plan to make this a standalone trilogy.

Gunn also knows that trilogies in movies have their baggage. “I just want to be true to the characters and true to the story and I want to give people the wrap up they deserve,” Gunn said on the Hero Nation podcast. “That is always a little bit scary. I’m very aware that the third film in most trilogies suck.”
