The highly-anticipated third installment of James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy series, titled Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, is already generating buzz ahead of its release this May. Early reactions to the film have been overwhelmingly positive, with many critics and industry insiders praising the film as a standout addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Critics who have seen early screenings of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 have praised James Gunn’s direction and the film’s humor and heart. Many have also noted that the film is a fitting conclusion to the story arc that began in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, which was released in 2014.
The positive reactions are a promising sign for the film, which is expected to be the final installment in the Guardians of the Galaxy series, at lesat for the time being. While the plot of the film is still under wraps, it is rumored to explore the origins of Rocket Raccoon.
One confirmed aspect of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the return of James Gunn as writer and director. Gunn was originally set to direct the film after the success of the first two Guardians flicks, but was temporarily removed from the project due to controversial tweets that resurfaced from his past. However, after a public outcry from the Guardians cast and fans, Gunn was reinstated on the film. Vol. 3 is his last Marvel movie due to his commitments to DC Studios.
What to expect from the third Guadians movie
The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 synopsis reads as follows: “Our beloved band of misfits are settling into life on Knowhere, but it isn’t long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket’s turbulent past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life – a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.”
