Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 lands on Disney+

Wednesday 2 August 2023 by Jonathan Victoria  News

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is out now on Disney+, providing fans the chance to watch for the first time or rewatch the final chapter of the Guardians saga together.

The band of heroes has seen them team up for three standalone movies, as well as feature in multiple other projects such as Thor: Love and Thunder, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: End Game.

GOTG Vol. 3 is a brilliantly touching film that wraps up the group's story perfectly. Focusing more on Rocket’s story as they fight the High Evolutionary, the man who “created”  the loveable raccoon, it sees the Guardians go on one last adventure where they all seem to discover the truths about themselves.

It's a fantastic film and a perfect ending to this chapter of the MCU. Now they will be going their separate ways, although some stars are expected to be returning in future projects.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

At the end of the movie, Star-Lord/ Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) returns to Earth to reconnect and be with his grandpa.

In one of the post-credit scenes, Quill and his grandpa are sitting together at a table eating breakfast, when the screen turns black and the words ‘The legendary Star-Lord will return’ appears.

That’s good news for Star-Lord fans, but there is also a strong chance that other characters will return.

Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel) have formed and are part of the new Guardians team as we see in the other post-credit scene, so expect to see them in the future either in their standalone film or in another project.

Nebula (Karen Gillan) is also likely to feature since she now essentially runs Knowhere, the Guardians’ headquarters. Whether her appearances will just be cameo/ small parts or not is yet to be seen.

And Mantis (Pom Klementieff) may also reappear, albeit some ways down the road, as her story at the end takes her away from everything so she can discover who she is.

For now, though, the characters of Drax (Dave Bautista) and Gamora (Zoe Saldana) are not set to return, with Vol. 3 their swan song to the series as both actors bow out from the roles.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is one of the best MCU projects that has been released in Phase Four, so be sure to make time to watch the film if you haven’t already.
