Guardians of the Galaxy is MCU’s most awaited show for MCU universe. Marvel Studios previously filmed with Guardians had featured a major member of the Avengers, or the Avengers name itself. Apart from Spider-Man or Batman, Captain America and Iron Man at least lived in the cultural consciousness.
The Guardians of the Galaxy did not. James Gunn, meanwhile, had directed a small handful of gory movies, including the dark superhero comedy, Super.
The first look of the third instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise is really amazing. In some footage, we have seen Will Poulter’s Adam Warlock, Rocket Raccoon’s origin tale containing his girlfriend, Lylla, Zoe Saldana’s Gamora, and many more. The new trailer really wet your eyes. At the Comic-Con Experience (CCXP) in São Paulo, Brazil, this year, one of the main events kicked off with the panel on Disney’s Marvel Studios, anticipating more upcoming adventures for the franchise’s Phase 5.
The final entry into the Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3 will also mark director James Gunn’s departure from the MCU, and is all set for a 2023 summer theatrical release on May 5. Now, the first official trailer of the film is out.
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3: Plot
Guardians have tried to make Knowhere, with a prominent location from the first two movies. Now, they got their home and the universe was threatened by a new enemy. Adam Warlock had teased at the end of Guardians Vol. 2. In Marvel comics, he represents a heroic character and a perfect being created by Earth scientists who rebels against his creators.
In the trailer, we spot Gamora who is now joined by the Ravagers, now finally trying to come up with an explanation to Peter Quill that the Gamora he’s in love with is no longer here. Together with Drax, Mantis, Rocket, and Nebula they are headed towards an unknown territory across the universe, into a planet that has human-like inhabitants with animal faces.

The holiday special also revealed that Mantis is Quill’s sister, and Kurt Russell’s Ego is the father.
