Introduction

Guardians of the Galaxy has been one of Marvel’s most beloved franchises since it first hit theaters in 2014. Fans have been eagerly anticipating the third installment, and we finally have some details about what we can expect. In this guide, we’ll cover everything from the release date to the cast to the plot, and even fan theories.

Release Date and Production Updates

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was initially set to release in May 2020, but production delays and the firing of director James Gunn pushed the release date back. The current release date is May 5th, 2023, and we’re hoping there won’t be any more delays.

In terms of production, filming began in November 2021 and is set to wrap up in April 2022. We can expect post-production to take several months, so the release date should stick. Despite the delays and setbacks, the cast and crew seem excited about the film, and we can’t wait to see what they’ve come up with.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 Cast and Characters

The main cast of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise is set to return for the third installment, including Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Vin Diesel as Groot (voice), and Bradley Cooper as Rocket (voice). Additionally, Karen Gillan will return as Nebula, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, and Michael Rooker as Yondu.

We can also expect some new faces, including Will Poulter in an as-yet-unknown role, and Sylvester Stallone, who appeared in a brief cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, is set to have a larger role in the third film.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 Plot and Storyline

Marvel has been tight-lipped about the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but we do know a few things. In an interview with Collider, James Gunn revealed that the film will focus on Rocket’s backstory and will wrap up the story of the current iteration of the Guardians. He also hinted that the film will be emotional and “very, very, very different” from the previous two installments.

Fans have speculated that the film may introduce Adam Warlock, a character teased at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and that it may tie in with other Marvel properties like Thor: Love and Thunder or the upcoming Disney+ series, Secret Invasion.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 Marketing and Promotion

Despite the delays in production, Marvel has been keeping the hype up for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. In May 2021, they released a teaser trailer that gave us a glimpse of the new logo and some behind-the-scenes footage. They also announced the full cast list, which got fans even more excited.

As we get closer to the release date, we can expect more trailers, posters, and other promotional material. Keep an eye on Marvel’s social media channels and website for updates.

Fan Theories and Expectations

As with any highly anticipated film, fans have been speculating and theorizing about what we can expect from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Some of the most popular theories include:

The introduction of Adam Warlock as the main villain
The Guardians teaming up with Thor and the Asgardians in Thor: Love and Thunder
The return of Gamora from an alternate timeline
The introduction of the X-Men or Fantastic Four into the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Only time will tell which theories
