Bigger stakes mean a more emotional journey for these characters – and the actors playing them. Saldaña told ScreenRant Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is a "bittersweet moment" for everyone involved, while Gillan revealed the film’s script left the cast in "floods of tears" (per Yahoo). Elaborating to Rolling Stone, Gillan said a specific scene in the movie's third act "felt like a goodbye" for the entire cast and crew. Altogether now: we are Groot *sniff sniff*. The third movie sees the Guardians on their most dangerous mission yet. After receiving a distress call from an unknown planet, the team need to race across the cosmos to a war-torn world where a ruthless dictator is focused on possessing a weapon that’s capable of destroying whole galaxies.

Visionary Intro– Director James Gunn provides context on how he continues and expands the storylines of these beloved characters in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” The Gamora we'll see in Vol.3 basically does not know who Star-Lord and the other Guardians are. No, it's not amnesia: it's time travel, this is 2014's Gamora. So, expect a not-insubstantial portion of the movie to be about the team adjusting to this new/old Gamora. Of course, that includes Star-Lord, who is likely still in love with her, and was so unleashed about his feelings for her that he screwed things up with Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. Gag Reel– Laugh out loud at all the hilarious off-script shenanigans and bloopers that took place on the set of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” featuring all your favorite Guardians.Less clear is the possibility of Sylvester Stallone reprising the role of Stakar in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Before Gunn left Marvel in 2018, he told the Toronto Sun that "My plan is to see more of Stakar. ... I’m not sure about him appearing in Vol. 3, we’ll have to see about that, but it’s our plan to see more of Stallone. Kevin (Feige) and I are working on what is going to become of the Marvel Cosmic Universe and where it’s going to go. We plan to see the rest of them in the future," with the "them" being Aleta Ogord (Michelle Yeoh), Charlie-27 (Ving Rhames), Martinex (Michael Rosenbaum) and Mainframe (voiced by Miley Cyrus). Method has attempted to defuse the situation, telling The Hollywood Reporter that its AI use "complemented and assisted our creative teams" and that none of its staff lost their jobs as a result of using such technology. Even better, this makes it even less likely that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2will spend unnecessary time setting up Avengers: Infinity War. Let the Guardians do their thing in their own corner of the Marvel Universe. No need to go any further with it than that!

You’ll have to wait and see but it’s very different. There are things in the comic book that on film seemed to come out a little too Star Warsto me. I’m not a great fan of the name J’son. So there’ll be a lot of differences from what’s in there.” Speaking to Deadline, Gunn also said: "It’s not ever going to be the same group of characters for a lot of different reasons. Who knows what will happen with the Guardians franchise in regards to future characters, but in terms of this group of characters, this is the end of their story."

Are you ready to add the third and final Guardians of the Galaxy movie as we know the franchise to your DVD collection? There isn’t that much longer left to wait. Thankfully, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 won’t be an entirely somber cinematic outing. The threequel retains the self-deprecating humor that made the other films so enjoyable, with Gillan telling The Wrap: "There’s been way more improv for me this time around than I have ever given before. I don’t know if they’ll make the cut but I hope they do."The film should get early access in North America a little earlier than in the UK too with the possibility of it arriving towards the end of June, but we’ll update you with more details as they’re confirmed. It’s been a very changeable few years for the film industry, so predictions have been harder than usual for DVD, Blu-ray and 4K releases. However, we’re pretty sure that at least some of them are going to feature in future Marvel Cinematic Universe movies like Avengers The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars. Which of them that will be remains to be seen, but there should be a little left in the tank before Phase 6 closes out the Multiverse Saga. Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. With the release date set for May 6th, 2023, the Guardians of the Galaxy UK Blu-ray and DVD release date should take place around September 2023. This should give it a long run in cinemas leading up to summer and a timeline to release on digital in the very least before the end of the holidays. As Marvel is owned by the Walt Disney Company, it will also feature on Disney Plus at some time later in the year. However, your first chance to see it at home is probably early access to buy the film, which should be around 45-60 days after it comes out on the big screen, so around July just in time for the summer hols.
