In the sea of highly-anticipated film trailers that aired during the Super Bowl, Marvel released the trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The first Guardians of the Galaxy movie since 2017 will reunite the Guardians with Gamora, played by Zoe Saldaña. The Super Bowl trailer showed audiences that Gamora will return, despite the fact that she was killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. A new Gamora returned in Avengers: Endgame, but she had no memory of Star-Lord. Now, Peter Quill must get her memories back while the Guardians fight one last mission against Chukwudi Iwuji’s villain, the High Evolutionary.
Marvel revealed the first official trailer to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in December 2022. The initial trailer showed the Guardians teaming up for a mission “one last time,” as Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) tells Star-Lord. Returning cast members include Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Saldaña as Gamora, and Cooper as Rocket. With them, Dave Bautista will return as Drax the Destroyer. Vin Diesel will return as Groot, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Karen Gillian as Nebula, Sean Gunn as Kraglin, Sylvester Stallone as Stakar Ogord, and Elizabeth Debicki as Ayesha. There will also be newcomers to the franchise, including Will Poulter as Adam Warlock, Iwuji as the High Evolutionary, and Maria Bakalova as Cosmo the Spacedog. Bakalova’s character was introduced in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
“Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3” Trailer
James Gunn directed all three films in the Guardians of the Galaxy series. He was recently chosen to lead DC Studios for Warner Brothers Discovery in October. While starting his new position as co-chairman and CEO, Gunn is seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy saga through. He is overseeing post-production on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. He confirmed to fans at 2022’s San Diego Comic Con that this is the final film for the fan-favorite crew of superheroes. He said, “This is the end of that story. I’m sorry. Some stories have an end. It doesn’t mean everybody dies.”
Bautista visited The Tonight Show on January 31. He announced to fans that the upcoming third Guardians of the Galaxy movie would definitely be his last performance as Drax the Destroyer. He said, “With Drax, I just got to end the perfect way. And I would never sign up for another job as Drax just to get a paycheck. I would tarnish that [perfect ending], and I won’t do it.” Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will release in theaters on May 5.
