Obviously, plans are one thing, actually executing on those plans is another, but it’s the MCU’s modus-operandi as it has always been in the comics before it. Gunn has said himself he hopes someone else carries the torch for him, finding their own unique voice, style and identity at giving life to this team.Īnd knowing Kevin Feige, he wouldn’t really shine such a hopeful light on the future of the galaxy’s ragtag family if he did not plan on doing anything with them. It’s tough to say if we do see the Guardians anytime after that as the man who brought them to us, James Gunn is not in the MCU anymore, and he won’t be for quite a long time. It wouldn’t be shocking if that is the next time we see this team before sending them off on their next adventure, much like we had the big climax of the MCU between Vol. The easy answer is Avengers: Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, being the big phase-closing crossovers of the MCU that will supposedly bring the entire MCU together, as Infinity War and Endgame did before. So we have to ask: What’s next for our Guardians? Who is joined by Cosmo, Kraglin, Phyla, Adam Warlock and a gigantic Groot (that has been dubbed by the fandom Goliath-Groot) in the heat of a mission, going into action with the sound of Redbone’s Come and Get Your Love, the first song heard by Peter Quill as the original “Guardians of the Galaxy” began, symbolically passing the Awesome Mix legacy to a new generation. As the Zune has been passed down from Peter to the now-captain of the new team: Rocket. When we next see the Guardians, or at least A team of Guardians, is in the mid-credits scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. To somewhat ease the heartbreak of this disbanding, we’re finally brought into the family and get to understand the words of Groot for the first time, as the last note we leave on, on the final time we see our Guardians together, is: “I love you guys.”. (L-R): Sean Gunn as Kraglin, Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel), Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), Dave Bautista as Drax, and Pom Klementieff as Mantis in Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. And as he leaves the MCU to prepare for a brand-new adventure overseeing a whole new universe of entirely different superheroes with the upcoming DCU, so must we as fans bid farewell to the Guardians of the Galaxy as we know them.Īfter saving Rocket, and countless other victims of the High Evolutionary, finding everyone a home in Knowhere, we see the Guardians saying goodbye: Peter Quill decides to confront his past and return of his grandfather back on Earth, Gamora comes to terms with being a part of the Ravagers, Drax embraces what he’s being running away from since losing his family and becomes a father to all the orphaned children, Nebula chooses to become a protector over the people of Knowhere so they can never live a life of abuse such as she did at the hands of Thanos, and Mantis finally gets to choose for herself what she wants to do besides being a member of the team or a slave at the hands of a maniacal ruler. James Gunn has traced the journey of the galaxy’s most endearing misfits ever since 2014 dating back to Vol. It is the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most successful outing in a perhaps ever since Spider-Man: No Way Home and it may even become more beloved and successful that that. James Gunn’s MCU swansong is making waves across the globe, whether that is in box-office, critical/fan reception. (L-R): Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel), Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Dave Bautista as Drax, Karen Gillan as Nebula in Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
