Introduction
Guardians of the Galaxy (GotG) is a popular superhero team in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The team consists of Peter Quill aka Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot. The first movie was released in 2014, with the sequel following in 2017. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the third installment of the franchise, and here’s everything we know so far.
The Cast and Characters
The main cast of GotG 3 will consist of the same actors as the previous movies. Chris Pratt will reprise his role as Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, and Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot. Karen Gillan will also return as Nebula, Gamora’s sister.
There have also been rumors of new characters joining the team, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Fans are excited to see who might be added to the already beloved team.
The Plot
The plot of GotG 3 has been kept under wraps, and there have been no official announcements about the story. However, director James Gunn has hinted that the movie will focus on Rocket Raccoon’s backstory.
He tweeted, “Vol. 3 will conclude the story of this iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and help catapult both old and new Marvel characters into the next ten years and beyond.” Fans have speculated that the movie might also address the aftermath of the events of Avengers: Endgame.
The Release Date
The release date for GotG 3 has not been officially announced yet. It was initially scheduled for a 2020 release, but director James Gunn was fired from the project due to old controversial tweets. However, he was rehired by Disney in 2019, and production is expected to begin in late 2021 or early 2022.
Given the delay, it’s likely that the movie won’t be released until 2023 or later.

He tweeted, “The third mix is going to be a lot different from the first two, and I’m excited about it. It’s going to be a more emotional soundtrack.” Fans can expect a mix of old and new songs, as well as original music composed for the movie.
Conclusion
GotG 3 is one of the most highly anticipated movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While there’s still much we don’t know about the plot and release date, fans can rest assured that the same beloved cast of characters will be returning for one last adventure.
