The film’s sequel would continue this trend, with the end of the first film revealing the existence of a second mix-tape. While Star-Lord’s beloved Sony Walkman and mixtapes would end up getting destroyed in the final act of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Gunn continued the tradition by gifting the character with a Microsoft Zune MP3 player at the conclusion of the sequel.
