Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special Will Introduce Multiple MCU Heroes
James Gunn says the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will introduce multiple characters to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy, Gunn took oddball comic book characters like Groot and Rocket Raccoon and made them household names. With last summer’s The Suicide Squad, the writer/director introduced more characters than perhaps any DC film thus far, including John Cena’s Christopher Smith/Peacemaker. The HBO Max spinoff, Peacemaker, is now the best-reviewed entry in the DC Extended Universe.
Following work on Peacemaker, Gunn has returned to the MCU and is currently filming the final installment in his Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Filming concurrently with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which is set to drop on Disney+ during the 2022 holiday season, just months before the release of the third film. Piggybacking off Disney+'s Hawkeye and inspired by the infamous Star Wars: Holiday Special, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will bring much more than cheer to the MCU.
