are inevitably being hunted down by impatient Marvel fans, and while we don’t know exactly what happens in James Gunn’s MCU swansong just yet, we do know a whole bunch of story and plot details.
The final installment in the James Gunn-directed trilogy will conclude the storyline of the most unlikely band of superheroes, whose adventures started with 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy and developed over six Marvel Cinematic Universe entries (seven if you also count Thor: Love & Thunder). The titular heroes went through many adventures over the years, with some of the Guardians turned to dust during the Snap caused by Thanos (Josh Brolin). Recently, they helped Thor (Chris Hemsworth) defeat the Booskans in the battle of Indigarr before kidnapping Kevin Bacon to cheer up Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), a.k.a. Star-Lord, roughly in MCU’s 2024.
