James Gunn Confirms Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 Is The End For The Team
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn has once again gone on record as saying that the third installment in his trilogy will be the last time audiences will see the familiar team together. Gunn first made his mark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2014 with the original Guardians movie before following it up with Vol. 2 in 2017. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is currently set to be the final chapter in Gunn's intergalactic saga, is set for a 2023 release.
The first Guardians movie introduced viewers to the core team of Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), Rocket Racoon (Bradley Cooper), and Groot (Vin Diesel).

Audiences have come to know and love the band of misfits that make up the current Guardians of the Galaxy roster, but the series' director is warning fans that the team is about to see some major changes.
