The confirmation of Cosmo the Spacedog in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 supports reboot theories for Guardians of the Galaxy 4. Marvel Studios brought the Guardians of the Galaxy together for the first time in 2014. Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket, and Groot have been the team's core ever since, while Mantis, Nebula, and Kraglin have joined the roster. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is confirmed to be the end of this iteration of the team, sparking theories that Guardians of the Galaxy 4 could reboot the team with a new lineup. Some suggestions even wonder if the new roster will be teased in Phase 5.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 5 slate. While James Gunn has maintained his stance that this will be the final appearance of the original Guardians team, he has left the door open to a fourth film happening. Such a movie would happen without some, if not all, of the original cast members. Many are convinced Drax and Rocket could die, while Star-Lord and others could continue on. In any case, Guardians of the Galaxy 4 will surely feature a rebooted version of the Guardians team, which could contain a variety of new characters that Guardians of the Galaxy 3 introduces.
