You think you're excited about Guardians of the Galaxy 2? Well, James Gunn is already thinking about Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
You may think you're ready for Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and you probably are. But how ready are you for Guardians of the Galaxy 3? James Gunn is already thinking ahead.
For starters, he's making the expected promises about the second film, which he's currently writing. "I had the basic story for number two while I was working on number one,"he told The Playlist, "and perhaps even beyond that. So it’s gonna answer a lot of questions that are proposed in the first one, and we’ll be able to get to know some of the characters we didn’t get to know in the first one a little bit more, and we might meet a few new characters too."
We have to expect that the unanswered questions involve the father of Peter Quill. We got excited about the "beyond that" part. Still, whenever Guardians of the Galaxy 3 may arrive, it won't be until after Avengers: Infinity War - Part 2 in 2019. We figure the earliest we could see it would be the summer of 2019, but...let's not get ahead of ourselves.
There are some more basic concerns as well, namely, the characters. Mr. Gunn told High Def Digest that "we can't just repeat ourselves" in terms of tone, and that the shift is about getting to know the characters on a deeper level, knowing them more intimately, and uncovering facets of the characters that make them more real to us....They're a much more flawed group than The Avengers. They have major, major issues".
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is out on May 5th, 2017. Our complete examination of the Marvel movie release calendar is here.
