Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ends the James Gunn era of Marvel Studios. Nevertheless, it additionally leaves a nice clear runway for Marvel to do what it pleases with the characters sooner or later, whether or not that’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4 or past. One would possibly suppose Gunn would really feel a bit odd about seeing the characters he was so integral in bringing to life on adventures he’s not part of however, in a new interview, he really says the alternative.
“No matter Marvel does with these characters, I can’t wait,” the writer-director told the New York Times. “I hope they use them. I can’t wait to see one other filmmaker tackle the Guardians, and I hope that they do it in a approach that they take possession of the characters. However I really feel good, I really feel pleased.”
The same can be said for many of the characters—who, after finishing this trilogy (with a number of Avengers detours) all exist in a greater, happier place. That was by design. Gunn admits, although, it did have a bit to do with what the actors that play the characters wished.
“Each Zoe [Saldaña] and Dave [Bautista] have been very clear they’re not going to proceed — likewise, me, really,” Gunn mentioned. “Chris [Pratt] is open to doing extra stuff, though I feel he must be satisfied. It does change some issues: Like, I wouldn’t have had Dave within the post-credits scene. However I’m unsure if a lot would have modified past that.”
That’s why Drax is left within the heartwarming place of embracing his fatherhood and rejecting his “Destroyer” monicker and Gamora goes off to be along with her new household, which isn’t the Guardians. These can simply be the ends for these characters. Quite the opposite, Peter Quill is given a giant finish credit score scene particularly saying that he’ll return. However that’s solely after Quill accomplished the journey Gunn set out for him.
“The arc with Peter Quill, in some methods, you may have a look at as that of many individuals who’ve skilled childhood trauma,” Gunn mentioned. “He was by his mom’s bedside when she died, and he ran away and went into outer area—which, for different folks, may very well be shutting off from the world—and stayed there for a very long time till he got here to the conclusion as an grownup that he wanted to return to Earth. That, for me, was all the time his journey.”
