10 Biggest Questions Surrounding Upcoming Movies

Watching new movies is great, but you know what's even better? The build-up. The hype. The anticipation. Movies are rarely greater than what we imagine them to be, and in those few months prior to release - when we don't have all the facts - our imaginations are free to conjure up just about anything.

Of course, this period of time can also be a frustrating one, because until we actually see these films for ourselves, we're essentially stranded in no man's land, creating theories and discussions in a desperate attempt to fill that void of information.

Still, even though us fans are wrong quite a lot of the time (remember when the internet was convinced that the Soul Stone was in Wakanda?), we're always going to ask questions, and we're always going to wonder what might happen in those films we're most excited to see.

So, looking at the slate of blockbusters set to hit the big-screen (hopefully!) in the coming years, there are several huge question marks we find ourselves thinking about - question marks that absolutely need to be discussed.

10. How Much Screen Time Will The Guardians Of The Galaxy Have? (Thor: Love And Thunder)

The conclusion of Avengers: Endgame teased a Thor/Guardians of the Galaxy team-up, which we're finally going to see in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder.

But one thing we don't really know is how big this plot point will actually be: will the Guardians have sizable parts in the film, or will they be lumped with glorified cameos in an opening action sequence?

While we're hoping for the former, it's the latter that seems more likely. When Endgame was being written and filmed, the third Guardians movie was next up on the docket, with an expected release in 2020. This means that Guardians 3 was intended to be the film that included the Thor/Guardians team-up, but when writer-director James Gunn was (temporarily) fired and Guardians 3 was pushed back, that responsibility was suddenly thrust upon Thor's next outing instead.

So, because Love and Thunder was never meant to feature a Thor/Guardians subplot (before Gunn was fired, this storyline would've been wrapped up in Guardians 3), it's likely that the film will need to send the Guardians packing relatively early, in order to proceed with the story that filmmaker Taika Waititi actually wants to tell.

Reportedly, several Guardians actors also left the Love and Thunder set quite early on, another hint that the rag-tag group's role in the film will be small.
