10 Bold Predictions About Every Upcoming MCU Movie
4. Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 Will Set Up Cosmic Spinoffs
Marvel is on a roll with its Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Adapting a lesser-known comic book and adding cosmic elements to the MCU is an experiment that's paid off in the form of two successful movies.
A third Guardians has already been announced and is expected to arrive by 2020, and Previous comments from director James Gunn suggest the threequel will "help to set up the next 10, 20 years of Marvel movies". It could do that by spawning a series of cosmic spinoffs.
The next era of the Marvel universe is bound to be super unique, and it could potentially include solo outings for the Guardians, a project based around the Nova Corps, an Adam Warlock film, or even an Infinity Watch movie.
After Infinity War and its sequel brings the entire MCU together, it seems likely that Phase 4 will remould the universe and push its unique characters apart, at least until the next big crossover unities them again.
Going forward, the Guardians series could essentially become a cinematic universe in itself, with the third instalment splitting it off into interconnected cosmic spinoffs.
