10 Comic Book Movie Characters Who Face Uncertain On-Screen Futures
5. Most Of The Guardians
MAJOR SPOILERS FOR GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 3 AHEAD!
Okay, you’ve been warned, so let's get into the nitty-gritty. James Gunn’s masterful creation had always provided laughs, tears and even scares, but Volume 3 turned it up to 11 on that front.
A film consisting of incredible acting, a glorious villain and a heart-breaking plot accompanied by a fulfilling ending nevertheless, Volume 3 has it all. But, it might be time to say goodbye to some of the Guardians for good.
The film’s climax saw the crew disbanded for the most part, with Quill returning to Earth as well as Gamora reuniting with the Ravagers and Mantis headed on her adventures away from the Guardians. It’s a tear-jerking moment, as this line-up has all but served its time and paid its dues. OG Guardians members Dave Bautista and Zoe Saldana have openly admitted this will be the last time audiences see them play Drax and Gamora respectively.
However, it's not all doom and gloom for Guardians fans as there is light at the end of the tunnel. The film’s mid-credit scene showcased a new Guardians roster led by Rocket that consists of familiar faces Groot and Kraglin but unveilings of Adam Warlock, Cosmo and Phyla-Vell also.
And there's no forgetting the bombshell reveal that “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return.”. Although there is a significant James Gunn-sized hole concerning their MCU future, make no mistake, the Guardians of the Galaxy will be back but just not as you’ve known them to be.
