5. When Will The Avengers Meet The Guardians Of The Galaxy?
Now the cosmic side of the MCU has been established with Thor and Guardians Of The Galaxy (Doctor Strange will strengthen those ties as well) it feels inevitable The Guardians will interact with Earth at some point. Guardians helmer James Gunn has confirmed this wont happen with Vol. 2 and there are currently no plans, but with Thanos coming to Earth for Infinity War it feels like the perfect opportunity to bridge the cosmic gap. The character roster for Infinity War is already stuffed though, with just about every character appearing in the MCU so far lined up for an appearance. It would be a nice surprise for The Guardians to show up for Infinity War Part II, so long as theres space for them to make a valuable contribution. If it doesnt happen in Phase 3 it will definitely come about beyond that, and who knows, maybe theyll make up part of The Avengers in Phase 4; Rocket Raccoon and Spider-Man buddying up is something that really needs to happen.
