10 Secrets Of MCU Phase 5 You Need To Know
7. The Guardians Will Have Nothing To Do With Thor
As Avengers: Endgame reached its game-changing conclusion, everyone's favourite God of Thunder seemingly joining forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy seemed like the sort of development destined to create shockwaves throughout much of the incoming Phases.
However, Thor: Love and Thunder quickly laughed off any hopes of seeing the Asgardians of the Galaxy set the MCU on fire for years to come as the titular hero kissed goodbye to Star Lord and the gang pretty early on in the runtime.
And judging from James Gunn's Comic-Con comments of Love and Thunder having absolutely nothing to do with the tale he wrote for Volume 3, "I wrote the script without ever thinking that they were ever going to be with Thor, so it hasn’t affected them at all," being his exact words, you do have to wonder why Marvel bothered to infuse the self-proclaimed "Strongest Avenger" with this gang of misfits in the first place.
Thor is very much said to be returning based on Marvel's "THOR WILL RETURN" statement in Love and Thunder's end credits, much to the surprise of Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman. But it looks like Guardians Vol. 3 won't boast any thunder.
