Avengers: Infinity War - 13 Big Questions From Everything We Know So Far

10. How Will The Guardians Fit In On Earth?

Although part of the same cinematic universe, the Guardians of the Galaxy have been very distant from the Avengers thus far. While most MCU action takes place on Earth, the Guardians are more concerned with space-bound adventures, but that's all about to change with Infinity War.

The connecting link between the two is Thanos and, with Thor meeting the Guardians in space, he'll presumably convince them to come to Earth to join the fight against the Mad Titan - not that some of them will need much convincing.

But how will the Guardians fit in on Earth, and alongside the other Avengers? Even though the team does have a Hulk and an android, these guys - Peter Quill aside - are much more out there. How will the Avengers react to a talking raccoon and an adolescent tree only capable of saying what his name is? It's going to be a whole new dynamic to watch, and that's before getting into how they fit into the larger plot.

While they will be a part of the team fighting against Thanos, there is potential for a couple of juicy subplots there: Gamora and Nebula are Thanos' daughters, while Drax has sworn revenge on him. It'll be difficult balancing all of the heroes, but hopefully we will get to see those stories have at least one big moment.
