MCU: Predicting 25 Movies Marvel Will Make After Phase 3
20. Guardians Of The Galaxy 3
The Film
A trilogy-ender for Marvel's most charming, and still most surprisingly successful MCU sub-franchise. Presumably Peter Quill will know who his father is, there won't be any Infinity Stones issues and Groot might be fully cooked again, but there are plenty more stories in this universe. And plenty more Guardians to add to the team.
Any Evidence?
James Gunn might not be entirely sure he's coming back, but the film has pretty much been confirmed by His Royal Highness Kevin Feige to io9:
“We’re only working on what’s been announced through the end of 2019. And it is still a big chess board for 2020 and beyond, but certainly I would say Guardians 3 is one film that’s up there. I don’t know what exactly the order will be.”
Any Groundwork?
It's hard to say what comes after Guardians Vol 2, but there's a whole galaxy of cosmic stories that could be explored. They literally have all of space (and no, they don't need to come to Earth).
If Gunn goes, maybe Hulk can join the team after all?
