Last year, Gillan shared that the third installment of the that when she read the script along with Pom Klementieff (Mantis), they were both in “floods of tears.” She added, “You’re learning more about existing characters and on a deeper level … I’m really excited at exploring Nebula, post-Thanos.”
Back in October, someone tweeted to Gunn that they will riot if Rocket dies, and the director had the perfect response.
“I’m not saying anything about anything so don’t take this as insinuating anything about what’s going to happen in #Vol3 BUT I was threatened with, easily, 300 riots before #TheSuicideSquad was released & almost every character was killed & so far I’ve received exactly zero riots,” Gunn wrote. Someone in the comments asked, “Are you going to make me cry again?” Gunn replied, “If I have to cry while writing them you have to cry while watching them, that’s the deal.”
“This is the end for us, the last time people will see this team of Guardians,” Gunn told Deadline‘s Hero Nation Podcast, regarding Guardians 3. “It’s big; it’s so, so big and dark, and different from what people might be expecting it to be.” He added, “I just want to be true to the characters, the story and give people the wrap-up that they deserve for the story. That’s always a little bit scary; I’m doing my best.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is due to hit theaters on May 5, 2023.
