The Final Chapter of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will conclude Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy as director James Gunn moves on to co-heading DC Studios. ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis spoke to star Chris Pratt about how it felt saying goodbye.

"It was really emotional," Pratt said. "It was really emotional for so many reasons that it would take too long in this interview to even get into. But it just was emotional. It was a lot of gratitude around the fact that James Gunn actually directed it and was able to do that. Just grateful that he even gave me the job to begin with. It felt gratifying, knowing that critics had said that it would likely be the first Marvel movie to bomb. And what was that gonna be like, to be the first Marvel movie to not be successful? To take these characters that no one knew, and now have them be household names, and to be part of that, and to have rides around the world."
