Marvel Studios recently released Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’s Alternate Ending
Last month, Marvel Studios released the infamously talked about deleted scene and it shows exactly what High Collector actor Chukwudi Iwuji has been saying was in it. During a recent Previously, while appearing on ComicBook.com’s Phase Zero podcast, Iwuji revealed to us that the sequel actually had an alternate ending than the one we saw in theaters and revealed some cool information about what goes down in the scene.
“Well, let me just put it this way. I’m hoping you’ll see an extended version or maybe an alternate ending, you know, that we certainly did film,” Iwuji exclusively revealed to us. “I mean the whole point in Marvel is that unless you see someone die they haven’t necessarily died and even if they do die what does that mean in the multiverse, right? But, the point is that Rocket doesn’t shoot me. They make a point of saying why don’t you kill him and he says no, I’m not going to kill him. And you don’t actually see me go down with the ship. So, I’ll just leave it at that.”
