GotGVol3 won't always be light & fun, teases James Gunn 👀 'Vol. 3 has a lot of the fun and the goofy stuff of Guardians, but it's also incredibly emotional... It was very serious a lot of the time. The actors were all pushing themselves a lot...' 😯
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn explains what will be different about the third Guardians movie. Gunn helmed both previous Guardians of the Galaxy installments, delving deeper into the cosmic side of the MCU and introducing many new faces to the franchise with the first Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Due in large part to Gunn's signature directing style, the Guardians of the Galaxy films sport a lighthearted and irreverent tone and are packed with witty jokes, pop culture references, exciting musical moments, and plenty of color. That trend is set to continue with Disney+'s The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which was filmed alongside Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and is set before the events of that final film.
Vol. 3 has a lot of the fun and the goofy stuff of Guardians, but it's also incredibly emotional. It's the end of the story for this group of Guardians, so there was a lot of emotion around it. It was very serious a lot of the time. The actors were all pushing themselves a lot, especially Chris Pratt. It was heavy.
The Guardians' evolution as a team and as individuals will likely play into Gunn's depiction of the more serious upcoming conclusion to their trilogy. The emotional beats in the previous two Guardians of the Galaxy films have often come from various members of the team, particularly Peter, facing their pasts, which Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will hopefully do for some less-utilized members of the group, perhaps Rocket.
While the previous two Guardians of the Galaxy films have featured plenty of moving and emotional moments, Gunn's description of the filming experience as "very serious a lot of the time" indicates a departure from the franchise's overall tone. This shift is fitting, since the upcoming 2023 movie is expected to be the the Guardians team's final MCU adventure, which likely led to a bittersweet finale for the tight-knit group.
