Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 spells the end for the OG Chris Pratt-led team as we know it. This much we know for sure after James Gunn confirmed it back in January.
Fast forward to today, and Gunn just celebrated wrapping up filming on what could be his final Marvel Studios outing.
It's a bittersweet feeling knowing that Gunn could have probably been more open to return for a fourth Guardians of the Galaxy film, if not with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Back in 2017, Gunn confirmed that he wanted to get the threequel out as soon as possible while doing promotional rounds for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Unfortunately, Disney unceremoniously fired Gunn after some of his inappropriate but older tweets went viral online. Gunn and Disney eventually reconciled, but it wasn't until after Gunn had a chance to work for the other side.
In between 2017 and now, Gunn has released last year's The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker for the DC Extended Universe. Not only that, but Gunn is working on multiple spin-offs for HBO Max, including a producer role for the Voila Davis-led off-shoot.
