Chris Pratt is arguably one of the biggest names in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to his portrayal of Peter Quill/Star-Lord in four MCU outings to date, most notably the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise from James Gunn. Although the veteran Hollywood star is prepping for his long-awaited return in July's Thor: Love and Thunder , he's also been the subject of some unfortunate controversy off-camera. Over the past couple of years, Pratt has come under fire for reportedly being a member of a church that promotes anti-LGBTQ+ views. Pratt's also been called out for his political stances after not being a part of Democratic gatherings, leading to some fans wanting him canceled and replaced as Star-Lord within the MCU. ADVERTISEMENT Numerous MCU personalities have come to his defense after these remarks, including veterans like Robert Downey Jr. and major players like Thanos actor Josh Brolin. Now, as those callouts against Pratt resurface ...

James Gunn is currently neck-deep into his third film with Marvel Studios, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 , which is just over a year away from its long-awaited release in theaters. Before that, Gunn's fan-favorite team of misfits will make their first post- Avengers: Endgame appearance in just a few months in Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder . Marvel finally kickstarted the shortest promotional tour in MCU history by delivering the first trailer for Love and Thunder , providing a short tease for what the God of Thunder will face in his fourth solo movie. While supporting characters like Jane Foster and Valkyrie had their time in the spotlight, the Guardians' appearance in the trailer teased how they will make their presence felt after taking Thor off Earth in the Benatar. ADVERTISEMENT After Gunn first introduced the Guardians in their two solo movies, the director provided his own influence for the characters in Avengers: Infinity Wa...

One of the many reasons why the Guardians of the Galaxy movies took off was due to the film's impressive playlist. James Gunn's two MCU blockbusters introduced the Awesome Mix playlists, collections of iconic songs from the '60s and '70s. Throughout the first two Guardians films, Gunn displayed his expertise in strategically placing songs at certain memorable moments, thus evoking deeper emotions.  As the Guardians move into their next chapter, Vol. 3  is also expected to include more iconic songs, with Chris Pratt's Peter Quill inheriting a Zune at the end of the sequel. While it is still unknown how many and which songs are included in the new playlist, Gunn has previously confirmed that it will not include any modern songs since Quill left Earth as soon as he could after the events of Avengers: Endgame .  ADVERTISEMENT Now, the Marvel and DC director has shared more details about the highly-anticipated Awesome Mix playlist of Vol...

James Gunn has had quite the last few years. The filmmaker started out in the superhero genre with  Guardians of the Galaxy  and its sequel, projects which transformed obscure names into extremely popular characters. But then came the bump in the road: Gunn was fired from Marvel Studios thanks to a Twitter scandal; many thought that was going to be the end of his career. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. Not only did Disney eventually see the light, but Gunn was also able to create The Suicide Squad  because of it—a project which led to him creating one of the most popular shows of this year in John Cena's  Peacemaker . ADVERTISEMENT Next on his plate will be 2023's  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 , marking his return to Marvel. Gunn has mentioned on multiple occasions that this outing, alongside  The Holiday Special , was going to be his last rodeo with the space-faring misfits. But are there any other characters from either Marvel or DC he...

It’s been a good stretch of time since fans have seen the Guardians of the Galaxy in action, with the last occasion being in Avengers: Endgame . So when can audiences expect to see them next? The band of misfits is set to pop up next in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder film, followed by Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Vol. 3 . With all the appearances that the group has had over the last few years, there is no doubt the gang is good friends off the screen. However, recently Guardians director James Gunn revealed an interesting tidbit to the world: neither Van Diesel nor Bradley Cooper, who have voiced Groot and Rocket repetitively, have ever stepped foot onto one of his sets. ADVERTISEMENT After putting that information out in the world, the inevitable happened: it was misinterpreted. Thankfully, Gunn’s active Twitter habits were there to save the day. False Reports of Cooper and Diesel’s Involvement Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol....

Director James Gunn is in the process of making his third superhero movie for Marvel Studios with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 , set to release in theaters in May 2023. This comes after lending his expertise to DC’s superhero universe on The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker , and he’s far from done in that corner of the world as well. Gunn has regularly showcased his unique style of filmmaking, which he didn’t deviate from when he took on Marvel’s first Guardians of the Galaxy movie in 2014. It almost seemed like a perfect fit at the time thanks to how little fans knew about the heroes before their big-screen debut. ADVERTISEMENT However, even though this movie features some of the most famous heroes in 21st-century pop culture, Gunn doesn’t exactly see them the same way.

In just over a year, James Gunn will be back in the theatrical spotlight with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 , the third and final movie in the trilogy he started back in 2014. As filming continues into 2022 for this threequel, the Guardians' third solo adventure is quickly becoming one of Phase 4's most expansive outings in terms of characters and story alike. While the Guardians' future in the MCU is largely a mystery after this film, Vol. 3 is serving as the end of the story for various storylines featuring the galactic misfits from the last few years. Zoe Saldana has referenced the film serving as an end for the franchise while Dave Bautista hinted that Vol. 3 could be the end of Drax's story within the MCU as well. ADVERTISEMENT Even with this movie completing the Guardians' solo trilogy, it would be somewhat of a shame if none of the film's stars reprised their roles in any future projects post-2023. However, in his most r...

Canon can be a tricky thing in the age of Hollywood mega-franchises. Many debate online over what is and what is not deemed canon and opinions on continuity errors flourish in internet spaces.

Following his impressive run with DC's Peacemaker on HBO Max, director James Gunn is now fully back on board with Marvel Studios for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 . Coming with that return to Marvel Studios will be yet another round of catchy music in the Guardians threequel - a defining trait of Gunn's iconic directorial style.  Fans really wanted to taste it with Gunn's latest stroke of musical genius as he used Wig Wam's "Do Ya Wanna Taste It" as the opening intro music for Peacemaker . Now, the director's impressive knack for using the perfect needle-drops in his work will be seen once again in Guardians Vol. 3 after so many memorable musical moments in his first two Marvel movies.

Superhero movies are easily some of the most-watched films in today’s day and age. Even with so many options for viewing in the genre, it’s no surprise that’s the case. The stories include different types of role models, intense action sequences and visual spectacles, a stunning variety of characters, and endless creativity. There is something, however, that most of them don’t have: sex scenes. This isn’t shocking, seeing as the films are generally meant to be catered to both adults and children at the same time. Recently, however, things have been changing. ADVERTISEMENT Most recently, Chloé Zhao’s Eternals included the very first MCU sex scene proper—something that surprised many people. In other parts of the superhero genre, 2016's  Deadpool had Wade Wilson doing the deed, this year's  Peacemaker got naughty, and 2017's  Wonder Woman got down and dirty. It’s been a slow change, one that legendary filmmaker Steven Soderbergh doesn'...

Director James Gunn is currently enjoying an impressive run in the comic book movie landscape thanks to his time with both Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. The first three episodes of Peacemaker are now airing after he introduced John Cena's character in 2021's The Suicide Squad , and he's currently working on various entries for the MCU's Phase 4, including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 . While the film isn't set to release in theaters until next Spring, Guardians 3 is building plenty of hype as the MCU dives further into its cosmic adventures with the movie's iconic team of misfits.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is a Marvel Studios venture that people have been dying to see for years now. Initially set for release in 2020, audiences now won’t see their favorite band of misfits until May 5, 2023. The last time the crew graced movie screens was at the end of Avengers: Endgame , where Peter Quill and Thor couldn’t agree on leadership. The dynamic between the two of them, and the entire team in general, was always a blast to watch unfold. The God of Thunder and the Guardians seemed like a match made in heaven based on their personalities. ADVERTISEMENT Thor got to spend quality time with some of the crew during the events of Infinity War and Endgame , but it's a dynamic that fans are excited to see play out in future adventures. The next time the group will be together is for Chris Hemsworth’s next solo outing in Thor: Love and Thunder .
