James Gunn is sure he can close the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy with dignity. The director assures that there is usually an unconfirmed, or official rule that third parties are never good at. The foregoing makes the upcoming volume 3 of the galactic team a challenge that would be doomed to failure. However, his director believes that he has done his best to ensure that this is not the case.
while talking to Entertainment Weekly about his latest contribution to the Marvel universe, he reiterated that he had a special interest in making this film. There are many factors that can become so that the director now pays special attention. First, because it will be the last thing he does for the MCU before fully entering the daunting task of composing the DC universe. Then there’s Rocket’s origin story, which we’ll get to know in depth. But above all, the challenge of closing with a flourish to achieve a perfect trilogy influences.
“The number of good thirds in a trilogy, I can count on one hand,” Gunn said. «Basically, there is the series Before Sunrise. The Lord of the rings. Perhaps spider-man. But there aren’t too many good third parties.”
However, James Gunn promises that he did everything possible so that Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 It was worthy of appearing alongside the previous ones. The character dynamics and scale is what will make the difference this time around.
“This is the biggest,” he commented. “This is where things really happen. This is where we learn the truth about who these characters are, and we face the biggest stakes.”
One of those big bets will be the history of Rocket. Here we will know the origin story of the raccoon mercenary. Which is tragic and distressing only on paper. An innocent raccoon who goes from being an animal to a genetically altered war machine.
«For me, Rocket has always been the secret protagonist of the movies of the Guardians»Gunn continued. “From the beginning, it’s been ingrained in who he is as a character. I think he exemplifies many of the traits of all Guardians. They’ve had all these traumas, and that brings them together. I just think his is more extreme than others.”
Ever since the first official trailer dropped, fans have feared for Rocket’s well-being. Many consider it prudent to prepare the handkerchiefs, because said character’s arc may find its closure here. However it happens, the truth is that Guardians of the Galaxy will find a kind of closure after this third episode.
“I feel very good [con el volumen 3] because I think I’ve done everything possible to make this trilogy the best it can be,” he concluded. And I feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have had all these people around me to do it. It is the greatest blessing of my life.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 It will hit theaters on May 5, 2023.
