The Guardians are finally ready to show their new movie as the first trailer The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has finally arrived. The trailer first premiered at Disney and Marvel’s presentation at CCXP 2022 in Brazil. And if that feels like teasing, it should: This is just the beginning of the guard 3 Promotional campaign as the film is not due for release until May 5, 2023.
The trailer is full of all the jokes we’ve come to expect from a Guardians film, but it’s also surprisingly emotional as it summarizes the history of this team and their time together. The trailer teases Rocket Raccoon’s origins and the experiments done on him as a baby that helped make him what he is today, along with Peter Quill attempting to reconnect with Gamora …even if it’s not technically the same one he fell in love with. All of this, of course, happens while the crew tries to get along with the film’s new character, Adam Warlock (played by The Maze Runner and midsummerWill Poulter).
While the Guardians have been a ubiquitous part of the MCU in recent years, they’ve popped up in both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgameas well as this year’s Thor: Love and Thunderbut her last solo appearance on the big screen was back in 2017 with The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. While The Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special may have whetted fans’ appetites, the Threequel is a different beast altogether. One thing that hasn’t changed since then is the creative force behind the series, with James Gunn returning as both writer and director volume 3.
