James Gunn Has Confirmed That The ‘Guardians 3’ Script Is Done
By George Robbins
The Marvel Cinematic Universe, better known to most as the MCU, has become an integral part of society these days as the films define what superheroes are in the current medium. It is because of the MCU that we even have other superhero movies today that are as good as they are because this is something that is much more new. Superhero movies themselves are nothing new to the film industry, but the way that heroes end up being represented on screen has changed as time has gone on. The presence of not just the hero, but also excellently well told stories are what make the movies what they are. On top of that we also have the very well done narrative weaving where numerous movies with self-contained plots can be brought together to make a larger scaled narrative. The MCU gave that too us and it will continue to give that to us, hopefully for a long time to come.
Starting with the ‘Iron Man‘ movie, we were given something that we immediately knew had potential and were told that there would be more films like it to follow. From there, it was clear that we would continue to get more and more movies which could attract the general public’s attention and not just comic book fans because the films were just that entertaining. Every movie that followed made it clear that this was not a trend which would end as time went on and we got more films to add to the roster of films we collectively started calling the MCU. Every single film had pieces that crossed over into other films in some way and this made it painfully obvious that everything took place in the same shared cinematic universe. Then, the first ‘Avengers’ movie rolled around and truly gave us the start of a saga which would span the total of over a decade.
After the first ‘Avengers’ movie released, we started getting more characters added to the shared universe which led to more characters being introduced to the general public. Among those characters is a certain group known as the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ who managed to make it onto a movie theater screen thanks to the help of director James Gunn. While definitely not as well known as the characters that had been seen on screen already, the Guardians quickly became fan favorites due to the fact they are just a ragtag bunch of space mercenaries that do whatever they want. While they don’t generally care about others outside of their group, they have a habit of doing the right thing in the end and it makes them heroes in the end. People were very much happy upon finding out that the movie would actually get a sequel aptly called ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.’
Now that the Infinity Saga is over, we are looking to the future for the next ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ film that we all knew was coming because it was announced so long ago. People were worried for a long time as to what would end up happening with the third film after director James Gunn was temporarily fired and the actors all refused to work without him. Fortunately, he was quickly hired back to direct the upcoming third film in the Guardians series, but the damage was already done and the delays were already made. Not that delays really matter now though due to the pandemic, but for the time, it was seriously just an unfortunate turn of events for everybody. Gunn revealed that he now has the complete script for the movie though, so we can look forward to news somewhat soon about when they will start working in earnest and when the movie will be released.
