Keep in mind when Avengers: Endgame didn’t have an end-credits scene? It was a semi-shocking second as a result of the Marvel Cinematic Universe had been so dependent on them for so long. That point although, the movie was, as evidenced by the title, an ending. There was no must tease what was subsequent.
The identical may very well be mentioned for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is now in theaters. Regardless of the movie solely being the second launch in Marvel’s Part 5, writer-director James Gunn has made it very clear that is his final movie with the Guardians and the final time this workforce will likely be collectively on display screen. If you happen to’ve seen the film, it delivers on those promises. However Gunn, who has made incredible use of end-credit scenes within the earlier Guardians movies, needed to do it once more. And so, although it definitely didn’t want end-credit scenes, the film has two—they usually set the desk for what’s to return.
Scene one options Rocket, a a lot bigger Groot, Adam Warlock, Cosmo, Kraglin, and Phyla, a younger woman from the Excessive Evolutionary’s ship, all sitting down someplace. They’re carrying Guardians outfits, making it abundantly clear that this, proper right here, is the brand new workforce of Guardians. Are there extra? We don’t know. However after a hilarious dialogue about their favourite music, this new set of Guardians will get prepared to guard a city from a swarm of evil creatures. Simply Guardians doing Guardian stuff. Which, after all, implies that this workforce might definitely present up in future MCU motion pictures. And, in case you go by the comics, Warlock and Phyla particularly are simply bursting on the seams with future story prospects.
And, after all, the tune that Rocket picks to play for this battle is “Come and Get Your Love” by Redbone, the tune Peter Quill listened to on the very starting of the very first Guardians. (I’m not crying, you’re crying.)
In order that’s what’s up with Rocket, Groot, and the Guardians of the Galaxy. And whereas the futures of Mantis, Drax, Gamora and Nebula are all type of defined within the movie (Mantis will likely be going off by herself, Gamora is again with the Ravagers, Drax and Nebula will oversee Knowhere), one different big-time Guardian continues to be left hanging: Peter.
Peter, as we noticed within the film, determined to return to Earth and reunite together with his grandfather. It’s a really touching second and the right ending for that character. An actual full-circle second. Nevertheless, the second end-credit scene provides us a tiny bit extra. It exhibits Peter and Grandpa on the kitchen desk, speaking about their neighbors. Additionally, Grandpa’s newspaper has an article in it about Kevin Bacon’s alien abduction, a wink again to the Vacation Particular.
And whereas the dialog about mowing lawns is humorous, it’s not as vital as what occurs subsequent. “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return” comes on display screen, letting us know that whereas the Guardians of the Galaxy as we’ve identified them are accomplished, Chris Pratt as Star-Lord just isn’t. (Which he’s actually been saying in interviews too.)
However will he be one of many Guardians? Will he return to being a Ravager? Will he workforce up with Gamora once more and pressure a brand new relationship? Or might he keep on Earth and be one of many Avengers? We’re guessing not even Kevin Feige is aware of for positive. All we all know is that, whereas James Gunn is gone, Star-Lord continues to be on the desk.
