In 2014, James Gunn introduced a rag tag team of misfits travelling in space who were not at all famous with the general audiences. In fact these characters were unknown amongst comic book readers as well. However, with the first film the Guardians of the Galaxy made a name for themselves. The first two films in the franchise worked very well as they explored the interpersonal relations between all the characters. It had a great emotional quotient where we understood all the characters a lot more. After this, the characters’ journeys were continued in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame and Thor: Love and Thunder to some extent. We haven’t had a GOTG movie for over 5 years now, although we did get a Holiday Special just last year and it was the best thing Marvel has come out with in Phase 4. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is releasing next month and it is the final movie in the Guardians franchise, this means that this is the last time we’ll see most these characters. So, to mark their farewell Marvel has arranged a little surprise for the fans.
