We knew Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was a lock, but we didn’t know it was director James Gunn‘s dream movie to work on. In a series of tweets, Gunn confirmed his excitement for the 3rd movie in the franchise (which will be the final film for this iteration of the team) would be coming out in 2020. Gunn goes on to explain he will not include any of the latest Guardians (as Kitty Pryde and The Thing are now available via the 20th Century Fox acquisition) or the older Guardians in this third film.

As of today, I wouldn’t find adding any of those characters interesting. I really am more of a fan of the Abnett/Lanning stuff as opposed to the stuff that came after the movie or first screenplay. https://t.co/6XdrYtGv1s
