Gunn could still very well rally to the cause and end up producing the next entry in the franchise, but for now Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will have to suffice for die-hard fans and general moviegoers come May 2017.
Featuring acclaimed Hollywood action star Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight) as – reportedly – the father of Peter “Star-Lord” Quill (Chris Pratt), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has only just recently wrapped filming.
Until then, fans can look forward to at least one more adventure with “Star-Lord” and company from Gunn in 2017.
Of all the Phase 3 Marvel Cinematic Universe films yet to see theatrical release, writer/director James Gunn’s forthcoming franchise sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is among the most highly anticipated by die-hard comic book fans and general audiences alike.
