While on the Red Carpet for the MTV Awards, Chris Pratt revealed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the next installment in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, may end up being a prequel, or at least may take place before Avengers: Infinity War.
Unfortunately, the director and screenwriter of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 James Gunn has stated that the movie will take place after Avengers: Infinity War.
While there was only a two month gap between Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, there was a massive four year gap between Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War.
Chris Pratt’s comments may still have some truth to them, though, as it would make sense for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to take place before Avengers: Infinity War.
