Hopefully, that’s the case here and the “new” Guardians are just as great as the old ones.
James Gunn is already confirmed to make Guardians of the Galaxy 3, which takes place after Infinity War, so whatever changes are implemented will likely carry over into Phase 4.
From Feige’s comments, it sounds like fans will miss out on seeing a key part of the Guardians’ development, which is unfortunate.
Characters like Iron Man and Captain America have resonated thoroughly because audiences have been with them every step of the way.
