Since the Guardians are just a few of the heavy hitters appearing in Avengers: Infinity War, they obviously won’t be snagging the spotlight all to themselves, but it will be interesting to see what Joe and Anthony Russo do to make them stand out from the crowd.
Plus, like Zoe Saldana said, Gunn will still be involved to make sure his “babies” are treated properly.
Although the Guardians of the Galaxy existed in the Marvel comics universe long before the movie came out (both in their classic and modern incarnations), James Gunn definitely popularized them for casual moviegoers and even some hardcore comic book fans, to the point that it’s hard not to picture him when they’re mentioned.
