While James Gunn has confirmed in the recent past that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 doesn’t tie into any existing Marvel franchise, it could very well use its post-credit scene to set the events of Avengers: Infinity War into motion.
And it has already been confirmed that Star-Lord and his Guardians of the Galaxy will be part of the show.
Infinity War is said to contain upward of 60 Marvel characters.
Marvel is utilizing his star power, and as it turns out, he may be the driving force in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War. At least, if we’re to believe the latest rumors about this Marvel adventure.
