From Gunn’s perspective, more importance needs to be placed on what’s happening in the moment rather than what’s coming up in the future.
While discussing all things Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn provided the above thoughts to Fandango about people already becoming hyped over Guardians of the Galaxy 3, wisely pointing out that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hasn’t even been released yet.
Why start obsessing over the third movie when you haven’t even seen the second movie and formed an opinion in it?
In other words, wait until you’re actually seated to watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 before you start building up anticipation for a third movie that’s at least three years away, if not longer depending on where it will be placed in Phase Four.
