The best thing I saw at Comic-Con last weekend was the director’s trailer James Gunn shared for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. That footage was absolutely stunning and super emotional. As I watch it, I think I’m not ready for what’s to come because it’s going to be an emotional roller coaster and I have no doubt some of these Guardian characters won’t make it out alive. By the end of the trailer, almost everyone in Hall H had tears streaming down their face. When you finally see the trailer, you will know why.
This was a trailer that wasn’t released for the rest of the world to watch online. Marvel and Gunn have decided to hold back for the moment because there are unfinished effects shots that want to be completed before doing so. Gunn actually took to Twitter to explain when a fan asked about it:
“I wish you could have it [seen it] also. But it’s not just Marvel, it’s me too. While I love the teaser, some visual effects aren’t where I’d like them to be for repeated views and close inspection – remember we didn’t finish that long ago – so you’ll just have to wait a moment! Sorry!”
This is completely understandable. One day you will see it! Some of the key moments in the trailer included Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) reuniting with Gamora (Zoe Saldana). She’s trying so hard to recover the relationship that she lost, but she doesn’t have it. There are some great moments between these characters that are both heartfelt and funny.
One of the most important aspects of the trailer focused on Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) and its tragic past. Let’s see a couple of young versions of Rocket that will melt your heart. It has been said that this film will focus on Rocket’s story, and this trailer has definitely confirmed that and his relationship with the movie’s villain, the High Evolutionary, played by the Peacemaker star. Chukwudi Iwuji.
Iwuji actually showed up in Hall H at Comic-Con all dressed up in his costume and character, which was pretty impressive! It will be great!
The trailer also includes a first look Will Poulter like Adam Warlock, and Maria Bakalov like Cosmo the space dog. I guess these two characters are also linked to the High Evolutionary. We also got to see Groot in his prime and he looks cool!
There is a moment in the trailer that shows Star-Lord crying and screaming in deep despair. I don’t know what’s going on there, but it’s definitely not good.
I can’t wait for all of you to watch this trailer and see what Gunn has in store for this movie! The film is also the protagonist Dave Battista like Drax the Destroyer, vin Diesel like Groot, Karen Gillan as a Nebula, Pom Clementeeff like Mantis, Sean Gunn like Kraglin, and Elizabeth Debicki like Ayesha.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be released in theaters on May 5, 2023.
I wish you could have it too. But it’s not just Marvel, it’s me too. While I love the teaser, some visual effects aren’t where I’d like them to be for repeated views and close inspection – remember we didn’t finish that long ago – so you’ll just have to wait a moment! Sorry! https://t.co/NAz0gIedo8
