While on Deadline’sHero Nationpodcastearlier this year, Gunn spoke about the next installmentbeing the last installmentin the franchise featuring Pratt, Saldana and the rest of the team as fans know it.
“This is the end for us, the last time people will see this team of Guardians,” Gunn, 56, said, adding, “It’s so, so big and dark and different from what people might be expecting it to be. I just want to be true to the characters, the story and give people the wrap-up that they deserve for the story.”
“The majority of the last ten years of my life have been spent working on & thinking about the Guardians. I still have a long road ahead of me with VFX & editing, but it was still momentous to me,” continued Gunn.
“It is somewhat simple to explain to others how much I love this cast & crew. It is more difficult to explain how much I love these characters - that I see them as parts of myself & parts of those I love, & filming them, & writing their words, is a way of expressing that love,” he said. “Again, I’ll still be working with them over the next year until release, but shooting that last shot was a reminder of the warm impermanence of life & love, & how that impermanence makes it so precious, so valuable, & is a good reason to be grateful for what I have right now.”
TheGuardians of the Galaxy Holiday Specialdebuts on Disney+ Nov. 25.
