The much-awaited MCU movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, is all set to release in cinemas this Friday, May 5, 2023, in the United States. The third installment featuring the Guardians is the second film in the MCU’s ambitious Phase 5.
Ahead of its release, it feels unreal to think that James Gunn’s last film featuring the Guardians almost didn’t happen. Marvel wanted to keep the characters for more movies, but Gunn’s plan for a trilogy was in danger when he was fired over some old tweets that cracked bad jokes.
Let’s be real, the tweets were quite problematic, but they didn’t mean any harm, and soon many Guardians fans and even the actors and crew supported Gunn and asked for him to come back and finish his work. Luckily, they got what they wanted, and James Gunn returned to make Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
The galaxy’s best-loved bunch of oddballs has experienced a lot since we saw them last. They have battled a living world, seen most of the team vanish after Thanos’ Snap and then come back to fight his army, and even joined Thor on some quests.
Their decade long journey has made the unusual group of characters go from being unknowns to being adored by fans and a key part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As per latest reports and several bits of promotional material, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is scheduled to be released in the United States on Friday, May 5, 2023, as part of Phase Five of the MCU. The film will also release in other parts of the world on the same date.
After its theatrical release, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be available for streaming on Disney+ with all other MCU movies.

Vol. 3 will be a largely emotional journey, focusing mainly on Rocket’s origins and his history with High Evolutionary, the main antagonist in the film.
The film will also feature Rocket’s long-time love interest from the Marvel comics, Lylla. The trailers also have a short glimpse of Adam Warlock from the comics though his role in the film is a total mystery.
Gamora will also return in the third installment, albeit from another dimension as the one in the OG universe was killed by Thanos in Infinity War.
Though the MCU officials have remained quiet about the details of Vol. 3’s plot, James Gunn mentioned that the film is largely about self-acceptance. Read what he said below –
[QUOTE: In the first one Peter Quill is coming to terms with his relationship with his mother, which is the person he loved the most in the world. In Vol 2, he’s coming to terms with his relationship with his father. The one he thought he wanted wasn’t the one he wanted, and the one he had was better than what he thought it was. The third one is about getting to accept yourself. Who are we really? And how are we okay?You know, Mantis even says it one time in the movie; most of them don’t like themselves very much. They all have issues with themselves. Nebula has issues with herself. Peter Quill has issues with himself. Mantis, Kraglin, they all do. And Rocket, most of all. So I think that’s what this movie is about, above and beyond anything else. ]
The return of the Guardians comes with a sense of nostalgia for MCU fans, especially those who lost interest in the franchise after the Infinity Saga.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will most likely be reminiscent of the MCU that many of us grew up with and laughed, cried and celebrated like kids. This is the reason why this film means a lot to many of us and has a different kind of emotion attached to it.
I personally also feel that it is a good decision to keep the Guardians saga as a trilogy and not extent it beyond a certain point. This story will have a different nostalgic appeal to it and the fact that we will most likely not get a Vol. 4 will add to its emotional value.
I am not sure about you, but I am looking forward to another Friday for an MCU release after long. Let’s hope you feel the same. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 hits theaters on Friday, May 5, 2023.
