Guardians 3: Why James Gunn Made Hundreds Of Versions Of The Blockbuster For Its Release In Theaters

Zoe Saldana and Chris Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Following a strong critical response, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is likely one of the most highly anticipated of the upcoming Marvel movies. It marks the end of one of the most compelling corners of MCU storytelling and based on everything we know about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, it is likely to draw more than a few tears from the audience that has gone on an incredible journey with the characters. However, Guardians 3 is a big movie in another way, as there are apparently more than 600 different versions of the film, each one designed to give the audience the best possible experience for their environment. 

These days fans have countless options when it comes to deciding how to see a movie in theaters. There are large format screens like IMAX and there’s the option to 3D Or Not 3D. Even when it comes to the more “traditional” exhibition, there are different screens designed for different aspect ratios. If you want to have the best possible theatrical experience, there’s often a “best choice” but THR reports that director James Gunn crafted more than 600 different versions of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 so that anybody seeing the movie anyway would get the best possible version for their theater.
