Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is James Gunn’s Marvel swan song – and what an exit it is. Rounding out a stellar run for one of the MCU’s best-loved teams, the conclusion to the trilogy is an achingly heartfelt, hilarious, and enjoyable adventure. It also signifies a painful goodbye, and not just to our beloved bunch of A-holes.
After 10 years helming one of the key franchises at the heart of Marvel, Gunn is off to DC Studios to kick start their new phase of storytelling with producer and co-CEO Peter Safran. It’s a big loss for Kevin Feige and co. as Gunn is behind one of the most cohesive pieces of storytelling in the MCU oeuvre to date.
