How to watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 online on Disney Plus: Streaming release date and time

(L to R) Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Chris Pratt as Star-Lord and Karen Gillan as Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 trailer

The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 finally soars onto Disney Plus this week, ending the 88 day wait since James Gunn's farewell to his crew hit theaters back in May. 

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Disney Plus release date and time

GotG Vol. 3 debuts Wednesday (Aug. 2) at 3 a.m. ET / 12 a.m. PT / 8 a.m. BST / 6 p.m. AEDT on Disney Plus.
It has a runtime of 2 hours and 32 seconds.

So while you wait for the next upcoming Marvel movie (that's The Marvels), now's a good a time as any to watch the most recent MCU film. And, unlike the movie that came before it (sorry: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania), this film doesn't suffer from horrendous visuals.

Instead, director James Gunn provides an emotionally and visually stimulating movie, because he knows you need both at this level. 

The story here starts off in the present-day MCU, where Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) is emotionally comatose because the Gamora (Zoe Saldaña) in his life isn't the one who loves him (remember: she died back in Infinity War, so Thanos could get the Soul Stone on Vormir). 

But instead of a healthy distraction, Star-Lord gets a crisis. Adam Warlock (Will Poulter) finally shows up, and pretty much sends Rocket (Bradley Cooper) to the ICU. But in order for our heroes to save their diminutive friends, they need to go back to where his story began. That means tracking down The High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji), the maniacal tinkerer who transformed a kind animal into a talking genius who loves to steal.

Here's how to watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on Disney Plus:
