New teaser for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2, James Gunn confirmed for Vol. 3

Check out the new teaser for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 and find out more about James Gunn directing Vol. 3!

The latest teaser for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 reminds us that the movie is hitting theaters in 17, now 16, days and apparently there are still tickets left! But don’t tell Marvel that I usually don’t have problems getting tickets the night of, but still, the really good theaters are probably selling out like crazy.

But the really good news coming out lately is that James Gunn, who directed both the Guardians movies, has officially been signed to write and direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!

So, after many months of ruminations and discussions, I know the answer. I could save this answer for the first, random interviewer to ask me during the press junket but instead I thought I’d share it with the most important people in the Guardiansverse – you, the fans, who have been so incredibly supportive and enthusiastic over the past five years, it has moved me to tears on a regular basis.

So, yes, I’m returning to write and direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

In the end, my love for Rocket, Groot, Gamora, Star-Lord, Yondu, Mantis, Drax, and Nebula – and some of the other forthcoming heroes – goes deeper than you guys can possibly imagine, and I feel they have more adventures to go on and things to learn about themselves and the wonderful and sometimes terrifying universe we all inhabit. And, like in both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, we will work on creating the story that goes beyond what you expect.

My partnership with the folks at Marvel Studios – Kevin Feige, Lou D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Jonathan Schwartz – has been the best of my professional career, and is a huge contributing factor to my decision – as is my relationship to the guys at Disney Studios – Bob Iger, Alan Horn, and Alan Bergman – who have been cheerleading innovation and the pure love of movies from the start. This is the kind of thing you’d expect a director to say about the people who have just hired him, but people who know me know I would never put up working with people I don’t like for a single movie, much less two, and much, much less three. I love them all and appreciate immensely their collaboration. I wake up every day pinching myself that they’d allow this punk rock kid from Missouri to help create this wonderful universe, and to not only allow but encourage creative freedom while doing so.

I can’t fricking wait to get started.
