Collection of Character Posters for Marvel's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3

Marvel Studios has shared nine new character posters from director James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3! They include Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Sean Gunn as Kraglin, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Bradley Cooper as Rocket, Vin Diesel as Groot, and Maria Bakalova as Cosmo the Spacedog.

There’s a lot of excited anticipation for this film, and while fans are excited to see how the story plays out and comes to an end, they are also wondering who will die in the movie! Gunn previously teased, “We know most of them are going to make it out alive. At least for two movies."

I think the big twist of the story would be if all of the heroes survive! It would certainly make fans happy. But, it sure doesn’t look good for Rocket Raccoon, who the story is going to revolve around.

In Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, “Our beloved band of misfits are settling into life on Knowhere, but it isn't long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket's turbulent past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket's life – a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them."

Gunn previously talked about Rocket and how that character is the reason why he came back to make this third film. He explained:

"One of the reasons why I came back to [make] this movie was because I felt like I needed to tell Rocket's story. I would've been very sad not to complete the trilogy for many reasons, but I just feel very connected to Rocket. I feel like nobody would be able to tell his full story if it wasn't me.

"To me, Rocket has always been the secret protagonist of the Guardians movies. From the beginning, it has been rooted in who he is as a character. I think he exemplifies a lot of the traits of all the Guardians. They've had all these traumas, and it brings them together. I just think that his is more extreme than others.

"He was just fine being an animal, and he was transformed into something else he didn't want to be. I think that transformation itself was extremely painful, but I also think it made him feel incredibly alienated from everyone else. In Vol. 3, we learn a lot about his past — where he came from, who he is, and what he's been through. It's been a difficult road for the little animal.

Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 opens in U.S. theaters on May 5th.
