Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 brings one of the most beloved franchises in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to a close. Director and screenwriter James Gunn assures you tearful farewell. It is definitely the last film by this Guardians team.
Which stars finally quit? Which characters die? And who’s still hoping to continue appearing in the MCU? We examine the eight most important stars the Guardians series:
Final farewell in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 from Drax the Destroyer
In a big interview with GQ, Drax actor Dave Bautista revealed that he needs new challenges. Marvel would have missed a great opportunity to keep Drax as a fun and planned sidekick. The make-up process was very exhausting and Bautista wants to devote himself to more serious roles.
Guardians of the Galaxy creator James Gunn has already announced that an important figure will die.

Dave Bautista as Drax
However, it is not known whether this will really be Drax. Either way, Bautista wouldn’t be returning to his role as Drax, unlike fellow Marvel player Michael Rooker.
Final farewell in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 by mastermind James Gunn
James Gunn directed and wrote the screenplays for all three Guardians of the Galaxy films. While the Guardians degree isn’t even out in theaters yet, it is busy again. Namely as co-boss at the comic competition DC.
He plans the next phase of the DC Universe and is writing and directing the film Superman: Legacy.
In Danger in Guardians of the Galaxy 3: Rocket Raccoon
The bad-tempered, genetically modified raccoon Rocket was a big favorite of Marvel film fans right from the start. The Guardians finale seems to be to focus on his past and to give him more space for emotional development. At least that’s what the trailers suggest.

Rocket Racoon
As Movie Web notes, Rocket meets his soulmate Lylla in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and is fed up with running from his past. That sounds like that perfect structure for a sad but forgiving farewell a troubled soul.
James Gunn assured that Guardians 3 will be a lot darker than we expect. Dark enough to kill the fluffiest Guardians member?
There is hope for more MCU appearances for Star-Lord, Gamora, Groot, Nebula and Mantis
According to Marvel boss Kevin Feige, the MCU should like to exist for 80 years. So there will still be ample opportunity for the Guardians cast to appear in other films after their series has ended.
gamora and groot have already died once within the MCU and come back in changed form. Dramaturgically speaking, another death in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 makes no sense.
Peter Quill aka Star Lord is almost certain: in the trailer we see him unconscious in the arms of Nebula. The rule is: If things are bad for you in the trailer, you survive the film. Marvel in particular is a master of deception when it comes to promo material.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3: Unconscious Star-Lord
Also nebula and manti don’t have an extended role in the film, according to the trailers. Nebula has had a lot of emotional focus in the Guardians series, and Mantis has a close connection with Drax. With Drax saying goodbye, Mantis is presumably staying to add weight to the goodbye.
However, this is pure speculation. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 launches on May 3, 2023 in German cinemas. Before you head to the cinema, make sure you’ve packed enough tissues for the tearful conclusion to what might be the best MCU series.
