It’s always the way with superhero movies these days. You’re waiting patiently for a movie, say Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and bam a sequel to that has been confirmed before you’ve even laid eyes on the second movie. That’s the case again with the Guardians franchise as director James Gunn has all but confirmed the Guardians threequel, but he’s not sure if he’ll be directing it.

Speaking to Complex, Gunn opened up about whether we’re getting Guardians 3, “There will be a Guardians 3, that's for sure... I got to figure out where I want to be, what I want to spend the next three years of my life doing. You know, I'm going to make another big movie; is it the Guardians or something else? I'm just going to figure it out over the next couple of weeks.”

A Gunn-less Guardians would be a pretty bitter pill for Marvel to swallow with his vision for the franchise going above and beyond what was previously expected, but here’s hoping he stays on for one last rodeo.

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
