Things could change when Paramount Skydance completes its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, but that&#8217;s likely still years away.<\/p>\n<p>That closes the door on Gunn returning to the MCU for the foreseeable future, meaning a different writer and director will potentially be tasked with continuing the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbr.com\/james-gunns-marvel-cast-talk-the-possibility-of-guardians-of-the-galaxy-4\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CBR<\/a> was recently in attendance at the\u00a0Emerald City Comic-Con, where Michael Rooker (Yondu), Sean Gunn (Kraglin), and\u00a0Pom Klementieff (Mantis) were all on hand to discuss a possible Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4 from Marvel Studios.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Klementieff started.\u00a0&#8220;We never talked about a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4. It was always imagined as a trilogy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gunn, who has since joined the DCU as multiple characters, including G.I. Robot and Maxwell Lord, weighed in to say, &#8220;In some ways, it&#8217;s almost like a little above my pay grade. It&#8217;s like, if they decide to do it, if they decide that they can put the pieces together and get the right cast, and get a script that they really like and that works, then it would depend on who wrote that script and who was putting it together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And by that point, there would probably already be somebody who was part of it, so I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; he continued, clearly unsure of whether he&#8217;d continue playing Kraglin\u2014and the on-set Rocket\u2014without his brother calling the shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yondu is dead and gone, of course, but returned for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special\u00a0for a flashback following his\u00a0Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2\u00a0send-off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The third one was incredible, but also heartbreaking because we knew it would be the last one, so it&#8217;s really special that way,&#8221; Rooker mused. &#8220;The Christmas special was so fun to shoot, so I just loved it so much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank goodness it didn&#8217;t go on further.\u00a0It would become like The Walking Dead,&#8221; he said of the series that expanded with multiple spin-offs. &#8220;Please, enough already.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Klementieff later shared her belief that\u00a0Guardians of the Galaxy&#8217;s\u00a0characters &#8220;could still appear in another movie as well,&#8221;\u00a0pointing to the Avengers franchise as what could &#8220;maybe like a big universe-bending crossover.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe that the door is closed on the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, even if Gunn has left some pretty big shoes to fill. Vol. 3 wrapped up by promising that the Legendary Star-Lord, at least, would return, but when and where Chris Pratt will reprise the role still\u00a0isn&#8217;t clear.<\/p>\n<p>With rumours swirling that Nova and Annihilus will be introduced in the MCU&#8217;s next Saga, chances are the Guardians will be among those who assemble to face down the threat of the Annihilation Wave.<\/p>\n<p>Who would you like to see at the helm of another Guardians of the Galaxy movie?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As of now, there&#8217;s nothing to suggest that Superman director James Gunn doesn&#8217;t intend to remain in charge&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,163690,85,46,397],"class_list":["post-332216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-4","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
