Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is a 2023 American superhero movie produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The film is the final installment in the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, and the 32nd movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Written and directed by James Gunn, the movie features a star-studded cast, including Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Will Poulter, Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Linda Cardellini, Nathan Fillion, and Sylvester Stallone.
The story follows the Guardians as they embark on a mission to protect Rocket from the High Evolutionary. Gunn had initial ideas for a third film in 2014 and announced his return to write and direct in 2017. He was briefly fired in 2018 but was reinstated in 2019 after completing other projects. Filming began in 2021 and lasted until May 2022. The movie premiered in Disneyland Paris on April 22, 2023, and was released in the United States on May 5, 2023, as part of Phase Five of the MCU.
When Will Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Be on Disney?
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 does not currently have a confirmed release date on Disney+. It may be released on Disney+ on June 21, 2023. The release strategy for Marvel movies on Disney+ differs from that of Black Widow, which had a simultaneous release in theaters and on the streaming platform. This approach was a unique response to global restrictions at the time.
While the specific date for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 on Disney+ is unknown, we can look at the release patterns of other Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films for some clues. For instance, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is scheduled to arrive on streaming platforms three months after its theatrical release. Similarly, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever took 82 days to make its way to streaming services.
Another upcoming film, Thor: Love and Thunder, is also expected to have a three-month gap between its theatrical release and availability on streaming platforms. Therefore, while the exact Disney+ release date for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 remains uncertain, we can anticipate a similar timeframe as other recent MCU films, with a likely gap of around three months between the theatrical and streaming releases.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 Plot
The Guardians of the Galaxy are attacked by a Sovereign warrior named Adam, who seriously wounds Rocket, and flees after being stabbed by Nebula. The Guardians cannot tend to Rocket's wounds due to a kill switch made by Orgocorp, so they travel to the company's headquarters to find an override code. While Rocket is unconscious, he recalls his past as a baby raccoon who was experimented on by the High Evolutionary. The Guardians, along with the Ravagers and Gamora, infiltrate Orgocorp to retrieve Rocket's file but discover that the code is missing.
They head to Counter-Earth to find the code, where they are followed by Ayesha and Adam. The High Evolutionary initiates the destruction and planned recreation of Counter-Earth, but the Guardians manage to retrieve the code and save Rocket's life. In the end, the Guardians go on a new mission, Quill reunites with his grandfather, and the rescued children are raised by Nebula and Drax.
