The anticipation is finally over. Disney, in collaboration with Marvel, has confirmed the streaming date for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on Disney+ to be August 2. Regardless of whether you’ve watched the action-packed spectacle on the big screen or are preparing to experience it for the first time, the last part of James Gunn’s Guardians saga is a must-see. The exciting announcement was delivered through a TV spot, with Star-Lord, played by Chris Pratt, instructing the audience and the team to “wait”, then enthusiastically signaling “go!” with a montage of the film’s most memorable scenes following his command.
Having hit cinemas on May 5, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 served as a vital recovery for Disney and Marvel Studios, after the box office disappointment caused by the much-anticipated yet underperforming Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Even though both films represent the third installment of their respective franchises, the audience showed a higher anticipation for the final act and the quirky humor of the cosmic misfits. With an impressive earning of over $805 million globally, the movie surpassed the 2014 original, while the second film in the series still holds the record with $869 million.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 delves deeper into Rocket Raccoon’s (Bradley Cooper) harrowing past, with the crew racing against time to save him. With the alternate version of Gamora (Zoe Saldaña) joining them following the events of Avengers: Endgame, the squad regroups, funnier than ever, as they strive to save not just Rocket, but several others at the mercy of the High Evolutionary’s (Chukwudi Iwuji) fury. The movie features the usual comedic banter from Drax (Dave Bautista), Nebula (Karen Gillan), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), and Groot (Vin Diesel), with other stars such as Nathan Fillion, Will Poulter, Sean Gunn, Sylvester Stallone, Maria Bakalova, and Daniela Melchior joining the cast for their final
