Guardians of the Galaxy 3 plot and cast details
The plot of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will focus on Peter Quill (Star-Lord) and his fellow Guardians, comprised of Drax, Nebula, Mantis, Cosmo the Spacedog, Groot and Rocket, who have acquired Knowhere. They go up against a new villain known as the High Evolutionary, who has ties to Rocket's mysterious past.
Along the way, Quill and his ragtag team must contend with an alternate timeline version of Gamora from Avengers: Endgame, who is now the leader of the Ravagers. Quill will thus also be forced to deal with his unresolved anger and sadness following the death of the Gamora version in Avengers: Infinity War.
The official synopsis for Guardians of the Galaxy 3 reads:
"In Marvel Studios Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 our beloved band of misfits are looking a bit different these days. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own. A mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them."
The following actors will serve as the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy 3:
- Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord
- Zoe Saldana as Gamora
- Dave Bautista as Drax
- Karen Gillan as Nebula
- Pom Klementieff as Mantis
- Vin Diesel as Groot
- Bradley Cooper as Rocket
- Elizabeth Debicki as Ayesha
- Will Poulter as Adam Warlock
- Maria Bakalova as Cosmo the Spacedog
- Chukwudi Iwuji as High Evolutionary
- Dee Bradley Baker as Blurp
Additionally, Sylvester Stallone and Michael Rosenbaum will appear in the film as Stakar Ogord and Martinex, reprising their roles from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Daniela Melchior, Nico Santos, and Asim Chaudhry will also appear in the film in undisclosed roles.
Nathan Fillion is also set to make a cameo appearance in the film. The actor had previously appeared in the first Guardians of the Galaxy as a prisoner in the Klyn. He also had a cut cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 where he would have played Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man.
As of now, it remains to be seen if any of the Guardians, aside from Dave Bautista's Drax who confirmed that Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will be his final appearance as the character, will appear in any future installments.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is written and directed by James Gunn. It serves as the second film of Marvel's Phase Five.
