Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 streaming online (2025)

Christ Pratt and Zoe Saldana return for the Guardian's final adventure

Guardians of The Galaxy Volume 3 was a part of Marvel's Phase V launch and is the trilogy's final instalment. Writer and Director James Gunn was initially fired from making this film due to a controversy. However, he was eventually rehired to complete the trilogy. Apart from directing the other two films in the trilogy, James is also the director of DC's famous franchise, Suicide Squad.

While the film continues to have the same director as its two predecessors, this movie's soundtrack is composed by John Murphy, making it the only film in the series to not feature music from composer Tyler Bates.

Chris Pratt reprises his role as Star-Lord alongside Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Vin Diesel as Groot, Bradley Cooper as Rocket and Karen Gillan as Nebula. The movie will also explore the arc of a powerful cosmic being, Adam Warlock, portrayed by actor Will Poulter, the character teased in the post-credit scene at the end of Volume 2.

This film marks the longest gap between the first and third films in an MCU trilogy, 8 years & 10 months. However, MCU did release Guardians of The Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney+ Hotstar in December 2022 to give fans a glimpse of their beloved galaxy guardians.

Guardians of the Galaxy released across Indian cinemas on 5th May, 2023.
