He also said that the third film of the Guardians franchise is set after the events of Avengers: Endgame , according to Comicbook.com. Disney reinstated Gunn as the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 3 in March 2019, almost a year after he was fired by the Marvel Studios’ parent company after his old, offensive tweets resurfaced on social media. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has yet to set a release. The franchise features Hollywood stars Chris Pratt as Peter Quill aka Star Lord, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Bradley Cooper as Rocket Racoon and Vin Diesel as Groot.
