by Some crucial information on what will happen to one fan favourite character in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has been revealed in a new narrative summary.
In addition to Star-Lord, James Gunn recently asserted that Rocket the Racoon is the undiscovered protagonist of the Guardians of the Galaxy series.
This is unsurprising given that Gunn has admitted to feeling a “special closeness to the character” and that he felt compelled to wrap up Rocket’s tale before the filmmaker formally exits the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Before this MCU saga comes to a close, more surprises are in store. The last Guardians movie promises to be a Rocket-centric tearjerker.
Trouble for the Guardian Rocket the Racoon, a fan favourite
Before Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is released later this year, Disney released a new description.
It has been hinted that Chris Pratt’s Star-lord, also known as Peter Quill, is still in shock following the events of Avengers: Endgame, in which he lost his beloved Gamora (Zoe Saldaa).
The protagonist will need to “rally his team around him” in order to stop losing another team member, even if he is still in mourning.
“Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission.”
The Guardians must go on “on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life,” according to the narrative.
“To save Rocket’s life—a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.”
The stakes are higher than ever; failing to do so could spell “the end of the Guardians as we know them” if he loses Rocket.
This summary follows one that was presented with the movie’s trailer last month.
Fans were informed that while Peter was still in shock from losing Gamora, he now had to “rally his team… to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own“
Rocket the Racoon is the “one of their own,” as mentioned in the initial synopsis, according to Marvel Studios.
This may not come as a surprise considering how prominent the film’s trailer and other promotional materials have made Rocket’s tumultuous history.
“In Marvel Studios’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ our beloved band of misfits are settling into life on Knowhere. But it isn’t long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket’s turbulent past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life—a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.”
A Guardians of the Galaxy Finale Powered by Rockets
The MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy films have a reputation for being some of its more dramatic entries. Universal themes of family and friendship are explored on an epic scale in each episode.
These franchise hallmarks don’t appear to be changing, as James Gunn has stated that the conclusion will be “much more mature” than the franchise’s earlier entries.
The trailer gave viewers a preview of the moving story to come, showing Peter Quill sobbing furiously over an unidentified event and perhaps questioning how important this final mission is.
After all, he is still having trouble accepting the death of Gamora, and it appears that the fans will soon be saying farewell to yet another relative.
Drax and Rocket appear to be near the top of the list of people who might be lost in the future film, according to fan speculation on who this might be.
Dave Bautista, who plays Drax in the MCU, has already announced his departure from the role, saying that while he likes the character, he “[doesn’t] know whether [he] wants[s] Drax to be [his] legacy.”
But throughout the entire franchise, Rocket has undergone the most development, and Marvel has already made several indications that he might be the one who got away. He’s “done running,” as he states in the movie trailer.
Fans will have to wait a little while longer to say farewell, but James Gunn has confirmed that there will be at least one significant death in the movie.
On May 5, 2023, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will hit theatres.
