The latest teaser for next month’s MCU sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, reminds us how we got here as we all prepare to say our goodbyes to this iteration of the titular team. Released courtesy of Marvel Entertainment, the teaser offers a few glimpses of new footage, including the villainous High Evolutionary and a few more jokes, while evoking memories of some of the most emotional moments in the franchise. Check out the new teaser for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 below.

“It’s time to say goodbye,” reads a caption alongside the new teaser. The Guardians of the Galaxy threequel will pick up with our beloved band of misfits 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.

“This is the end for us, the last time people will see this team of Guardians,” returning director James Gunn said of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. “It’s big; it’s so, so big and dark, and different from what people might be expecting it to be.”

With all this in mind, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is likely to be one of the most emotional outings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans have already begun to wonder who will die in the sequel, with many placing their bets on both Drax and Rocket, while the returning stars have teased just how emotional the experience has been for them.

“It was really emotional. It was really emotional for so many reasons that it would take too long in this interview to even get into,” Chris Pratt, who has played Peter Quill aka Star-Lord since the first Guardians of the Galaxy back in 2014, said of the final outing. “But it just was emotional. It was a lot of gratitude around the fact that James Gunn actually directed it and was able to do that. Just grateful that he even gave me the job to begin with. It felt gratifying, knowing that critics had said that it would likely be the first Marvel movie to bomb. And what was that gonna be like, to be the first Marvel movie to not be successful? To take these characters that no one knew, and now have them be household names, and to be part of that, and to have rides around the world.”

Written and directed by James Gunn, who will depart the MCU and take the lead of the newly emerging DCU, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will feature a large ensemble cast that includes Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Will Poulter, Elizabeth Debicki, Maria Bakalova, and Sylvester Stallone.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is scheduled to be released on May 5, 2023, as part of Phase Five of the MCU.
