Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 made its long-awaited return to theaters on May 5, six years after the second installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise premiered in 2017. As of July 7, it became available on digital and will be made streamable at a later date.

Per the official synopsis for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the movie follows Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) as he is "still reeling from the loss of Gamora" (which happened in 2018's Avengers: Infinity War). However, he "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."

In addition to Pratt, fans can expect to see plenty of familiar faces reprising their roles, like Zoe Saldaña as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax and Bradley Cooper as Rocket. Other returning cast members include Gillan as Nebula, Klementieff as Mantis, Vin Diesel as Groot and Sean Gunn as Kraglin Obfonteri.

The film is sure to have fans' emotions running high because it will mark the third and final movie of the MCU franchise. Director James Gunn confirmed the news in 2022, the year the cast wrapped filming.

"I love this amazing cast & crew & their beautiful talent & kind souls. I'm a lucky human to have them on the journey with me for nearly a decade," he wrote on Instagram after an 8-year run creating Guardians movies.

The director previously said, "I'm aware that the third film in most trilogies sucks," before saying that was "not always" the case. "I just want to be true to the characters, the story and give people the wrap-up that they deserve for the story."
