James Gunn says there will definitely be a third Guardians of the Galaxy film

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has confirmed that fans can look forward to a third film in the superhero series. “There will be a Guardians 3, that’s for sure,” he said in a recent interview with Complex.

The filmmaker was less certain whether he would be directing it. “We’re trying to figure it out,” he said. “I’m trying to figure out what I want to do really, that’s all it is. I got to figure out where I want to be, what I want to spend the next three years of my life doing. You know, I’m going to make another big movie; is it the Guardians or something else? I’m just going to figure it out over the next couple of weeks.”

Gunn directed and cowrote the first film in the series, 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and directed and wrote its sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which will be released May 5.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillan, Michael Rooker, and Kurt Russell.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is released May 5. You can see the film’s trailer above.
