Guardians of the Galaxy fans keep wondering if a fourth movie could ever happen. Now Sean Gunn is weighing in on the speculation. The actor, who played Kraglin in the trilogy, addressed the idea during a panel at Emerald City Comic-Con.
Cast addresses the future of Guardians
The Guardians of the Galaxy films were created by James Gunn in a very unique way, blending comedy, emotional content, and music. The films were a huge success in presenting a relatively unknown Marvel comic book team to one of the most recognized Marvel franchises.
This is why there is a consensus that replacing him will be difficult. The filmmaker currently oversees creative affairs at DC Studios and is working on other projects in the superhero universe. Corporate moves involving companies such as Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount have also sparked discussions about the future of some of these popular productions.
The popularity of the trilogy and its characters is a major concern for fans. The movies showcased characters featured in many different stories. Pom Klementieff said the plan was always for a trilogy of films. She added that a fourth installment was never discussed when they first started working on the movies. “We never talked about a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4,” she said while addressing the topic. “We talked about this trilogy of connected movies.“
The issue was brought up again during a panel at the Emerald City Comic-Con. Actors at the panel included Sean Gunn, Michael Rooker, Mikaela Hoover, and Pom Klementieff. They shared their experiences with the films and their thoughts on the possibility of a fourth Guardians of the Galaxy installment.
Sean Gunn addressed the issue, saying the decision would be up to the studio and the other parties involved in the project. “In some ways, it’s almost like a little above my pay grade,” Gunn said while discussing the topic.
He then stated that the decision to continue the Guardians of the Galaxy story would depend on the right script and the right team.
He also joked that a successful franchise can be diluted by being extended too long, comparing it to popular shows such as The Walking Dead. For now, Marvel Studios and The Walt Disney Company are focused on upcoming films like Avengers: Doomsday and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and the characters could appear in other Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
