The Guardians are going on one last adventure in the Super Bowl trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
The film from writer-director James Gunn stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Sean Gunn, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel and Will Poulter, who plays the classic Marvel character Adam Warlock.
Gunn has made a home for himself at Marvel since directing the first Guardians movie, released in 2014. He followed that up with a 2017 sequel, and served as executive producer on Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame before directing the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, released on Disney+ last year. But Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 marks Gunn’s final Marvel movie, as the filmmaker is now deep in rival DC territory. He is co-head of DC Studios and is working to launch a slate of films, including a Superman feature he is writing.
