"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" ended with a new team of Guardians led by Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper). One of their number was Phyla (Kai Zen), a young white-haired girl and freed test subject of evil geneticist the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji).
If you're a comics fan, then yes, you likely realized that this was indeed the Marvel Cinematic Universe incarnation of the hero Phyla-Vell. If you only watch the movies, you're still thinking (to quote Korath the Pursuer), "Who?!" Well, let me explain.
In the comics, Phyla is the daughter of Captain Marvel — the alien warrior Mar-Vell, not Carol Danvers. Annette Benning played a female version of Mar-Vell in 2019's "Captain Marvel," but the character is traditionally male. Mar-Vell and his progeny are Kree, the imperious race to which "Guardians of the Galaxy" villain Ronan The Accuser (Lee Pace) belonged. The Kree have both blue and pink-shaded skin...

There were tears and trees aplenty in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and as the sci-fi stalwart makes a permanent move to the DC Universe, it looks like he’s taking a few of the human Guardians with him! There’s been a tree-mendous Groot theory doing the rounds that could change your perception of the fan-favourite foliage if we see him again in the MCU, though.
Since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was officially announced in 2017, the cast and crew have been on the promo circuit saying that this would be the last outing. Well, at least with the current lineup. While we’ll likely never see Star-Lord flirt his way around the cosmos with Rocket, Groot, Gamora, Drax, and Mantis again, at least Gunn gave them a fitting farewell that does these ragtag rogues justice.

Warning: Spoilers for “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” follow.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe may have just gotten bigger.
The third and final entry in the James Gunn-directed “Guardians of the Galaxy” trilogy has just been released, but it’s the post-credits scene that has fans buzzing about what’s next.
While “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” wraps up the story of the trilogy nicely, it also leaves room for the space marauders to expand elsewhere even with cast changes.

[This story contains spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.]
When the credits roll on James Gunn’s final installment in the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, the story isn’t finished yet. In typical Marvel fashion, there’s two end credits scenes — one of which hints at a future for the group, despite this being the end of the road for Gunn at Marvel as he settles into a head role at DC Studios.
With Vol. 3, Gunn puts Rocket (Bradley Cooper), the genetically engineered racoon genius with a snarky attitude, at the heart of the story. Although Rocket’s traumatic past has been hinted at over the course of the previous movies, Vol. 3 dives deep into his beginnings as an experiment created by the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji). Critically injured at the start of the film, Rocket experiences flashbacks to his past, as the rest of the Guardians fight to save his life.

Spoiler Alert: This story discusses major plot developments and the post-credits scenes in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” currently playing in theaters.
By this point, it’s no secret that Marvel Studios has lost some of its luster in its post-“Avengers: Endgame” era. Between the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s rapid expansion on Disney+ and the exits of stars like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and the late Chadwick Boseman, the Marvel saga has often felt at once too much and not enough: Sprawl without a center.
It’s a problem that “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” is particularly ill-equipped to address. For one, the film is wholly disconnected from everything else that’s happened in the Marvel Cinematic Universe post-“Endgame” — there’s not a whisper of Kang or the multiverse or incursions or Talokan or, hilariously, Thor, even though the Guardians made a special...

[Editor’s note: The following post contains spoilers for both “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” and its post-credits scenes.]
While “Guardians of the Galaxy” filmmaker James Gunn has never played coy about his plans to close out his Marvel Cinematic Universe trilogy with this week’s “Vol. 3”, the wider franchise doesn’t seem to be too pumped about the supposed end of the road for its most distinct band of intergalactic weirdos.
So it should come as little surprise that when the third film in the trilogy closes out, it leaves the possibility of more adventures wide open, care of a pair of new post-credits scenes that tease a future for (some) of our spacey heroes.
By way of catch up: Gunn’s film ends with Peter Quill Aka Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) finally heading home to Earth to reunite with his grandfather, where he will also presumably try out being a regular ol’ guy for once, while leaving Rocket...

Ready for the farewell tour?
The marketing campaign for “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” savvily cooked up by the Marvel Studios and Disney teams, has positioned it as the last hurrah for the team that formed in 2014 with the first “Guardians of the Galaxy” and who have endured for two sequels, appearances in both “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame,” as well as “Thor: Love and Thunder” and their very own seasonal celebration, 2022’s “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.” (They also have theme park attractions at Disney’s California Adventure in California and Epcot at Walt Disney World in Florida.)
Now that the final installment is here, we thought we’d break down what happens at the end of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” and its implications for the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe (or is it Multiverse?)

Warning: This post contains spoilers from “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.”
The emotional conclusion to James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has arrived, and it fills in the gaps of Rocket Raccon’s (Bradley Cooper) backstory. The villainous High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji) looms in the background after echoes from Rocket’s past surface. Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), a Sovereign-created specimen, is tasked with hunting down Rocket and returning him to The High Evolutionary.
Rocket’s friends prove just how much they love him with the lengths to which they go to protect him from this fate. Transitioning from Volume 2, which came out in 2017, as well as after the events of “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), the Guardians roster heading into this film includes Peter Quill aka Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), a multiversal version of Gamora who didn’t fall in love with Quill (Zoe Saldaña), Groot...

The Guardians of the Galaxy ... no more? Well, in a manner of speaking, at least. Rumors of the demise of writer/director James Gunn's "bunch of a-holes" may have been exaggerated. Despite all the talk about delivering a definitive end to this iteration of the Guardians, leading many fans to assume that Chris Pratt's Peter Quill, Bradley Cooper's Rocket, or anyone else on the team would end up having their ticket punched in heartbreaking fashion, not a single one of the core group actually died. The lovable losers saved Rocket's life from the kill switch that the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji) once implanted inside him, Will Poulter's Adam Warlock experienced a change of heart and saved Quill from an icy demise in the vacuum of space, and everyone received the send-off they deserved.
