James Gunn mentioned that the upcoming Marvel Studio’s project will be the end of the road and the fans will see the last of its characters.

James Gunn, who helmed the direction of both Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, said he is doing his best to stay true to the film series and its characters.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will mark the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 4.

Four films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 4 have been released so far. They were Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Eternals and Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The upcoming films are Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, The Marvels and Guards of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
