The characters of the franchise initially appeared in two films beginning from 2014 to 2017 before they joined hands with the rest of the MCU for Infinity War and later, Avengers: Endgame. After the culmination of MCU’s Infinity Saga, the Guardians of the Galaxy will also appear in the upcoming, Thor: Love and Thunder before they conclude their trilogy with Guardians Vol. 3 next year.

Given Avengers: Endgame’s ending, the Guardians could set on a journey to look for Gamora. The character was eventually lost in the MCU after the 2014-version of Gamora was killed and later, let loose in 2023.

Guardians Vol. 3 wrapped its production recently, marking the trilogy’s end and Marvel’s run with the Guardians. As per director James Gunn, Guardians star Chris Pratt gave a “beautiful speech” on the last day of its filming. The characters’  future still remains unclear.
