Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3is just around the corner. With the premiere so close, fans have been wondering how the new story will connect to the larger MCU arc running right now, which is Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror story. Since Marvel Studios tends to interconnect every movie and TV show, it seems obvious that the reportedly last installment of the James Gunn franchise should include at least some reference to the main plot of Phase 5, but the audience might get a surprise.
WhileAnt-Man and the Wasp Quantumaniaserved both as an official introduction for Kathryn Newton’s Cassie Lang, who will surely become part of the young Avengers in the future, and an official presentation of Majors’ newest villain,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3could take a completely different path.
While answering fans' questions on hisInstagram, Gunn revealed that connections between his movie and Kang might not be as present as fans expect:
“Vol 3 is about ending the story of these Guardians, not about setting up anything else. I don’t even know what’s going on with the other Marvel movies.”
This movie might also mean the definitive goodbye of Gunn from Marvel since he’s now the head of DC Studios and in charge of planning every project related to the competition, whether it is on streaming, theaters, TV, and even video games. So his plate will be quite full for the next couple of years.

What’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 About?
InGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, our beloved band of misfits is settling in Knowhere. But it isn’t long before their lives are upended by echoes of Rocket’s troubled past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around her on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life, a mission that, if not completed successfully, could lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.
Undoubtedly, one of the most important points of this new installment is the farewell to the leading team. However, another detail to consider withinGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3will have a lot of value in the future of the MCU. This is theintroduction of Adam Warlock, played by Will Poulter. He is one of the most anticipated heroes by fans, whose presence had been hinted at many times, but it won’t be until this film that we will finally see him shine in his full splendor.
Adam Warlock is an Eternal created by the Enclave, a group of scientists with the goal of creating the perfect human being, the projection of Humanity’s evolutionary future. The resulting creature, known as He, immediately understood that its creators intended its abilities for evil use and rebelled against them, injuring them and damaging the compound in which it was confined.
Fans can see all this and more whenGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3arrives in theaters on May 5.
