Hey everyone, I'm The Canadian Lad and today Marvel released the first official trailer
for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3!
As you know me I watch trailers and movies at 0.25x speed and try to find hidden details
and easter eggs, so this is a complete breakdown of the Guardians 3 Trailer, where I managed
to find some incredible hidden details and easter eggs.

So it begins with the Marvel logo slowly transforming into a cassette tape that we've seen way back
in Guardians 1.
So Marvel still keeps up their long tradition where their intro transforms into the story
that's about to unfold.
Then we see the Guardians donning their brand new comic-accurate suits.
Now of course they are no strangers to uniforms.
In Guardians 1, they had a wardrobe change in the middle of the movie.
And now, the team has evolved to its own brand!
Which also means how much more seriously they have taken their job.
They will be more unified in this film than ever before!
And now they have a brand new ship as well, which is called "The Bowie".
Now the location the Guardians visit does look like Earth but this could be an alternate
version.
Which is inhabited by animal and humanoid hybrids.
They dress like Humans but they're not.
Notice, there is even an island that seems to have something resembling the Statue of
Liberty.
However, it is likely an animal version of Lady Liberty.
Well, that's why I just love James Gunn, he manages to bring the most weird comic-book
thing to mainstream cinema and makes it look good!
Now notice in this scene, where this kid passes the ball to Drax who then smacks it on her
face, Peter were initially smiling because of the
friendly gesture, but as soon as Drax throws this kid into another dimension, I love the
reaction on Peter's face!
And Nebula does react too but she has a very late reaction.
Now notice, Nebula's left hand looks very different in this film.
We do get a clearer look at it towards the end where Adam Warlock is beating the shit
out of her!
Then we see Peter listening to music using headphones.
Now this is what I assume is Zune that was given to him by Kraglin as a gift from Yondu.
Then we see a young Rocket locked up in a cage without his suit.
And a hand from a dark background approaches him.
Now my theory is this could be the High Evolutionary.
In the comics, The High Evolutionary is a scientist that is fond of living experimentation
to combine biology and technology.
Him being the main villain indicates Rocket Racoon being a focal point of the movie as
"Rocket" is a product of The High Evolutionary.
Then we see the Guardians jumping into space wearing 5 different colored suits.
Now the internet was quick to assume this might be a reference to the video game "Among
Us" but James Gunn has quickly debunked it on Twitter!
Actually this could be a reference to Pac-Man's ghosts but for that we would need a Pink colored
suit which is missing here.
Because if you remember, Pac-Man was a big influence in Peter's life back in Guardians
2.
Now the big question here is, where are the guardians headed?
Well, it looks like they're headed to the place where The High Evolutionary lives, or
at least his HQ or something.
It looks like the whole place is made out of living organisms, which would make sense
given what the High Evolutionary does for a living!
It even has hair embedded on it's surface.
And just look at the size of it!
These are our Guardians and this is the portal they're entering through.
Then we see Gamora looking at a polaroid probably given to her by Peter in order to prove that
there used to be another Gamora who loved Peter.
Then we see a shot of the Guardians in Knowhere except Gamora where Nebula is now carrying
a senseless body of Peter Quill.
Now the reason I know nothing bad happened to Peter is because of the reactions of the
rest of the Guardians.
Rocket is just casually sipping something, Mantis or Kraglin aren't crying and there's
also Cosmo the Space Dog.
Now in this shot, we get a clearer view at Nebula's left hand that I've talked about.
It is indeed different from what we've seen previously.
In fact, even Mantis has a new left sleeve on her suit, which wasn't there even in the
recent Guardians Holiday Special.
So there is a pattern here, almost everyone's left arm looks a bit different than it used
to be.
Then we get this epic shot where Rocket tells Peter that he's done running!
But notice in the background, we can clearly see Gamora here.
So by the time Rocket will say this, she will have already joined the team.
And of course, we again see Cosmo the Spacedog in the background.
But the rest of the surroundings are all on fire, meaning something or someone has attacked
Knowhere and now Rocket is saying he won't run away from this, he will fight this time!
Then we see Gamora drawing her signature dagger.
Now if you notice the surroundings closely, you'll see that it matches with the location
of the High Evolutionary.
So my theory is this shot is taking place inside the High Evolutionary's HQ.
And notice how the makeup on Gamora's face is slightly different than what it used to
be.
This indicates how this version of Gamora is more aggressive and a little less sophisticated.
Because this one didn't go through the experiences the other Gamora went through.
Then we get a massive callback to Guardians 1 where the team is set for another prison
break!
It looks like this is High Evolutionary's facility, as we see the same patterns here
that we've seen in the trailer previously.
And the team is wearing matching prison jumpsuits.
But it looks like Drax has taken a pretty big hit and Gamora is there to help him in
a beautiful turn of events from Volume 1.
But not only Drax though, it seems Nebula and Peter both have taken some damage too
and Peter is holding onto an object which I for sure don't know what it is, so lemme
know what you lads think about it though.
Now notice inside this facility, we see other creatures wearing similar suits as the Guardians
with cybernetic bolts in their backs, albeit their suits aren't that colorful.
So my theory is, in order to enter into this facility, the Guardians had to wear such suits,
but because they're the Guardians, they made the suits look colorful.
Now if I just go back to the left-hand thing again, notice Mantis' left hand now appears
to be normal as she had only put on a different sleeve but Nebula's left arm seems to have
a permanent new look.
No matter what attire she is wearing, it's there!
Then we see Peter lunging into this white figure who could be the scientist called Enclave
in the comics.
They're the ones responsible for creating Adam Warlock in the comics.
Notice, there are some scientists already dead in the same facility.
And all of their heads don't look like a human head at all, they're all cybernetic.
Meaning, this could be taking place in the alternate earth where we saw the Guardians
visiting in the beginning of the trailer.
Then we get a close up shot of a drop of blood and Peter screams in agony!
Now James Gunn has quite clearly said this will be the last Guardians film, and Dave
Bautista said he's pretty much done with his character Drax.
So we can expect one or multiple lead characters dying in this film.
Keep in mind James Gunn has also said it's a story revolving around Rocket, so I wouldn't
be surprised if Rocket is the one dying here, but man, seeing his backstory and his death
in the same film will be heartbreaking!
Then in the next shot, we see Rocket's love interest, aka Lylla for the first time in
the MCU.
Till now only her name appeared in Guardians 1 but now it seems we're gonna get a proper
story.
But notice Lylla has cybernetic paws in this scene, meaning the High Evolutionary has already
done some experiments on her.
And look at the relief on Rocket's face when he sees Lylla here!
Might indicate this is them escaping from the High Evolutionary's cage.
But my theory is, even though they're out of their cages but Lylla somehow gets left
behind or gets caught and only Rocket manages to escape successfully, which would explain
her absence throughout the MCU.
Because notice even though Rocket is completely free but Lylla still has a lock on her neck.
And if I move forward a couple of frames, notice Rocket has a device on his hand which
could be a controller to open the gates of the cages.
Drax, Nebula and Gamora then come face to face with this monster creature that we've
seen previously in Guardians Volume 2.
And then we see for the first time in the MCU, Adam Warlock played by Will Poulter.
By the time Volume 3 releases next year, it will be 6 years from the day we've seen Adam
Warlock being held in his cradle
in Guardians 2.
Boy I cannot wait to see Adam Warlock on the big screen!
Now if you notice the background here, it looks like Adam is in Knowhere here.
Which is not good for the Guardians.
And rightly so, in the exact next shot, we see Adam throwing a heavy punch on Nebula's
face!
Now notice in this shot, Adam's cape is missing!
But in this one where he is punching Nebula, his cape is still there!
Meaning, Nebula will give him a run for his money and Adam might lose his cape in the
process.
Then we see our OG Guardians doing their famous walk and this one seems to be the best in
the trilogy!
But be assured, this won't be happening towards the climax this time, because at the end,
not everyone's gonna survive!
Then we see this classic back to back shooting by Peter and Groot.
And if you notice carefully, we can see the same white coat scientists are dead on the
floor.
Meaning, just before Peter lunges into this scientist, a massive gun fight will take place
over here.
And I absolutely love how branches of Groot are maneuvering multiple guns at the same
time!
Then we see the title card but just before it appears in English, we see it appearing
in the Kree language.
And that's it for this trailer.
Overall, this looks like a perfect end to a trilogy and lads this is just my opinion,
the Guardians trilogy might just be the best one in the entire MCU!
