Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul aka the guy with a big Ego like
Peter Quill's dad and this video we're breaking down the trailer leak for Guardians Of The
Galaxy Volume 3.
Shown at San Diego Comic-con over the weekend, footage of the trailer leaked onto twitter
after being a Hall H exclusive.
Director James Gunn said that the trailer has all the shots in place but that he doesn't
want it released to the public yet because it has unfinished VFX in it. Gunn took to
twitter and said that being shown once to a live audience means that they can't pick
it apart like they would online and thus the best look we have of it at the moment comes
from my uncle sitting and film...sorry your uncle sitting and filming the event.
Throughout this video we're gonna be breaking down what happens in it, the new characters
that appear and also what the plot of the movie will centre around. If you enjoy the
video we'd love you 3000 if you hit the thumbs up button and don't forget to subscribe for
breakdowns like this every day.
With that out the way, thanks for clicking this, now let's get into Guardians Of The
Galaxy Volume 3.
Now due to Disney firing James Gunn there was a big issue with the production of this
movie. The cast came together and put out a message in an attempt to get him rehired
but Gunn ended up going over to DC in order to film Suicide Squad. Disney were unable
to find a director to fill his shoes and after Taika Waititi turned them down then ended
up bringing Gunn back to complete the film.
However this had severe consequences on the production and originally this was supposed
to release before Thor Love And Thunder with it picking up after the events of Avengers
Endgame. However Love And Thunder somewhat dealt with the Guardians though, whether it
worked is completely dependent on your opinion of the film.
Now they ended up leaving Thor and the upcoming film is very much going to be centred around
them continuing the search for Gamora who returns in this new teaser. From what your
uncle could gather the first look opens with the Guardians onboard the Benatar. This is
the same crew that was in Thor Love And Thunder and it's possible that they're just coming
off of leaving The God Of Thunder behind for the events of that movie. We see a shot of
Nebula from behind and Electricity sparks up throughout the ship.
Peter says Ah Hell, Ravagers and we then cut to a wide shot of their ship flying close
up to the benatar. According to people at the event this meeting was set up in advance
but it's something that Quill wasn't privvy to.
They pull their guns on Peter and Nebula rushes forward and says 'we have an appointment.'
There's a big surprise when Gamora steps forward and we discover that she's now the person
leading the Ravagers.
She's the new manager
-
Now how Nebula set this up I'm guessing is because she and her sister ended up standing
side by side with each other during the events of the final battle in Avengers Endgame. There
was actually a deleted scene where we saw Gamora going off but I'm guessing they kept
this out of the movie so that there was some mystery over whether she got dusted along
with Thanos' forces.
Which, yeah spoiler alert, obviously wasn't gonna happen.
There is a possibility that the pair kept a way to contact one another but let me know
your thoughts on it below.
Gamora says you're early and we get a long hold on Quill's jaw dropping as she steps
forward looking sexy, got that whole sexy green should've done she hulk like this look
to her.
Now from here we cut to the Marvel Studios logo and over the top of this we can hear
the song Do You Realize by The Flaming Lips.
This song is a fitting choice too as it has lyrics like:
Do you realize That you have the most beautiful face? Do you realize, We're floating in space?
This is accompanised by shots of the original Gamora from the original timeline and snippets
of her relationship with Peter. It's done in a very similar way to the Jane montage
in Thor Love And Thunder and she spins around into his arms similar to the dance scene in
the first Guardians film. Peter says 'you were everything to me' but this is shot down
by Ravager Gamora who says that person wasn't me. She's holding a polaroid picture in her
hand and I'm guessing that Quill was trying to convince her to love him.
We also have cuts of the pair wearing what look like astronaut helmets and they're on
a planet with very low gravity. There's a team with them who are all in colourful suits
and it reminded me a lot of the ones from the first JJ Abrahams Star Trek movie.
Now speaking of suits, we also know that the Guardians are going to be wearing their comic
book accurate costumes. At one point we see Peter wearing the red and blue uniform and
later on the rest of the guardians don this. This includes Drax which will hopefully protect
his very very sensistive nipples.
We also get clips where Mantis does a little dance and Nebula sees a large Neon sign in
an unknown Alien Language that, I'm not really sure what it is.
-
Now next we get a shot of a baby racoon that cowers in terror as a hand goes towards it.
This is obviously a young Rocket and the hand likely belongs to the villain of the movie,
The High Evolutionary.
Incase you don't know who he is, this is a character called Herbert Wyndham who was born
on Earth, namely Manchester.
After debuting in The Mighty Thor issue 133 Herbert took an interest in the work of Nathanial
Essex aka Mr Sinister.
He started carrying out genetic experiments and he even built a device known as a genetic
accelerator that sped up the evolution process. He used this on Rats in order to advance their
intelligence even though, that's not really how evolution works but nevermind.
What do you mean how does it work?
Well a rat, is as evolved as you are.
But moving on, he slowly started to experiment on animals and at one point he even mixed
a dalmation with a chimpanzee in order to create a dog humanoid. I'm guessing that this
will be pulled across to the movie as we know that Maria Bakalova is voicing Cosmo the space
dog and this will likely have been experimented on by the High Evolutionary.
He of course made Rocket into what he is and we'll likely discover his backstory with the
villain.
We're unsure what he's after at the moment but my guess is that he potentially wants
Rocket back after a string of failures. Rocket is a one of a kind and possibly he holds the
key as to how he can create more like him. Now sadly I actually think that Rocket may
end up even dying in this movie. He doesn't have a very long life span and with this being
centred around his birth we could also get his death too.
Either way it's gonna be horrific watching him getting cut apart and there are shots
in the teaser of saws and tools that the villain uses.
Now speaking of origins we also get a shot of a neighbourhood in Earth and it's possible
that Quill could end up returning there once more. Perhaps he will come face to face with
the family that he left behind after he was kidnapped by Yondu and he might finally confront
the death of his mother.
There's always a lot of chatter around the other films as to why Quill never really went
back to Earth and why he also left as quick as he could after the events of Endgame. You
have to remember that this is a place of great trauma for him and just like how you probably
wouldn't be too eager to return to somewhere one of your relatives died, he isn't either.
Now we also get a shot of Will Poulter as Adam Warlock. We last left him being created
at the end of Guardians Volume 2 and incase you don't know, this is a character who was
massively tied to the Infinity Stones. Normally he was a big adversary of Thanos but with
the villain being dead in the main timeline it's gonna be interesting to see what they
do with him. He was also a major ally of Pip the troll who we were introduced to at the
end of the Eternals.
He has major ties to the High Evolutionary and he's the character that gave him the name
Warlock. It's even possible that he starts off working alongside him at the beginning
of the movie and then he slowly ends up joining the guardians as he realises how bad his boss
is.
Don't quote me on that just I can see the High Evolutionary having minions.
He could also just be working for the Sovereign who we saw created him at the end of the last
Guardians movie.
There's also a shot of the monster from the start of that film and we get a moment in
which Peter and Groot stand back to back firing guns.
Moments like this have been seen throughout the Guardians films at several points and
it's important to bear in mind that Groot is fully grown at this point.
When we last left him he was a teen but he's gonna be full size for this film.
Now James Gunn has said that characters will die but not the entire squad. He said just
because it's an ending doesn't mean that everyone will but expect to see some of your favourite
characters go out in this movie.
Along with Rocket I'm expecting Drax to go too due to Dave Bautista confirming that this
will be the last time he plays the part.
His family of course was killed by Ronan/Thanos and with them both now being dead it makes
sense that this might be his last film. The MCU recently has had a big focus on the afterlife
so I am expecting him to potentially go out in this movie.
Now from what I co...sorry your uncle could see in this trailer, it looked like a really
emotional journey for the team and I'm really excited to see what happens in the movie.
It could end up being the best of the trilogy and so far I think that Gunn has knocked it
out the park on all the comic book stuff he's worked on.
Gonna be really interesting to see where they go with it and obviously let me know your
thoughts below on what you wanna see in the movie.
