Analysis: The end of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of this deep-space corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
“Vol. 3” ends with the original team of Guardians mostly going their separate ways. Star-Lord/Peter Quill resigns as leader of the team and says he’s heading back to his maternal motherland, the planet Earth, specifically the state of Missouri, where he plans to search for the one bit of family he has left, his grandfather Jason.
Peter declares Rocket Raccoon , who somehow did not die in this movie and join Iron Man in that big Avengers Mansion in the sky, the new leader of the Guardians.Gamora returns to the Ravagers, in part because she is not the original Gamora of the team but an alternate-universe version who doesn’t have the same deep connection with the Guardians.
Mantis lets the team know she wants to travel the galaxy and make a name for herself on her own. Nebula and Drax declare they will remain on Knowhere to help take care of the enslaved children the team rescued from “Vol. 3’s” villain, the High Evolutionary . Groot is still Groot. But you probably already knew that.
When the mid-credits scene appears on-screen, Rocket is leading a new Guardians of the Galaxy team protecting the locals on an alien planet. The new roster features Groot, who is now the size of a wooden Hulk; Kraglin , equipped with the whistle-fueled arrow of the late Yondu ; the psychic Cosmo the space dog ; the immensely powerful Adam Warlock , who was a foe to the Guardians at the beginning of “Vol. 3”; and Phyla , one of the enslaved children the Guardians rescued.
As for Star-Lord, well, if the Gunn playlist of pop music that was such a big part of the DNA of this franchise has taught us anything, it’s that sometimes the leader of the band goes solo.The “Vol. 3” post-credits scene shows Star-Lord in an emotional reunion with his grandfather Jason in Missouri. There’s also a “The Legendary Star-Lord will return” message at the film’s end. Maybe Pratt is on his way to getting his own Star-Lord solo movie and a new deep-space trilogy for Marvel Studios.
