Director JamesGunn explains how GuardiansoftheGalaxyHolidaySpecial is a 'trojan horse' that links the second and third GuardiansOfTheGalaxy movies
“The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” may seem like a one-off, standalone TV special, but for director James Gunn it also provided a way to bridge the second “Guardians” movie with the upcoming “Vol. 3”.
“I used the holiday special as an opportunity to introduce some elements into ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, so I didn’t have to explain them at the beginning of Volume 3,” Gunn explained in an interview with“I don’t have to talk about where they got [the new Guardians HQ] Nowhere from, or Cosmo being around Nowhere,” Gunn continued, noting that the special also introduces the Guardians’ new spaceship, The Bowie, from the upcoming movie.
“I think you see what Nebula’s role is in the group now: She’s a leader to some degree,” he added. “We see all these changes since we’ve seen them last.” The holiday special was filmed at the same time as “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”, which Gunn described as “an insane experience because ‘Vol. 3’ is a serious movie, it deals with these characters’ emotional lives.”
Leaping from that to the silliness of the holiday special, he explained, provided a bit of a break from the “heaviness” of the film. “So shooting that for a few days, and then shooting this goofy thing — these were like my recess days,” said Gunn.

Experts say government has a key role to play protecting crypto investors from bad actorsAs bankruptcy proceedings reveal the stunning extent of financial mismanagement at a crypto exchange previously heralded as a “white knight” for the industry, experts say recent collapses in the sector do not pose a wider risk to the mainstream financial system. But they warn the Canadian government can no longer take a “swim at your own risk” approach to crypto. Carleton University researcher James Patriquin says governments must take an active role in regulating the crypto sector because ‘there’s only so much a consumer can do to protect themselves against misinformation and deception.’ Photograph courtesy of Carleton University James Patriquin, a PhD candidate at Carleton University who studies cryptocurrency and the political economy of digital finance, told The Hill Times “there’s only so much a consumer can do to protect themselves against misinformation and deception.” He warned against an overtly hands-off approach to crypto, which he said has been the Liberal government’s default to date. That posture has been “something of the default approach” for government and regulators since crypto exchange platforms started becoming popular between 2016 and 2018, he noted. When reports emerged of ‘Freedom Convoy’ supporters looking to use cryptocurrencies to support the movement, the federal government used its emergency powers to make it mandatory for cryptocurrency platforms to register with FINTRAC, the federal government’s intelligence unit. But that process does not cover the full range of regulations that more established financial institutions, such as Canada’s big banks, must abide by. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland holds a press conference on Feb. 17 to address federal implementation of the Emergencies Act in response to the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests across Canada.
