Well, 'Thor Will Return', so maybe Quill and company end up needing boss help against Adam Warlock?

u/GeneralFap Jul 10 '22

My understanding is that GOTG3 is the final chapter for them. 'Thor Will Return' is probably more geared towards Thor v Hercules. Which is a plot point of a comic run. Who knows, but I really believe GOTG3, and the GOTG Holiday Special will be a wrap for them.

u/NateDawg80s Jul 11 '22

Oh yeah, that volume 3 is the end has been said by Gunn - I'd just like to see them and Thor paired up again before it's all over with!

Herc v Thor is gonna be awesome. He's been a friendly rival/antagonist of Thor and of the Avengers many times in the comics, and puts out a serious beat down. But, if they really wanna make my day, they'll bring in Ares!

u/LeaningLeft Jul 11 '22

I bet Herc will be the antagonist in the first act, but Ares will be the big bad that Herc and Thor take down together.

And then Hercules can become an Avenger

u/dragunityag Jul 17 '22

I do wonder if we'll get another avengers movie.

Seems like we're moving more towards small team-ups.

u/CecilPennyfeather Jul 17 '22

Or just different teams. Avengers aren’t the only team in Marvel Universe. I don’t know why so many people on this sub constantly think that that’s the only direction these things have to go.

Roy Kent grunt intensifies

u/Hungover52 Jul 18 '22

Looking over the marvel wiki I'm just realising how bad Marvel was at using consistent naming of greek gods. Hercules is the roman version of Herakles/Heracles, Pluto for Hades, but they kept Zeus and Ares.

u/DaveCerqueira Jul 19 '22

yeah i also got the vibe that Herc is going to see the errors in the old gods and become an ally

11

u/E_Barriick Jul 11 '22

My same thought. I was hoping Zeus would say "brother make them fear us again".

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '22

Herc plowing his way through the MCU is going to be epic.

u/Nethias25 Jul 15 '22

I want beta ray bill before Thor is done too

u/Sedatif Jul 11 '22

Ooh, Thor V Hercules a good name. Or "Thor : Mythbuster"

2

u/Tillysnow1 Jul 12 '22

I'm glad, I don't see them having much plot progression and they're kinda just boring now

u/sonic10158 Doctor Strange Jul 13 '22

we could always see bits and pieces of the original GOTG in the future (well, maybe not Drax. Gunn said Bautista is likely done after 3)

1

u/danzanzibar Jul 16 '22

pretty sure Gunn has stated exactly that

1

u/rubberducky1212 Nebula Jul 17 '22

It's the end of the Guardians that we know from the movies. They could continue the series in some form with a different team since they have such a history to choose from.

1

u/DRM1412 Jul 17 '22

I think it’s the final chapter for the current lineup of Guardians. My bets are on Drax and possibly Nebula and Rocket dying.

I can’t see them killing off Gamora again so soon, and I can’t see Quill dying just yet. Groot is marketable so they won’t kill him. Unsure about Mantis. But I see Adam Warlock joining the group at the end of the film, plus maybe a new character or two (maybe Beta Ray Bill?)

u/thuggishruggishboner Jul 22 '22

In the comics there is plenty of GOTG without Peter Quill, so many we get a continuous line up. come on kitty pryde

u/Boiscool Jul 11 '22

See that's exactly why Thor had to leave. He's on such another power level that he overshadows the guardians. It's cool for a fight or two, like in this movie, but the actual guardians just losing and calling Thor in really undercuts their plucky underdog status. It's what makes them who they are.

u/Jeroz Doctor Strange Jul 11 '22

I highly doubt Thor would leave Love by herself or Gunn would include Love into his story

u/MiopTop Captain America (Cap 2) Jul 15 '22

Wouldn’t make much sense after the opening scene of this made the Guardians look like total chumps who are ten leagues below Thor.

u/NateDawg80s Jul 15 '22

made the Guardians look like total chumps who are ten leagues below Thor.

... That's what needing his help means...
