The Last Riff
Still reeling from Gamora’s death, Marvel’s band of galactic misfits launch into one last dangerous mission when a team member comes under threat from an old enemy.
Words Aaron Potter
Star-Lord, Rocket, Drax, Groot, Nebula, and Mantis are back, but everything is about to change for Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy.
The third volume of their space-based misadventures shakes-up the established line-up we’ve grown to love and also marks director James Gunn’s final film before he skirts off to head up all things DC. How or why the team will disband remains a mystery, but we do know that the stakes have been exponentially raised as Peter Quill searches the stars for his lost love Gamora and Rocket’s past comes back to haunt him.
The disparate headspace of the team is undoubtedly not helped by the emergence of The High Evolutionary, a different type of villain whose genetic experimentation is questionable to say the least. Quill and crew must complete one last mission in order to try and prevent his grand masterplan, all whilst fending off artificially-bred warrior Adam Warlock, played by MCU newcomer Will Poulter.
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 features more characters than ever, is even greater in scope, and will test the strength of the team like never before. As such, it’ll be well worth getting hooked on the feeling generated by this current roster of galactic oddballs for one thrilling final time.
The Guardians Of The Galaxy...featuring:
Cosmo The Spacedog
Borat 2’s breakout star Maria Bakalova lends her voice to bring the beloved comic character to the big screen. Though already introduced in the Guardians’ Holiday Special, Vol. 3 will mark the psychokinetic canine’s first full appearance after cameos in the MCU.
Adam Warlock
Another fan-favourite from the comics debuts as Adam Warlock, an almighty golden warrior created by the Sovereign and teased at the end of the of Vol. 2, enters the cosmic chaos and is sure to be a good foil for the Guardians.
The High Evolutionary
Portrayed by Chukwudi Iwuji, evolutionary scientist and Rocket Raccoon’s creator, the High Evolutionary, arrives in Vol. 3 with intentions of enhancing all living beings into one, singular “special race.”
