Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Goes for the Gross
Director James Gunn’s last movie in the Marvel multiverse wisely avoids being trapped in its sprawl to instead focus on a character-driven story with a creepy heart.
Is that a space base made of flesh? Yep.

The Guardians of the Galaxy movies typically open with a big musical sequence. But whereas the first two start with jaunty tracks, the latest goes for something more melancholy. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, directed by James Gunn, starts with talking trash panda Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) quietly humming along to Radiohead’s “Creep.”
It’s an amusing but somber opening that is a good indication of the big and mostly successful swing Gunn takes with his Marvel Cinematic Universe swan song before he jumps ship for the competitor and devotes himself fully to his new job as co-chief executive officer of DC Studios, owned by Warner Bros Discovery Inc.
