James Gunn Teases Killing Characters Off In ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3’

James Gunn did his fair share of killing off characters in The Suicide Squad, but that was DC and it was rated R. So what about Gunn’s upcoming film for the MCU? Will Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 feature character deaths? Gunn says yes.

“Guardians of the Galaxy has a family film element to it, so I’m telling that story to a lot of different people. When Rocket says to Drax, ‘I’m gonna shoot you in the face and kill you,’ we don’t as an audience think in two seconds he’s going to pull out his gun and we’re going to see Drax’s face disappear. In this movie, The Suicide Squad, they say they’re going to shoot each other in the face, and they not only say it, they actually do it. We know that can happen at any time.”

Gunn added:

“Whereas in Guardians, yes, obviously I killed Yondu, I killed the big original Groot, but it isn’t the same thing. We know most of them are going to make it out alive. At least for two movies.”

Gunn continued:

“The last Marvel project, who knows, but I see it as my last Guardians movie,” Gunn told ET about Vol. 3. “I’m a guy who never says never because I’ve seen too many people say ‘never’ and be pulled back into the fray, so I wouldn’t say that. But I see it as being my last Guardians movie. I know [Drax actor] Dave [Bautista] sees it as being his last Guardians movie, and Dave and I are pretty much attached to the hip on those projects. So I don’t see me going on and doing any more after that.”

What do you think? Should we prepare for some character deaths in GOTG Vol 3? And have you seen The Suicide Squad?
