James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy might have come to a detailed, however the Marvel Cinematic Universe rolls on. And similar to in Marvel Comics, meaning the story of the Guardians hasn’t come to an finish; even Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 hints at a continuation in its credit scenes. Let’s break down every part we learn about the place we’ll see the Guardians subsequent, even when it’s not a lot but.
[Ed. note: This piece contains spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.]

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has two credit scenes, one in the midst of the credit, and the opposite on the very tail finish. The primary is all in regards to the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the opposite is about their departed founder, Chris Pratt’s character Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord.
The brand new Guardians of the Galaxy
The tip of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 adjustments up the Guardians roster, as some characters go off to seek out themselves, or get again to their non-Guardians lives, and others stick round to do all of the Guarding. This scene clues us in to an virtually completely new Guardians roster that features Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), Kraglin (Sean Gunn), Groot (Vin Diesel), Cosmo (Maria Bakalova), and one of many Excessive Evolutionary’s “developed” kids, with Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper, Sean Gunn) because the group’s new chief.
They’re on an unknown planet, defending some unknown settlers from a stampede of unknown beasts, however simply earlier than they do, Rocket pulls up the Zune Peter deeded to him, and in a candy nod again to the film that began all of it, he places on “Come and Get Your Love,” from Redbone’s 1973 album Wovoka.
Will we see this model of the Guardians of the Galaxy once more? No person is aware of! A minimum of no one outdoors the halls of Marvel Studios. However the precise credit (you understand, the issues that run between the credit scenes) have a little bit of an Easter egg for comics nerds, referring to the brand new group’s child member as Phyla.
In Marvel Comics, Phyla-Vell is … look. It’s difficult, however you possibly can consider her as a part of a unfastened household of area adventurers associated to the primary Captain Marvel, a Kree warrior named Mar-Vell.
Does this imply Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 simply debuted an entire new Marvel superhero into the MCU? That’s unclear — Phyla-Vell’s comedian e book origin doesn’t have something to do with the Excessive Evolutionary or the Guardians of the Galaxy. However whether or not it’s the primary steps of Phyla-Vell’s story within the MCU, or only a character named Phyla, nerds will discover.

The legendary Star-Lord will return
Wait all the way in which to the top of the credit, and also you’ll get Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’s clearer level about the way forward for the MCU. We return to Peter Quill, who has apparently settled in along with his granddad comfortably sufficient that they’re consuming breakfast cereal and commiserating in regards to the neighbors’ lawn-mowing habits. A severely mundane second is humorously juxtaposed with a title card claiming “The legendary Star-Lord will return.”
However the place? Marvel has no formally introduced plans that embrace Star-Lord or Chris Pratt, and there aren’t actually any upcoming MCU tasks that really feel like a shoe-in for him — a minimum of not till 2025’s Avengers: Kang Dynasty.
Does Marvel have a Star-Lord Disney Plus collection or solo movie up its sleeve? Are they planning for future cameos to spice up different films or collection? It’s attainable. However we’ll have to attend for an official announcement to make certain.
