The final installment of Guardians of the Galaxy "really is about the one story," Gunn said during the event. "This is the final arc that we began at the very beginning of Guardians of the Galaxy, with Peter Quill, with Rocket, seeing where Nebula goes, and even Kraglin, who started out as saying one or two lines in the first movie and is now a main Guardian of the Galaxy."
The film will pay special attention to Rocket, voiced by Bradley Cooper, diving into his difficult past as a genetically enhanced creature. "I knew that . . . what started me on this journey, was seeing who [Rocket] could be and who he was, where he came from," Gunn told Entertainment Weekly at Comic-Con on July 23, 2022. The film will also tell the story of Star-Lord as he deals with the fact that Gamora no longer knows who he is, per Marvel.
Adam Warlock, meanwhile, is set up to be the movie's main antagonist, though it's possible he'll turn to the Guardians' side by the end of the film.
