Guardians of the Galaxy? Meet The Avengers.

Well...maybe not.  I don't know.  Heck, I don't even think James Gunn knows at this point, but considering the epic scale that this two-parter is going to be, I wouldn't be surprised if this happens.  And maybe Gunn isn't going to be surprised, either.  Gunn likes to take to social media to interact with fans of the movie Guardians of the Galaxy.  In fact, the above picture was from a scene that was cut that he shared on Facebook, which he titled, "Groot's Last Supper."  If you need me to explain why it's called this, you need to go visit an art museum or do a little reading.  Gunn cut the scene because he said that it was slow, and didn't work well with the movie as a whole.

While fielding questions on Facebook, one fan asked him why none of the characters from Guardians of the Galaxy were going to appear in Captain America: Civil War.  I know.  A pretty stupid question, but Gunn answered it without any sarcasm or mockery.  His simple answer was, "Because they are currently in a different galaxy."  Not much to learn from that answer, right?  Or is there?

This is probably grasping at straws a little bit, but let's look at his answer.  He said that they are "currently" in a different galaxy.  Does that mean that at some point they will travel back to Terra (a.k.a. Earth) and join the rest of the Avengers?  It would make sense, with the Avengers: Infinity Wars coming out in a couple of years.  Disney and Marvel have promised the biggest Avengers movie ever with it's release, and have hinted at bringing all of their movie properties together for one...okay, "two" action packed movies.  One would assume that this would include the characters from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Gunn was also recently asked if he would be returning for a third Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but kind of shrugged off the question.  He said that he was only focusing on giving us the best possible sequel ever, and wasn't really thinking beyond this point.  He did say that he wasn't sure if he wanted to do a third film or decide to do something else, but whatever he decides to do, I'm sure that it will be amazing.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 comes out May5, 2017.
