The final chapter of the Guardians saga has arrived. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ushers in the end of an era for James Gunn's ragtag group of heroes who have risked their lives time and time again to save the galaxy.
While it's possible that the Guardians might appear in a future Marvel story, it's very likely that it will be different actors and/or different characters. It really is a swan song for the cast, bringing closure to the team that has given us so many laughs and memorable moments over the years.
What to Watch's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 review said "the final outing aims straight for our heartstrings" and the preview of a heartfelt moment with Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and his fellow animals made fans emotional, so be sure to bring tissue!
Here's what you need to know to watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
