Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has revealed one David Bowie song that he will not be including in the much-anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 soundtrack. According to Gunn, he will not be using Bowie’s iconic song “Heroes” for Guardians 3; there had been growing speculation that Gunn would be using “Heroes” for a deeply emotional moment his final chapter of the Guardians Trilogy: Rocket Raccoon’s funeral. However, based on what James Gunn shared with a fan on social media, we won’t be getting that moment - at least, not scored to David Bowie’s “Heroes”.

It’s been used too much for me

The songs are written into the script. The storyboards are designed into the rhythm of the songs. Sometimes I’ll use timecode for the songs so the editors know exactly what piece of a song should land on what shot. https://t.co/vAKCTgPyUW
