Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn is one of the Marvel filmmakers who is more active on social media than others. Following Monday’s announcement of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 arriving in theaters on May 5, 2023, Gunn has shared a few fun bits about the upcoming film with his Twitter followers (while also peppering in updates from his The Suicide Squad movie and HBO Max’s Peacemaker series). The director recently pointed out that it was “lucky” this third Marvel movie for him did not get its originally planned release date of May 2020, as it provided him with an opportunity to carry out other projects and form relationships on those sets which wouldn’t have otherwise come about. Still, there is plenty GotG content in Gunn’s feed to marvel over.

See you all in theaters two years from Wednesday. 5.5.23 🚀🚀🚀 pic.twitter.com/5XKDkSOYGu

No. But it’s a little stressful that the release date is so close. Apparently you and I look at these things differently. https://t.co/JTXbFklX8x

Star-Lord is @prattprattpratt, Drax is @DaveBautista, Mantis is @PomKlementieff, Nebula is @karengillan, and Kraglin is @seangunn. There you go! https://t.co/LvpasBiUny

No, not much. Most of the tweaks have been creative choices. The Guardians’ path has been set for a long time. https://t.co/4uavYoVJHt

Between now & then we have The Suicide Squad, the Peacemaker TV series, the Guardians Holiday Special & the Guardians ride at Disneyland all coming out. Last year I wrote over 500 pages of script that’ll all be shot over the next year. I’m busy! (But thanks for being excited.) https://t.co/igqzB5ONLc
