‘Guardians 3’ Production Details Likely Reveal ‘Avengers 4’ Spoilers
Warning: this article contains spoilers forAvengers: Infinity War.
Social media can be a dangerous thing, especially for actors who’ve been tasked with keeping some of the biggest secrets in blockbuster movie history. In a recent post, it looks likeChris Prattaccidentally revealed something about who will appear inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3– which means he also inadvertently revealed someAvengers 4spoilers. Read his comment below.
Infinity Warends with half of the creatures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe blowing away into dust, including most of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Gamora (Zoe Saldana) was murdered as Thanos’s sacrifice for the Soul Stone (though she may not betotallydead), and while Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) and Nebula (Karen Gillan) escaped Thanos’s decimation intact, Pratt’s Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord), teen Groot (Vin Diesel), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), and Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) all withered away and vanished. But withGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3already announced, how can that movie exist if most of its cast is wiped out?
Turns out it can’t. In an Instagram post (viaBMD) in which Pratt wished Klementieff a happy birthday, the actor revealed that both Star-Lord and Mantis will be back forGuardians Vol. 3:
Happy Birthday @pom.klementieff whom many of you know as Mantis!!! She’s such a unique, talented and driven artist. Can’t wait to start shooting Guardians Vol. 3 with her next year! Hope you’re having a good day Pom!

That confirms what most fans suspected walking out ofInfinity War: those vanishing deaths are going to be reversed somehow duringAvengers 4. This was sort of a given, seeing as howTom Holland’s Spider-Man andChadwick Boseman’s Black Panther were two of the characters that also vanished, and there’s no way these studios are going to let those characters go this early in the process.
Guardianswriter/directorJames Gunnrevealedlast yearthat he was having “some pretty intense conversations” withZoe Saldanaabout a significant role inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but it remains to be seen how she’ll factor into the story. We can assume that Star Lord, Mantis, and the rest will be brought back to existence, but is Gamora really dead? Maybe she only shows up in flashback form, or in Peter Quill’s dream sequences. We’ll have to wait and see ifMarvel starts taking death seriously.
