Director James Gunn recently revealed that production for the upcoming Marvel Studios movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, has wrapped up. And with that, Chris Pratt has finally been able to reunite with his wife and kids. The actor took to his Instagram and shared how his family welcomed him home after wrapping up filming on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
In celebration of the news of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 wrapping up, Pratt reveals that he has come home to his family. In a new social media post, he shares an image of a cake that reads “Welcome Home DADDY!” The actor also confirmed the fact that the MCU threequel has ended production and that he is “grateful to be home.” Previously, director James Gunn took to his social media to reveal that the production of the upcoming Marvel movie wrapped up filming.
Gunn shared a snap with the cast and crew of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Alongside the snap, he wrote, “And that’s a picture wrap on the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. I love this amazing cast & crew & their beautiful talent & kind souls. I’m a lucky human to have them on the journey with me for nearly a decade.” Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is scheduled to release on May 5, 2023.
While filming for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 went by smoothly, Pratt has encountered some controversy as of late. In late April, a growing call for Pratt to be recast as the MCU’s Star-Lord started gaining traction. The issue started through a social media post that suggests that Pratt be simply replaced by Patrick Wilson since they look quite similar to each other. There was no reason given for this petition but it quickly became viral and even caught the attention of Gunn.
However, the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 helmers shot it down, questioning the logic behind the campaign, especially this late into Pratt’s stint in the MCU. Meanwhile, the development and production of the film were both tumultuous, resulting in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 being significantly delayed. It was supposed to release in the aftermath of the Infinity Saga.
However, due to Gunn’s firing and eventual rehiring from his directing duties, the project was pushed back. Luckily, when the shooting started, it progressed quietly. Plot details are still scant at the moment, but it’s expected to deal with the unknown whereabouts of the original Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and the upcoming introduction of Will Poulter’s Adam Warlock. Several set images have also given fans their first look at some of the movie’s characters, including some new aliens.
