The production of the third part of the Guardians of the Galaxy series was off to a rocky start with the director and writer James Gunn being fired and then re-hired. Now, it seems, it is delayed once more and is set to a 2022 release.
The reason for the latest delay is Gunn’s other superhero project – DC’s The Suicide Squad. Gunn recently confirmed to a fan on his Instagram account that he will not begin working on Guardians of the Galaxy until the completion of filming and editing of The Suicide Squad.
The Suicide Squad has begun filming earlier this month and it will feature Pete Davidson, Idris Elba, and Peter Capaldi, who formerly starred in Doctor Who. also, Margot Robbie and Jay Courtney will reprise their roles as Harley Queen and Captain Boomerang from 2016’s Suicide Squad alongside Joel Kinnaman, and Viola Davis.
Gunn has recently revealed that the writing of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 took him a whole year. “This one (Suicide Squad) was short! A few months. Guardians Vol. 3 took a year, The Specials took a week and Super took maybe three weeks. It’s always different,” said the filmmaker.
