He made it clear thatVol. 3will not explore anything regarding the Guardians losing Benatar. TheSuperdirector explained,“It’s more simple than that – Rocket just keeps upgrading ships.”Earlier in November, Gunn shared via Twitter that Benatar still exists, but it’s much smaller for the Guardians now.
He said,“It still exists it’s just much smaller,”suggesting the upgrade was something they required.

Rocket Has Been the Secret Protagonist of theGuardiansMovies
In his interview with Entertainment Weekly, James Gunn shared thatVol. 3will explore who these characters really are. He shared,“This is the big one”as he explained why he decided to come back for the third and probably the final film in the series.
“One of the reasons why I came back to [make] this movie was because I felt like I needed to tell Rocket’s story,”thePeacemakerdirector explained. He then shared that he feels connected to the character and felt like“nobody would be able to tell his full story”if he didn’t.
Gunn also shared that all the Guardians have been through traumas, but somehow he feels that Rocket’s trauma is“more extreme than others.”He shared that he was turned into something he never asked for. Gunn also called him the“secret protagonist”of the Guardians movies.
The director has made it clear that one of the motives behind theGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3has been giving Rocket the satisfying arc he deserves. He also shared that the third installment took longer than the previous two films, and it gave him extra time to work on the plot and characters.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3is expected to be the final film in theGuardians of the Galaxyfilm series. However, Pom Klementieff, the actress who plays Mantis, believes thatVol. 3is not the end of the Guardians’ story.
