Be sure to stay round in case you head to theaters to see “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.”

The James Gunn-directed sequel incorporates two further scenes after the film ends, one among which teases a brand new character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

For those who ventured out of the theater early earlier than catching each end-credits scenes or weren’t certain in regards to the identification of a thriller lady, we have now you coated.

What occurs within the first end-credits scene: We meet the brand new Guardians of the Galaxy

A while has handed because the occasions of “Vol. 3.” The scene opens with Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), Kraglin (Sean Gunn), Cosmo the Spacedog (Maria Bakalova), Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), the alien creature Blurp, and a thriller lady who was first seen with the Excessive Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji).

Rocket’s main the group on a mission, however, earlier than they start, they every reveal their favourite music to at least one one other.

Because the group lists off tracks, Rocket takes out Yondu’s Zune and begins enjoying “Come and Get Your Love” by Redbone. 

Peter Quill first performed the track on his Sony Walkman close to the beginning of 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” throughout his first look within the MCU.

Because the group will get as much as battle off some creatures and go to work, we be taught that Rocket was leaning towards Groot (Vin Diesel) the complete time. When the tree-like creature stands, he is extra monumental in measurement than any model of Groot we have ever seen. 

The scene ends with this new group of Guardians ready to battle.

What you need to take away: ‘GotG Vol. 3’ sneakily introduces a brand new character, Phyla-Vell

Rocket’s new lineup of Guardians plucks from characters who’ve appeared in Marvel’s more moderen 2008 run of “Guardians of the Galaxy” comics.

Along with revealing the brand new group, headed up by Rocket Raccoon, the sequel teases a brand new character, Phyla-Vell. 

First showing in 2004’s “Captain Marvel” comedian collection, Phyla-Vell is half-Everlasting and half-Kree.

She’s launched because the daughter of Mar-Vell, a personality whose gender was flipped within the MCU and performed by Annette Bening. 

Within the comics, Phyla-Vell has assumed the position of Captain Marvel, however has additionally been often known as the superhero Quasar, recognized for sporting a pair of Quantum bands.

The Phyla-Vell we meet on the finish of “Vol. 3” might have been sporting a model of those bands as cosmic, quantum vitality appeared to radiate from their wrists on the scene’s finish.

We might be taught extra in regards to the character in November’s “Captain Marvel” sequel.

What occurs within the second end-credits scene: We return to Earth with Peter Quill

Peter and his grandfather, Jason Quill, are sitting round a small kitchen desk. Peter eats cereal as his grandfather reads the information. 

A headline on the entrance web page reads: “Alien Abduction: Kevin Bacon Shares All.”

Peter complains in a joking method about how he, a 45-year-old man, has to mow a garden as his succesful grandfather watches him.

The scene ends.

The phrases “The legendary Star-Lord will return” seem on a white background because the sounds of Peter consuming his cereal shut out the film.

What it means: ‘Vol. 3’ seemingly takes place in early 2026. We most likely will not see Quill once more for some time.

This can be a largely humorous scene with enjoyable banter between the Quill males. 

The most important reveal is that Peter states his age.

Since “Vol. 2” shared that Peter was born in 1980, we all know “Vol. 3” takes place in not less than 2025, two years after everybody returned from the Blip in “Avengers: Endgame.”

Nonetheless, 2022’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vacation Particular” takes place throughout Christmas 2025. That is when Drax and Mantis kidnap Bacon. (In accordance with Disney+’s MCU timeline, the vacation particular happens after “Ms. Marvel,” which takes place in 2025.)

The newspaper Jason reads locations “Vol. 3” after the vacation particular because it mentions Bacon’s abduction. Peter’s from Missouri and we wager his grandfather did not relocate. Because the climate’s comparatively good and never wintery, it is seemingly spring 2026.

However most surprisingly, the ultimate scene says Star-Lord will ultimately return to the MCU. We have now a number of guesses as to how Peter would possibly determine to get again into the motion.

Possibly he will get tired of life on Earth and his grandpa tells him it is OK to return to his area adventures.

Or perhaps Peter’s grandfather dies, and he makes use of touring the galaxy as a coping mechanism. 

It is also totally believable that somebody Peter loves leads to hassle and he is recruited to assist.

No matter occurs, it is almost certainly we’ll see Star-Lord in motion once more when the galaxy wants saving as soon as extra. That will not be till 2025’s “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” or 2026’s “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
