“ForGuardians 3, the script has basically been written for a long time.

It’s pretty heavy actually.

It’s a heavier story, so it’s an emotional process to go through.”

“Oh, that’s easy.

That’s a blast,” said Gunn.

“I wrote that a couple of months ago, and I’m really, really happy with it.

I’m going to shoot that at the same time asGuardians 3.

So we’re using some of the same sets.

I think it’s going to be a good holiday special.”
