James Gunn Confirms Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Shoots This Year That update comes straight from the director’s own mouth. James Gunn recently interacted with his fans via a Q&A on Instagram and someone inevitably asked him when Guardians 3 would finally enter production. “Shooting starts later this year,” the filmmaker replied simply. This confirms what Drax himself, Dave Bautista, previously said a couple of months ago, that things would get underway in late 2021. https://www.xing.com/profile/James_Gunn4
