Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Specialis officially happening at Disney+ with James Gunn on board to direct. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige made the big reveal earlier at the Disney Investor Day presentation. While Feige dropped a bunch of surprises, a holiday special with the Guardians is not something that anybody, not even the most hardcore Marvel Cinematic Universe fan, saw coming. Hopefully Disney and Marvel Studios fare better than the originalStar Wars Holiday Specialfrom the 1970s.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Specialwill film simultaneously withGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. In a new interview, Drax the Destroyer actor Dave Bautista revealed that the long awaited sequel will begin production late next year. The holiday special will premiere in 2022 on Disney+, though Kevin Feige did not reveal a firm release date. Regardless, Guardians fans will likely be happy that the gang is getting back together for some holiday fun, in addition to their long-awaited sequel.
James Gunn is currently working onThe Suicide Squadfor DC and Warner Bros. He unveiled the very first footage over the summer at the DC FanDome event, but we have yet to see a real trailer. The director is very happy with the script and is excited for DC fans to see what he was able to pull off with some of the lesser-known characters from the comics. This is the same situation Gunn found himself in when he arrived at Marvel Studios to take onGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1.
Not a lot of people outside of Marvel Comics readers even knew thatGuardians of the Galaxyexisted before the first movie came out. However, that all changed when James Gunn took the characters and wrote humorous and emotional storylines for each of the damaged characters. Since then, the Guardians have become fan-favorite characters within the MCU, who had a profound influence overInfinity WarandAvengers: Endgame. Now, they’ll be seen in the upcomingThor: Love and Thunder, before heading into work on their own sequel later next year.
As for whatThe Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Specialwill be all about, that is unclear, other than the holiday aspect of it. Perhaps Groot will become a Christmas tree for the rest of our heroes to place their gifts under. In other Groot news, Kevin Feige also announced that the little guy will get his own special in baby form.I Am Grootis an upcoming show that will give the character his own short stories onDisney+. Basically, Disney is going to be giving out a lot of Marvel andStar Warscontent over the next several years.
