Guardians Of The Galaxy Will Be Supporting Players In AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
Just how significant a role the Guardians of the Galaxy will have in Avengers: Infinity War remains to be seen, but Chris Pratt has made it clear that Earth's Mightiest Heroes will remain the focus.
We've known for a while now that the Guardians of the Galaxy will be making an appearance in Avengers: Infinity War, but just how much screentime they'll be getting hasn't been made clear. However, in an interview with Nerdist to promote the release of Vol. 2, Chris Pratt has explained that while the team will have a key role, they'll be taking a back seat to Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
"We definitely will have a strong presence, but we are playing supporting cast – you know what I mean? We’re there to help them tell an awesome Infinity War story," the actor explained. "But Guardians is cosmic. It is its own special off-shoot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
While many fans would love to see the Guardians have a role as significant as The Avengers, it makes sense that Star-Lord and company will be serving more as backup in the battle against Thanos.
We just have to hope that what screentime they do have is used wisely and that they still end up playing a significant role in proceedings. What do you guys think? Let us know down below.
