Disney+ has announced today that Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will begin streaming on the platform starting August 2.
The threequel has been available to buy on Digital since July 7 and hits DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD on August 1. We would say it's surprising to see the movie premiere on Disney+ so quickly, but that's become the norm following COVID and physical home entertainment media is a borderline niche option these days!
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, our beloved band of misfits are settling into life on Knowhere. But it isn’t long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket’s turbulent past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life—a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.
"As heart-wrenching as it is hilarious," we said in our review earlier this year, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is James Gunn’s masterstroke and a showcase for both his filmmaking talent and a cast that makes everything about this movie simply awesome. An absolute triumph."
The movie stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, featuring Vin Diesel as Groot and Bradley Cooper as Rocket, Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Will Poulter, and Maria Bakalova.
James Gunn is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's director and also wrote the screenplay. Kevin Feige produces with Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Nikolas Korda, Sara Smith, and Simon Hatt serving as executive producers.
As noted, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 comes exclusively to Disney+ on August 2, joining the other two films of the trilogy, Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
