GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 Is Set After INFINITY WAR; VOL 2. Will Have Another Secret Easter Egg

After recent comments, some fans speculated the third installment of Guardians of the Galaxy could take place prior to Avengers: Infinity War, something director James Gunn has now refuted.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed yesterday that there will be a four year gap between the events of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War. While it's certainly a long interval for the spacefaring misfits, it makes sense considering that Vol. 2 picks up a month or so after the 2014 events of the first film, and Infinity War will be set (more or less) in 2018.

Given the stretch of time, it led some fans to speculate that the now-confirmed sequel, Vol 3., may be set somewhere in that four year gap. However, James Gunn seemingly assured in an interview with The Independent that the third installment would be taking place after Infinity War's events; since Gunn is acting as an executive producer for the Avengers epic, he's been on set and heavily involved with the development of the Guardians.

"I’m not totally letting go of the Guardians, I’m still hanging onto them a little as they go through [Infinity War]," Gunn said. "I am with the guys, I’m talking to the Russo Brothers, I’m talking to the cast, I’m dealing with all sorts of stuff so we can have the characters remain true to themselves and they end up where they need to be for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3."

Additionally, Gunn also confirmed that Vol. 2 will follow suit with its predecessor by having another super secret, almost-impossible-to-find Easter Egg for fans. Gunn has been quizzed many times over whether or not the first film's mystery had been discovered, and while the director still wouldn't reveal what it is, he verified that fans have come very close. "I am not going to [reveal anything], but people have gotten very close. So, I don’t think it will be very long until it comes out."

I thought all the easter eggs were discovered

@word1one - Nope, there's been one from the first that Gunn has said no one has found yet.

I feel like the build up for the super secret easter egg has been going on so long that when it finally is revealed, it's going to be super disapointing...

@N0rrinRadical - I'm sure you're right. If it is something that ties at all into v2 I hope he reveals it after that comes out.

@Pigdango - Yeah man. I hope I'm wrong and it's something awesome. It might even be something from his time making Troma films.

@N0rrinRadical - my thoughts exactly. Gunn probably feels the same way and that's why he hasn't disclosed it yet. He's probably like "man this has gone on so long that if I reveal it, they'll be disappointed." I'm over it, personally.

@chewie - That would be a real shame. Maybe he's like "I wish people would just stop talking about it. I said it ONE DAMN TIME!" It must be something pretty niche if literally no one has foud it...

@N0rrinRadical - Yeah, but thing is, he hasn't....he's been rather gleeful about the fact that no one has found it.

@MattBellissimo @chewie @N0rrinRadical @Pigdango - It has nothing to do with Cosmo The Space Dog right? Everybody has seen that Easter egg? lol I just noticed it the other night... but looking back now as im typing this... Im sure everybody has seen it.
Pigdango
Pigdango - 4/26/2017, 8:08 AM
@Kman - Yeah, nothing to do with that. If I had to guess, the Easter Egg has something to do with Ego.

He-Man's foot is alluded to in the background of a scene that never made it past scripting.
