    Moviefone recently had the pleasure of speaking with Dave Bautista about his work on ‘In the Lost Lands’, exploring the world of George R. R. Martin, the pressure that brings, acting opposite Milla Jovovich, and working on the VFX heavy project.

    Moviefone: To begin with, what was your first reaction to the screenplay and what was it like for you to explore the world created by author George R. R. Martin?

    Dave Bautista: Well, my first reaction reading the script was, “I love Boyce because he’s kind of that cowboy I’d been searching for.” Even though this wasn’t necessarily a Western, he just felt like he was ripped straight out of a Western. I loved that and I played him like that, and I thought about this film as, “This is my Western.” Initially, that was what drew me to the character. I just thought Boyce was cool, he’s a cool cowboy. Being George R. R. Martin’s first film comes with a lot of pressure that I’m really starting to feel. It’s a bit uncomfortable, but only because I want to live up to his standard, the standard that he set. He’s obviously very successful and I’m a fan. I don’t want to let people down, I don’t want to let him down, and I don’t want to let the fans down because I know they have high expectations. But those high expectations, they come with a price and that price is a lot of pressure.

    MF: Just to follow up, did you feel that pressure while making the movie or are you still feeling it now as the film is being released?

    DB: I’m starting to feel it now because now it’s starting to become real. Obviously, we did this film a couple of years ago and we’ve been going through the whole process of filming, edits, sales and whatnot. Now, because it’s going to be released very soon, and I’m also starting to get feedback on the film, it’s now real. Also, I really struggle with this and it’s just a personal thing, but I always feel like I become a better actor, a better performer after every project. I’ve done this project, and we did a while ago now, so now when I go back and I look at it, I think, “Oh, I would’ve done this different. I would’ve done that different.” I’m critiquing myself and I’m picking myself apart. That’s just my self-conscious nature, I guess. But again, I don’t want to let any of his fans down. He’s obviously got a massive fan base and I don’t want to let anybody down. So that’s just the pressure that comes with it.

    MF: Can you talk about the bond that Boyce and Gray Alys create together on this journey and what was it like for you working opposite Milla Jovovich?

    DB: It was awesome. I love Milla and I love her husband, Paul. They just made it so comfortable and just so easy. I had talked with Paul a lot before we did the film, and I knew that I was just going to have the time of my life working with him, but I didn’t really meet Milla until we started filming. If I’m a fan of people that I’m working with, I always try to just get it out of the way, and I hope that they’re receptive. If they’re not, and it makes them uncomfortable, then I must approach things differently. But she was so receptive of it, and she never really treated me like I was just a fanboy. She treated me like I was her peer and her equal and her co-star, so it just felt super comfortable. So, these are the kind of experiences that you pray for as an actor because it’s not always this great, but every day going to work on this film just felt like I was going to play with my friends. It was a very collaborative atmosphere and a lot of freedom. It was just fun.

    MF: Finally, when you are working on a project like this that is so VFX heavy, is there an adjustment you must make for yourself as an actor?

    DB: There have been those experiences, but not so much on this one because even though I couldn’t see the big world that was around me, a lot of the immediate world was there for us, it was on stage. Also, it’s really about relationships, especially with Gray and Boyce. Working with Milla, you just kind of get sucked into those moments. The director worries about that, and he has his vision. He knows what that’s going to be, but as an actor, I just kind of get sucked into what’s there in front of me, what I can work with. I’ve had to adjust, but typically, they were on different projects. The Marvel stuff, there’s a lot of adjusting, a lot of adjusting. Even somewhat with ‘Dune’, there was some adjusting, but this one, not so much. I think what we needed to work with as far as performers are right there in front of us, it was all there for us. It was made very easy. But also, this was a very no-pressure film. I didn’t have that pressure of a big Marvel film or a big ‘Dune’-type film. There wasn’t the same type of pressure. This was very much, I don’t know, it felt like a family project where it was very contained and there were only a few people that I was working with every day and interacting with. So, it just felt very contained, very intimate, and very comfortable.

    Bautista was recently asked about the choice of Boutella as Maize by The Hollywood Reporter.

    This is what he had to say:

    “They brought forth other actresses, and I just kept turning them down, saying, ‘No, I just can’t wrap my head around anybody else other than Sofia,’ ”So then I said, ‘Let’s not look for another actress. Let’s just try to move schedules around so we can make Sofia work.’ It took a lot of doing from producers and agents and managers, and Sofia being willing to fly back and forth from Budapest to London while she was on two projects.”

    Moviefone: To begin with, what would you say to audience members sitting down in a theater to prepare them for the theatrical experience they are about to have?

    Chris Pratt: Oh, they’re already in the theater? I’d say turn your phones off, get your popcorn, sit back and relax. You thought you knew Garfield? You didn’t know nothing yet. That’s what I would say, something like that. But to those who are thinking of going to the movies, I would say get your tickets now, because they’re going to sell out. May 24th don’t miss it!

    MF: You are following in the footsteps of Lorenzo Music and Bill Murray, who have both voiced this role. What does it mean to you personally to get a chance to put your own spin on an iconic character like Garfield?

    CP: Man, I’m grateful. This is an entire collaborative effort by a great production team and a wonderful director who had been working on this for years before I jumped on board. So really, I was just honored and blessed that they thought the voice of the guy from ‘Parks and Rec’ was the voice of this cat. That’s what they told me. He said, “I’ve been working on this for years. I keep hearing your voice coming out of this cat in my head. That’s what I want. You’ve got a natural, lazy, sarcastic tone to your voice. I want that voice.” I was like, “Well, that’s cool. Because I know the guy who has that voice, and he could do it for you. I’ve been working on this voice for my whole life, apparently.” So, it was nice. In a way it kind of took the pressure off because I knew what they wanted, and only I could give it to them. It was just something organic and natural, my own breath, my own voice, my own spirit for this character. I feel blessed.

    MF: Can you talk about your approach to the character? Did you relate to him right away?

    CP: Yeah, early on. There are elements in my life that make me feel like Garfield now. I’m very pampered. I’m a Hollywood guy. There was a certain affectation in the voice which was kind of closer to what a person sounds like when they’re about to yawn, and I just thought that was kind of something to work in. That’s where I was feeling like a lot of times the voice would come from, and just trusting the director and knowing that we had a great script. Once the action took over, it was about a character that was on an adventure. So, it’s like the sleepiness and the laziness that really works for the character who’s being pampered and who’s living a lazy life. But when you’re on the run and you’re in a heist movie, you must shift gears and become a character on an action adventure. Because suddenly, this cat that’s typically sarcastic and a little bit of a biting, comedic laziness, can’t be sarcastic and lazy, he must be on the road. Once you get clipping along, that’s what the movie becomes.

    MF: Finally, we got to see Garfield’s origin story in this movie, and meet his father, Vic. Can you talk a little bit about that and Garfield’s relationship with Vic?

    CP: It’s a great relationship. Samuel L. Jackson voices Vic beautifully. Vic is this streetwise, scruffy, outdoor cat, and he’s kind of on the run. Garfield is your world-famous lasagna-loving, Monday-hating, sarcastic, indoor-pampered pet. Vic takes him on this epic outdoor adventure along with Odie, and they basically are enlisted in this really high-stakes and super-funny heist scenario. So that’s the movie. That’s the relationship. The relationship is one of a father who his son believed abandoned him in an alley one day, and you see that from the trailer. You see that in the opening scene of the movie that he’s got an issue with this guy Vic who claims to be his dad, because his dad left him in an alley. So, healing that relationship and seeing the father try to teach this cat some valuable tricks of the trade, some hard knocks lessons on how to be an outdoor cat, is some of the fun in the movie.

  • ‘Sleeping Dogs’ Exclusive Interview: Karen Gillan

    Opening in theaters on March 22nd is the new mystery thriller ‘Sleeping Dogs’ which was co-written and directed by Adam Cooper (‘Assassin’s Creed’) and stars Russell Crowe (‘Gladiator’) and Karen Gillan (‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’).

    Moviefone: To begin with, can you talk about your first reaction to the screenplay and the aspects of your character that you were excited to explore on screen?

    Karen Gillan: When I first read the script, I was like, “Oh, this is a really fun, twisty thriller, a sort of who done it, and I definitely didn’t see the ending coming.” So that one caught me off guard, which was quite exciting. Then in terms of the character, I found her interesting because she’s this psychology student, she’s studying under the man who was murdered in the movie that everyone’s trying to solve. She’s sort of a woman who wears many masks in her life for various reasons. So that was one of the more attractive things about the role for me was getting to kind of play all these different versions of her and figure out why she is that way and why she takes on these different personalities.

    MF: Laura is first seen through the perspective of other characters. Can you talk about your approach to playing her and did it seem at times like you were playing different versions of the character?

    KG: Yeah, it’s interesting because first, she’s a person who wears many masks and assumes different personalities depending on who she’s interacting with and what she wants out of the situation. But on top of that, this movie is told from various perspectives of different characters. So, you’re sort of introduced to her through the eyes of her ex-boyfriend. Any ex is going to have a very specific view of a person. So, that was interesting to play with, like what was she like through his eyes and then what was she really like? Also, on top of that, she’s sort of shape-shifting a little bit.

    MF: Without giving anything away, can you talk about how Laura is involved in the mystery?

    KG: So, she is the student of the man who has been murdered. She is connected to it because she’d been working with him on this big piece. All her research had gone into it, but she wasn’t getting any credit for it. Her professor was taking all the credit and so therefore she wasn’t very happy about that. I won’t say anymore, but that’s how she’s connected.

    MF: What was it like working with Russell Crowe and watching the way he approaches making movies?

    KG: Oh, it was so cool working with Russell Crowe. He’s like a legendary movie star. I grew up watching him. The first time I had a proper scene with him, I watched him sort of act for the first time in person and I was like, “Oh, that’s why you’re a movie star.” He has that thing that’s hard to articulate, the quality that makes a person a movie star. He has that, a lot of it.

    MF: What did you learn from watching him work and the way he interacts with the cast and crew?

    KG: I feel like I learned a great deal. I mean, I was totally watching him from within the scenes. It was great. When I was watching him in the scenes, it was like, “Oh, you are very good at this.” He’s very aware of the camera and very sort of technically savvy. Then he adjusts his performance around that. So that was interesting. He just seems like he really understands movie making, all of it, not just the acting part. He really has a grasp of all of it, which was kind of interesting to see.

    MF: What was it like collaborating with director Adam Cooper on set?

    KG: It was great. Adam’s the best. He’s such a lovely guy, which creates a safe feeling atmosphere so that you can offer things up and try things, fall flat on your face and fail, and not be dying of humiliation. He’s collaborative. He also wrote it, so that was handy. If we had any ideas, he was able to take our ideas. I feel like as actors, we have a lot of ideas for adjustments and then it takes a writer to come in and be like, “Oh, here’s how you make that better.” That’s exactly what he was like. So, he would listen to our ideas and then we would get to put it through the Adam machine of making it a better line.

    MF: Finally, the movie is a throwback to classic noir movies, is that a genre you enjoy?

    KG: It’s such a vibe. Noir, thriller, who done it. All that stuff is always fun to watch. I really like films like that. My favorite film is probably ‘The Silence at the Lambs,’ so it’s that sort of serial killer thing, and all the psychology that goes along with it. I saw some parallels between that and this in terms of vibe and themes.

    Preview:

    • Seann Gunn will work again with filmmaker brother James Gunn.
    • He’ll play Maxwell Lord across several DC Studios projects.
    • The plan is reportedly to introduce him in the background of ‘Superman: Legacy’

    We all know James Gunn likes working with friends and family he finds have talent. And among them, his brother Sean has turned out to be among the best.

    He has played a variety of roles across the writer/director’s work but might be best known as both Kraglin and providing all the performance capture/initial acting as Rocket Raccoon on the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ trilogy.

    Now, according to Deadline, Sean Gunn is taking a new role in the DC Studios universe (he previously played Weasel in ‘The Suicide Squad’, who pops up in animated series ‘Creature Commandos’).

    But going forward, it appears he’ll be more known as human villain Maxwell Lord.

    Who is Maxwell Lord?

    The character’s origins in the DC comic book universe date back to issue #1 of the 1987 ‘Justice League’ comic book series, created by Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire. At first glance, he’s a cunning businessman and an ally to the members of the Justice League, who was fundamental in orchestrating Justice League International. His unsuspecting charm even won over characters such as Blue Beetle and the Martian Manhunter.

    But then, in ‘Justice League International’, issue #12, we learn that Lord had been doing the bidding of an evil computer in an attempt to replace all world leaders with robots. Though he did end up destroying the computer and breaking free from its influence, it wasn’t long before Lord became a powerful foe of his own accord: after gaining a metahuman ability in 1988’s
    ‘Invasion!’ limited series, Lord began to unleash his mind-control powers against humanity.

    Pedro Pascal played the character in 2020’s ‘Wonder Woman 1984’, a businessman who discovers a powerful relic that can grant wishes and uses it to snatch power and influence for himself.

    James Gunn has yet to officially confirm the news, though it’s a fair bet that he’ll keep on working with his brother. Deadline has heard that Sean Gunn’s Lord will be referenced in the background of ‘Superman: Legacy’ (which his brother is about to start directing, with David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Supes and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane).

    He’ll have more of a role to play in future movies and, potentially, TV series.

    Little is truly known about the plotline at this point, but Gunn has been clear that he’s eschewing the usual exploding home planet Krypton/arrival in Smallville origin story (though those will likely be referenced) in favor of more of a workplace film with Clark showing up to work at the Planet, where Lois will already be an established reporting star.

    Peter Safran said this about the new movie during the duo’s big announcement about DC films and series going forward:

    “It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old-fashioned.”

    When will ‘Superman: Legacy’ be in theaters?

    According to James Gunn, the film remains on track to start shooting next year with a planned release of July 11th, 2025.

  • James Gunn Teases a ‘Legendary Star-Lord’ Movie Could Happen

    Marvel Studio's 'Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3.'

    As moviegoers, we’ve long learned to wait around through and after the credits for Marvel films, which often tend to tease future stories or throw in an extra joke or two.

    From the sounds of new statements made by writer/director James Gunn on the director’s commentary for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’, the post-credit scene from the final part of his trilogy could serve as both.

    k5kA3qeDcQFylAb4AgIbb6

    SPOILER ALERT here for anyone who has not seen the movie.

    After the credits of ‘Vol. 3’ have rolled, we catch up with Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill (AKA Star-Lord), who at the end of the movie, announces that he’s leaving a life of high adventure in outer space to look up what remains of his family in Earth.

    Rocking up at his grandfather’s (Gregg Henry) house, he has an emotional reunion with his one main living relative and is later seen sharing breakfast with the man (reading a newspaper whose front page boasts a story about Kevin Bacon’s experiences with alien abduction, a fun nod to the ‘Guardians’ Holiday Special‘ that Gunn shot around the same time as the new movie).

    And following that? A title card that reads, “The legendary Star-Lord will return…”

    Now, we’re sure many fans’ minds were turned more towards the idea that Quill will be back as part of one of the big MCU team-up movies (two ‘Avengers’ outings are on the way in 2026 and 2027) or possibly popping up to cameo in some other character’s film, as he and some of the other Guardians did in ‘Thor: Love & Thunder’.

    Yet Gunn’s words point towards a Star-Lord stand-alone.

    What did Gunn say about the potential spin-off?

    Here’s what Gunn had to stay about a Star-Lord movie, as reported by The Direct:

    “We always want to give somebody a little something special. And Chris and I, forever, have talked about how great it would be to be able to do a ‘Legendary Star-Lord’ movie, a story with Star-Lord on Earth trying to adapt to the environment of Earth in the same way that somebody else might try to adapt to the alien environment of outer space. He’s a fish out of water in just kind of regular water. So, I can’t wait to see it.”

    Gunn’s future

    Writer and director James Gunn at Los Angeles premiere of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.’

    It’s key there that Gunn says he can’t wait to see it rather than make it. Which would make sense since he’s a little busy for the foreseeable future. Gunn is co-chief of DC Studios, overseeing (alongside producer Peter Safran) Warner Bros. Discovery’s DC Comics-based movie and TV output.

    And as a filmmaker, he’s in the midst of gearing up to shoot a new Superman film, ‘Superman: Legacy’, which will fully kick off his DC universe and recently cast its Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

    As for who might take up the mantle of a Star-Lord movie, that’s a mystery for now. And we’d stress that Marvel has made no official announcement of any future ‘Guardians’ films or spin-off, so despite the source, treat this one as still a rumor for now.

    Let’s get hooked on a feeling one more time with the latest installment of the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ franchise – ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3’

    The film is set after the events of ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special’, where we find the band of misfits in their new home on Knowhere. Unexpectedly, a new powerful enemy crashes in and injures Rocket, and if the Guardians don’t act fast enough, it could mean life or death for their teammate.

    k5kA3qeDcQFylAb4AgIbb6

    The official synopsis for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ is below:

    “In Marvel Studios ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ our beloved band of misfits are looking a bit different these days. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own. A mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.”

    ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ opened in theaters on May 5th, 2023, to $118.4 million domestically and has grossed over $348.5 million since its opening. Worldwide box office earnings have grossed over $825.3 million since its release. This was a highly anticipated film among Marvel fans and is certified Fresh on aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, with an 82% score from critics and a 94% score from the audience.

    Our team of galactic heroes for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ includes Chris Pratt (‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana (‘Avatar: The Way of Water’) as Gamora, Dave Bautista (‘Knock at the Cabin’) as Drax the Destroyer, Karen Gillan (‘Jumanji: The Next Level’) as Nebula, Pom Klementieff (‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’) as Mantis, Vin Diesel (‘Fast X’) as the voice of Groot, Bradley Cooper (‘A Star Is Born’) as the voice of Rocket, Sean Gunn (‘The Suicide Squad’) as Kraglin, Elizabeth Debicki (‘Tenet’) as Ayesha, and Sylvester Stallone (‘Samaritan’) as Stakgar Ogord. Newcomers to the franchise include Chudwuki Iwuji (‘The Girl Who Got Away’) as The High Evolutionary, Will Poulter (‘We’re the Millers’) as Adam Warlock, Maria Bakalova (‘Borat Subsequent Moviefilm’) as the voice of Cosmo the Dog, and Daniela Melchior (‘Fast X’) as Ura.

    The New Galactic Threats

    The team faces brand new threats in this movie, with the stakes being higher than ever when it involves one of the members of the team. Still recovering from his heartbreak and loss of Gamora, Peter Quill and his band of misfits are settled in on Knowhere when Adam Warlock crashes in.

    Adam Warlock has long been teased to appear in the MCU since ‘Thor: Dark World’ and the first ‘Guardians of the Galaxy.’ However, it was in the post-credit scene in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2’ that confirmed his appearance. Played by Will Poulter, the MCU’s Adam Warlock origin differs from the comics. Instead of being created by scientists, Adam Warlock in the film is a Sovereign warrior created by the high priestess Ayesha and The High Evolutionary.

    The film also introduces The High Evolutionary (played by Chukwudi Iwuji) to the MCU. A geneticist whose personal mission is to create the perfect species, he abducted various creatures for his experiment, with Rocket Raccoon (then named 89P13) being one of his test subjects. When Rocket points out the flaws in The High Evolutionary’s project, it confuses and angers him to the point where he orders Rocket’s brain to be removed so that he can study him.

    Rocket manages to escape. Years later, when The High Evolutionary learns of his involvement with the Guardians of the Galaxy, he orders Adam Warlock to retrieve him at all costs.

    Rocket’s Story

    When it comes to the Guardians of the Galaxy, we know we’re in for a grand space adventure, with hilarious banter between the Guardians. However, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ takes on a more somber and emotional tone. With director James Gunn being the co-chairman of DC Studios, this is likely the final film he’ll direct for Marvel. This movie not only wraps up the adventures of the current team of the Guardians, but it also dives into the origin story of Rocket.

    Previously named 89P13, Rocket Raccoon is subjected to tests and experiments by The High Evolutionary. In flashback scenes, we meet Rocket’s fellow cagemates Floor, Teefs, and Lylla. The four friends found comfort in each other, often playing games and daydreaming about the “forever and beautiful sky.” The message of animal cruelty is not missed in the film, and what The High Evolutionary does to Rocket and his friends will send a shock through your system and gives you an insight into some of Rocket’s hardened personality.

    Though the Guardians tend to bicker with each other, the group has become quite close-knit. Once Rocket’s life is on the line, his friends will stop at nothing to save him, even if it means sacrificing themselves. Rocket is definitely the heart of this story and we suggest you have some tissues on standby when you watch.

    Writer, director and producer James Gunn is one of the most popular filmmakers working today!

    Gunn began his career writing such popular movies as ‘Scooby-Doo‘ and Zach Snyder‘s ‘Dawn of the Dead,’ and would eventually go on to direct his own movies like ‘Slither‘ and ‘Super‘ before taking on the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ franchise for Marvel Studios and ‘The Suicide Squad‘ for DC.

    Gunn is also the new co-chairman and co-CEO of DC Studios along with producer Pater Safran, and will soon be writing and directing ‘Superman: Legacy.’ Meanwhile, his final film in the ‘Guardians’ trilogy, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3‘ is currently in theaters now.

    With ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’, writer/director James Gunn brings his Marvel trilogy to a close. The next film of Marvel’s Phase 5 opens in theaters everywhere on May 5th.

    When the movie opens, 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 (Chris Pratt), still reeling from the loss of Gamora (Zoe Saldaña), must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s (Bradley Cooper) life — a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians.

    The film also stars Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, featuring Vin Diesel as Groot and Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Will Poulter and Maria Bakalova.

    Moviefone recently had the pleasure of attending the global virtual press conference for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ along with several other members of the press. In attendance were James Gunn, Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan, Sean Gunn, Will Poulter, Chukwudi Iwuji, Pom Klementieff, Maria Bakalova and President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige.

    Here are the 10 things we learned from the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ global virtual press conference:

    1. James Gunn Will Miss Working on the Movies

    Gunn, who is now focused on his work at DC Studios, reflected on the impact of the ‘Guardians’ trilogy.

    James Gunn: I think it’s changed me in so many ways. I mean, everything I’ve learned from Kevin and Lou (executive producer Louis D’Esposito). I think also, in terms of just this family of people, I’ve been really good at hiring non-jerks. Not only non-jerks, but people who are actually positive, compassionate, loving, kind people. And so, I’ve just grown incredibly close to these people. I really love them. And it makes making movies a much more pleasant experience. So, my main memories are not going to the premieres or, you know, going on these press junkets. It’s being on set and having the little moments. It’s doing bits with Chris in between sets. It’s, talking to Sean. Watching Chuk turn in an amazing performance. Goofing around with Pom, wondering what the hell she’s talking about. I’m gonna miss the characters. That’s the saddest part for me, is I really, truly love these characters. I love all of them. I think there’s certain ones that I have a special fondness for, especially Rocket. And yeah, the saddest part of all of this. I’m gonna see all these people again. They’re all friends of mine. But I’m not gonna see the characters. I’m not gonna be writing the characters again, at least not in the near future. And so, that’s a real sadness.

    2. Chris Pratt Says We Find His Character in a Bad Emotional Place

    Pratt talked about how Peter “Star Lord” Quill is still recovering from the losses he’s suffered.

    Chris Pratt: I think, oftentimes, we find ourselves in our relationships or in the affiliations we have with a team or a family or whatever. And he has been lost. So, yeah, in the beginning, he was running away from the death of his mother, but he got to pretend to be this character based on these pop culture icons of his childhood of the late-’80s. And so, he was dancing around, but all of that was really, he had found himself there. But it was kinda B.S., you know? And then he found himself with the Guardians of the Galaxy. And then he thought he could find himself with who his father was. So, he’s a guy who’s constantly been searching for who he is. And then he found it again in his relationship with Gamora. And so, when that’s stripped away from him, he’s a guy who’s realizing that all of these various people that he’s found that are Quill, none of them have been the real him. And so, he is, he’s lost. And that probably does mean that he’s sad.

    3. Kevin Feige Says ‘Vol. 3’ is Different From Other Marvel Trilogies

    The Marvel boss explained the thinking behind the new movie.

    Kevin Feige: We’ve had trilogies before. We’ve had a number of them, actually. And I was thinking, why does this feel so different and so much of a passage of some sort? And it’s because Guardians really was the first movie that was completely outside of the realm. It tied in with Thanos and Infinity Stones. But The Avengers were not in it. And we weren’t setting up Tony Stark’s next adventure, or Captain America. And it was really our attempt of saying, we don’t wanna just do superhero movies. We don’t want to just do ‘Iron Man‘ movies or ‘Avengers‘ movies. And we wanted to do a big space movie. And it worked in a crazy way. It worked entirely because of James Gunn. So, it just feels like this trilogy, and James writing and directing all three of them, it represents something unique within the pantheon of the MCU, that I’m very proud of.

    4. Pom Klementieff Explained the Differences Between the Comic-book Mantis and the Movie Version

    Mantis, the emotion-and-memory manipulating character we met in ‘Vol. 2‘ has changed a lot from the comic book version.

    Pom Klementieff: I think it was so interesting to give a different version of Mantis. I mean, in the comic books, she was great, too. She was, like, very powerful. But kinda similar to a lot of other female characters in the Marvel universe or in other superhero movies. I think it was so interesting to give a different take on a female character and make it give more comedy and more awkwardness and something different.

    James Gunn also talked about the character.

    James Gunn: I think it’s also cool to have somebody who their superpower is empathy. It is feelings. Emotions are so important to Mantis. And we’re so used to this very male, hardcore, macho, shooting rays out of their arms, or throwing automobiles and shooting people.

    5. Sean Gunn on Kraglin Finding His Place Among the Characters

    Gunn (brother to James), who plays the Ravager-turned-Guardian Kraglin, explained how his character’s journey mirrored his own.

    Sean Gunn: I think that, just like all the Guardians, Kraglin had to figure out what his place in the family was. And one thing that really impresses me about the movies is how I do feel, in a way, that the journey of the cast has mirrored the journey of the characters, in a way. And that for me, being there in the first movie and feeling like, ‘oh, I’m the director’s brother and I’m here and I’m kind of on the outside.’ And Kraglin is just on the peripheral, and he comes in and says his things here and there. And then learning that, over the course of the movies, that I felt as much at home with all these people, that I felt fully accepted and a full member of the cast and of the group.

    6. Kevin Feige Talked About the Challenges of the ‘Guardians’ Movies to Begin With

    He was, he says, “nervous” about tackling the characters, but had faith in Gunn.

    Kevin Feige: It always makes me nervous. But the goal has always been to do justice to the audience members who have loved these characters their whole lives, and to audience members who’ve never heard of these characters, or who heard of them for the first time in the trailer or in the poster. Which, for ‘Guardians’ in particular, was certainly the majority of the audience. Now on the flip side of that, there are people who go, “Well, people don’t really know the Guardians, so you really have a lot of leeway to do new things.” Which you do, but James was constantly going to the comics and constantly referring to the comics and constantly building off of the storylines. So, people who did know these characters from the more recent run at the time, or the early run, saw things they could get excited about. And just as important, people who never heard of this crazy spaceman with a tree and a raccoon.

    7. Maria Bakalova Loves Playing Cosmo the Space Dog

    The ‘Borat’ sequel star brought the canine character to life on set via Performance Capture

    Maria Bakalova: When I was auditioning for the part, I was, “How can I play this?” And it was so interesting, because you can make it be a little bit more over the top, because she’s a puppy and she has more energy. And then, when I found out that I can be on set, actually, and work with a mo-cap suit, and imagine that I’m a child again and use my imagination to be like, “Okay, today I’m going to be a dog. Tomorrow I will be a flower. The next day, I’m going to be a butterfly.” It’s interesting, we tend to forget about imagination when we grow up. And it’s been just incredible.

    8. James Gunn Has A Policy for the Music in the ‘Guardians’ Movies

    ‘Vol. 3’, like its predecessors is full of great tunes. And Gunn curates his soundtracks carefully.

    James Gunn: I want to give good music to people by good bands! And I snuck a couple of favorites in there. I snuck my friends, you know, The Replacements in there. I snuck Alice Cooper, my hero, in there. When I’m writing, I put the music in along with the script. I write it in. But sometimes I change it. Sometimes on this, it was very difficult choosing the music for this movie because in the first two movies, they were basically all am ‘70s pop hits. In this one, it takes place after Yondu (Michael Rooker) gives Peter Quill a Zune at the end of the second movie. And it’s music from the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s, 2000s. I could choose from anything. So, it was very difficult because of that.

    9. Pratt Would Happily Make More Movies with James Gunn

    While Gunn might not be making any more ‘Guardians’ films, Pratt still wants to work with him.

    Chris Pratt: First of all, I’d jump at the opportunity. Making movies is really fun. When you get to do it with people that you love, it’s even more fun. That’s the journey, right? The destination, it sometimes sucks. You have this great time with all your friends, and you get together and you work hard. And then you see the movie and you’re like, “Boy, that movie sucked. But, hey, that was a lot of fun to make it.” With James, it’s been both the journey and the destination have been glorious. The films are incredible. I don’t know how he does it. And so, just selfishly, I’d be willing to deal with a terrible journey to get to this destination.

    10. Karen Gillan Enjoyed Nebula’s Character Development

    Nebula has evolved from an antagonist in the original movie to a key member of the team here.

    Karen Gillan: It’s been beautiful to see. Nebula was always the kind of bitter one. So jealous of Gamora. And then, she evolved and Gamora kind of helped her gain some compassion along the way. And now they’ve switched places in a way. Which has been really interesting to play around with. But yeah. It’s been really beautiful to watch their relationship evolve and become what it is. It’s been amazing.
