Marvel planned to introduce the Guardians of the Galaxy through One-Shot short films

October 30, 2021 by Gary Collinson

Marvel fans have been given a peek behind the curtain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the recently released book The Story of Marvel Studios, which has offered up a wealth of info on Marvel’s rise from movie studio start-up to global box office behemoth.

Discussing the development of 2013’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which was at the time Marvel’s riskiest project by far, Kevin Feige revealed that the studio originally planned on introducing the lesser-known characters to audiences through a series of Marvel One-Shots (remember those?) that would have played before Phase Two releases Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Taking to social media, director James Gunn has elaborated on the story, and what was planned for the shorts:

Gunn is currently reuniting with his Guardians cast members for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which kicked off production this month and is being shot back-to-back with Disney+’s The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.

Returning for the trilogy closer are Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax the Destroyer), Bradley Cooper (Rocket Raccoon), Vin Diesel (Groot), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Sean Gunn (Kraglin and Rocket Raccoon) and Elizabeth Debecki (Ayesha), while Will Poulter has joined the cast in the role of Adam Warlock.
