GOTG 3 Breaks An MCU Post-Credits Trend For Only The 2nd Time Since 2019

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 became only the second movie to break a Marvel Cinematic Universe post-credits trend since 2019. While Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3‘s deaths did not include any team members like in the franchise’s two previous films, the trilogy finale was still very emotional. James Gunn perfectly closed this chapter of the MCU’s cosmic team while also leaving the door open should another director step in to lead the Guardians in a fourth movie or if the team is called upon to appear in any future MCU movies, such as the upcoming two Avengers films — The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars.
