Over on his official account, Gunn celebrated the long-awaited release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 — which serves as Marvel’s latest superhero venture that is showing in theaters all across the country today. And, as Gunn perfectly explains it, his desire to create a trilogy as magical and popular as Star Wars continues to pump his motivation to make the best Guardians movies. Of course, releasing in theaters on May the 4th is about as good as it gets. You can check out the post for yourself down below.
