series has a reputation for having some of the best needle drops in the MCU, and is no exception. From the very first moments of the first film in 2014, which featured Chris Pratt's Star-Lord bopping along to Redbone's «Come and Get Your Love» on his Walkman, director James Gunn has punctuated his fun-loving space adventure with a memorable collection of songs, immortalized on the film's aptly titled  soundtracks.So, what are some of the favorite needle drops of the Guardians themselves? ET's Ash Crossan sat down with some of the cast, ahead of the release of the third and final, to find out.«Lake Shore Drive» by Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah«I think my favorite song of the entire trilogy is probably the opening song for the opening movie — it's probably 'Come and Get Your Love.'… I love that song, but I also got to say there's a really special place in my heart for 'Lake Shore Drive' in the second movie, which is from my past. James and I grew up in the Midwest, and that was kind of a local hit in the Midwest.

The “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise is set to end with its third and final movie, but the cast’s group text isn’t going anywhere.

Ahead of the release of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," the film's leading star Chris Pratt is opening up about the support he has received in resuming his role in the Marvel Universe. No support is quite like that of his father-in-law, action star and former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.  "Arnold's support means the world to me on a couple different levels.

Chris Pratt really loves his father-in-law.

Karen Gillan’s Nebula costume isn’t the easiest to just take off when you realize your plans clash.

Chris Pratt is sharing the grandpa name his famous father-in-law, Arnold Schwarzenegger, goes by.The 43-year-old Marvel star is dad to 2-year-old Lyla and almost 1-year-old daughter Eloise with wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, and 10-year-old son Jack with his ex-wife, Anna Faris.Pratt spoke with ET at the New York premiere of his film, on Wednesday night, where he opened up about Arnold's praise for the new film and shared the grandpa name the star uses.«Isn't that so nice? Arnold, Opa, Arnold we call him, he came to the premiere,» Pratt told ET. «And yeah, he was so nice to give me love and support on his social media.

Dedicated to her craft! Karen Gillan was laser focused while filming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 — and a forgotten therapy appointment left her in an awkward situation. 

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Marvel scripts are always top secret, but “Guardians of the Galaxy” star Pom Klementieff almost took things to a new level by burying her “Vol. 3” script in co-star Karen Gillan’s garden. Klementieff joined the Marvel franchise as Mantis in “Vol 2.” After James Gunn was initially fired as the director of “Guardians Vol. 3” because of controversial jokes he made on Twitter in the past, the two actors got together privately to read Gunn’s script. “I came over to Karen’s house and it was at a time where James Gunn was not supposed to do the movie anymore,” Klementieff told IndieWire. “So we decided to read the script together and we cried the whole time.”

Karen Gillian shared a behind-the-scenes photo from when she had accidentally scheduled a couples therapy session during filming.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director With the release of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” comes the end of James Gunn’s tenure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The filmmaker is exiting the MCU after directing three “Guardians” movies and is moving on to his new full-time job as the co-head of DC Studios, where he’s building a new DC Universe across film, television and video games that includes a Superman movie he’s writing and directing. Gunn’s “Guardians” cast members Zoe Saldaña and Dave Bautista have already gone on record saying they’re exiting Marvel along with Gunn following the release of “Guardians Vol. 3.” Chris Pratt, who has headlined the “Guardians” franchise as Star Lord, is a different story. Speaking to Total Film magazine, Pratt said he would continue to play the character as long as Marvel honors what Gunn started.

Filmmaker James Gunn’s Marvel Studios swan song, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, is blasting off this weekend, the de facto start of the summer box office, with an eye at $250M worldwide. Of that $110M is coming from domestic, and $140M from overseas.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” the conclusion to Marvel’s trilogy about an intergalactic crew of misfits, looks to kick off summer moviegoing season with a bang. The superhero adventure is hoping to bring in $120 million in its opening weekend, falling in between the starts of 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” ($94 million) and 2017’s sequel ($146 million). There’s a chance that “Vol. 3” could fall short of those projections and land closer to a less-spectacular $110 million to $118 million, according to independent tracking services. Of course, it’s hard to chide a film that hits $100 million in its domestic debut. But the idea, especially for tentpoles that cost $200 million-plus, is to grow, not shrink, the fanbase with new installments. Reviews for “Guardians 3” are decent (it holds a 78% on Rotten Tomatoes) but sources say tracking has been stagnant in the lead-up to its theatrical premiere. That points to either mounting indifference to the newest phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or a sign that Disney waited too long to conclude the “Guardians” story, which began nearly a decade ago and turned Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista into bona fide movie stars and writer-director James Gunn into an A-list filmmaker. At the same time, there’s not really a gauge for a franchise that’s 32 films deep.

Jenny Slate is ready to set to join Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni and Brandon Sklenar in the big-screen adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel “It Ends With Us,” which is currently in development with Wayfarer Studios and Sony Pictures, TheWrap has confirmed. Baldoni will also direct.

Chris Pratt was prepared to give up on appearing in a Marvel film after one too many failed auditions.  Pratt revealed on Thursday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that he "auditioned for Thor, but not even to be Thor – but to be one of the sidekick guys, and I didn’t get a callback." He continued, "Usually they give you a little bit of feedback, and I remember the casting director goes, ‘Wow. You really made a big choice there.’ Which is code for like, ‘Hey, dial back the acting there, guy.’" After continuously being denied roles in a Marvel film, Pratt "got to the point where I was never gonna audition for Marvel again." "I was like, 'This is stupid, I’m never gonna be in a Marvel movie,'" he admitted to Kimmel.

While “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” crosses the billion-dollar mark this weekend at the global box office, another big Chris Pratt film is heading to theaters next week with “Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.

BIG premiere, throwing one of the most-coveted bashes in recent weeks. Not to be outdone, Coachella Valley Music and Art Festival brought Zendaya back to the mic, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” actually took over a mile of Manhattan and “Citadel” stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden did the same in the heart of Westwood.

Never give up, because good things may be just around the corner. Case in point: Chris Pratt.

Pom Klementieff reprises her role of Mantis in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” with an added layer that she is related to Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill as of last year’s Christmas Special.During the “Guardians” Christmas Special starring Kevin Bacon that aired in November 2022, Mantis quietly brought up to Drax (Dave Bautista) that Ego was her father, meaning she is Peter’s sister. And that changes things going into this last fillm in the “Guardians” franchise.“The stakes are bigger for sure,” she told TheWrap.

Chris Pratt has gone through some tough auditions in his acting career, but it sounds like nothing was worse than trying out for a strip club.

Chris Pratt is opening up about his “rough run with Marvel.”

Longtime Marvel Cinematic Universe actress Karen Gillan is opening up about her dream role in the DC universe now that her work is done on Guardians of the Galaxy.

Jimmy Kimmel.The talk show host, 55, asked the “Guardians of the Galaxy” star, 43, if his Marvel auditions were the “toughest” tryouts he’d ever had to endure, to which the actor offered a surprise response.“I mean, in my career as an actor maybe, but I had an audition once when I was 18 years old in Edmonds, Washington, at a strip club called Mr. Pattywhacks,” Pratt revealed. “It was in the middle of the day, and the place was nasty,” he added, explaining that he danced for “one dude” to the song “Pony” by Ginuwine, which he said was “too slow” for him to feel comfortable.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 has received mixed reviews, although some are hailing it “the best Marvel film in years”.Vol. 3 picks up after the events of Avengers: Endgame, with Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) still reeling from the loss of Gamora (Zoe Saldana).The Guardians find themselves adjusting to life on Knowhere as parts of Rocket’s (Bradley Cooper) past resurface.

It’s easy to forget now, given the wild success of the franchise since, but remember the context of the time: filmmaker James Gunn did the unthinkable and overcame great odds with 2014’s “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 1.” Moreso than almost any other Marvel characters that led their own movies in the last 20+ years, the Guardians were mostly unknown C-list characters, and many skeptical pundits were expecting a bomb because audiences would be unfamiliar.

Charna Flam James Gunn told Variety Thursday night that his upcoming DC Studios movie, “Superman: Legacy” hasn’t found its leading man just yet — but the production is considering “some really great choices.” On the red carpet for Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” MCU actors, Pom Klementieff and Will Poulter also teased whether or not they’d join the director for his upcoming DC movie. Gunn explained exactly what he is looking for his Clark Kent. “The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has but he’s also an alien,” Gunn told Variety’s Marc Malkin. “It’s gotta be somebody who has the kindness and the compassion that Superman has and be somebody who you want to give a hug.” As for whether or not Gunn is recruiting “Guardians” star Chris Pratt for the role, he said. “It’s not Chris Pratt. If he was a few years younger, maybe.” The DC Studios co-head announced in December he was writing the upcoming feature, and in March he was then confirmed as the “Superman: Legacy” director. He recently revealed that “costumes, production design and more are now up and running.”James Gunn reveals what he's looking for in the next Superman at the premiere of #GuardiansoftheGalaxyVol3. https://t.co/G3QElsKbUh pic.twitter.com/GkWRmVy5Pq— Variety (@Variety) April 28, 2023

It’s the 32nd Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, which means we’ve reached the point where they’re telling us the weepy origin story of a talking raccoon.Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) is the order of the day in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” the final entry in the trilogy, in which the furry wiseguy is nearly killed and his co-heroes must chase down the assailant within 48 hours to save his little life.Running time: 150 minutes.

There’s a sense of an ending in part three of the Guardians trilogy, but not in the sense of the franchise actually, you know, coming to an end. Like almost Marvel movies these days, it presents a continuum, giving all the main players an out while leaving the door wide open to a fourth iteration should they have a change of heart. From the evidence here, that’s entirely possible — there’s no sign of burnout in the adventures of Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord and co. However, there are signs of wear and tear in the conventions of the series: once its most refreshing aspect, the mixtape soundtrack seems more of a burden now, having long abandoned the conceit of the original C90.
