Avengers: Infinity War is going to pit Earth's Mightiest Heroes against Thanos and Captain Marvel will take place in the midst of the Kree/Skrull War. If that makes you think the Marvel Cinematic Universe is taking a turn for the cosmic, you're right, as Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has confirmed that the third instalment of the franchise will set up a new wave of stories set in space.
With the contracts of actors like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans nearing an end, it appears as if Kevin Feige is planning on finally utilising Marvel characters who call the wider Galaxy their home.
"One of the things I’m doing with creating Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 — it will take place after the next two Avengers movies — and it will help to set up the next 10, 20 years of Marvel movies," Gunn confirmed during a recent fan Q&A. "It’s going to really expand the cosmic universe." It remains to be seen which characters will be introduced in this movie but the possibilities are now endless.
