Marvel Studios has announced the release date for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on Disney Plus. Despite the inconsistent performance of recent MCU projects, this film proves why Marvel Studios continues to thrive. It has been running in theaters for 10 weeks, receiving acclaim from both critics and fans. Additionally, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has been a huge success at the box office, earning $358 million domestically and a total gross of $842 million worldwide.
Marvel Studios has revealed that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is set to premiere on Disney Plus on August 2nd, 2023. This news should excite Marvel fans with a Disney Plus subscription, as they won't have to wait too long to enjoy the film on the platform. Interestingly, the release date on Disney Plus comes right after the film hits stores on Blu-Ray on August 1st. Moreover, the film has been available digitally since July 7th. It remains to be seen whether the deleted scenes and bonus features of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be exclusively available on digital and Blu-Ray or if they will also be accessible on Disney Plus.
In addition to the announcement, Marvel Studios has unveiled a teaser trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's Disney Plus release date. The trailer provides a brief glimpse into the entire trilogy and emphasizes that "the guardians are coming home." On August 2nd, Guardians fans will have the opportunity to watch the entire trilogy in one place, along with The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which contains important information for understanding the third film.
The first Guardians of the Galaxy film became the foundation for subsequent MCU movies. Other MCU projects have attempted to replicate the successful blend of action and humor, with mixed results. Some fans feel that this formulaic approach hinders the films from reaching their full potential. However, the critical and financial success of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 suggests that the franchise may once again help steer the MCU in the right direction.
Overall, the final installment of Guardians of the Galaxy is enjoyable and recommended for fans who have a Disney Plus subscription. Game Rant gave Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 a 3.5-star review, describing it as "imperfect," but acknowledging the evident care and love that director James Gunn has for the characters and their story.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be available on Disney Plus starting August 2nd, 2023.
