AceShowbiz - James Gunn has teased a mystery star will appear in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3". Confirming on Friday, May 6 night that filming for the final installment of the series has wrapped, the acclaimed director explained Zoe Saldana was missing from his behind-the-scenes photo because the only one he has with her in also included her mystery co-star.
Sharing a photo of himself laughing with Chris Pratt, Pom Klementieff, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista and his brother Sean Gunn, the 55-year-old filmmaker wrote, "And that's a picture wrap on the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy."
"I love this amazing cast & crew & their beautiful talent & kind souls. I'm a lucky human to have them on the journey with me for nearly a decade," he continued sharing. "And yes Zoe was with us but the only picture I have with her has an unannounced actor with us!"
James previously admitted there had been a "lot of sadness" on the set of the film, which is due for release in May 2023, because everyone was aware it was their last outing. A Twitter user asked, "Mr Gunn, how are the vibes on set?"
In reply, James tweeted, "Honestly they're great, I love this cast and crew, but there is also a lot of sadness and near-daily tears knowing this is the last Guardians movie for most of us. #gotgvol3."
The filmmaker previously admitted it was "a little bit scary" to be ending the saga. He said, "I just want to be true to the characters, the story and give people the wrap-up that they deserve for the story... That's always a little bit scary; I'm doing my best."
"The Suicide Squad" director also promised the flick will be "big" and "different" from what people might think it will be. He said, "It's big; it's so, so big and dark, and different from what people might be expecting it to be."
