He continued: “I just want to be true to the characters, the story and give people the wrap-up that they deserve for the story.”
According to thefilm’s official synopsis, the third installment finds Peter Quill “still reeling from the loss of Gamora.” However, he “must rally his team around him to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own. A mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.”
