Easily one of the most anticipated movies of Summer 2023, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 represents the biggest conclusion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Avengers: Endgame. The original Guardians of the Galaxy is fondly remembered by fans as one of the MCU's funniest films, but it was also a movie that, in hindsight, was vital to the franchise's long-term success. In one fell swoop, Marvel Studios and filmmaker James Gunn took a crew of relatively unknown characters and turned them into household names, ultimately becoming one of the MCU's biggest success stories. That momentum continued with a stellar sequel in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and the band of intergalactic goofballs found themselves having a massive role in the Infinity Saga conclusion with both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
We here at Collider have you covered. Without further ado, here is exactly how to watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Watch the Trailers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
The first trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 shows what the team has been up to since Avengers: Endgame. We got a brief tease of that in their cameo appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder and Disney+'s The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, but now we see that many members of the titular group aren't able to escape their pasts. This includes Peter (Chris Pratt) still not quite being over the death of his timeline's version of Gamora (Zoe Saldana) as well as Rocket (Bradley Cooper) once again facing the man responsible for his genetic modification. Complete with tons of comedy, gorgeous visuals, and intimidating new threats in the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji) and Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), the first look at the film already teases a wild space adventure.
We got our second look at Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 when the second trailer was released during Super Bowl LVII. The trailer has a lot of laughs, yet can't help but feel like a precursor to an emotional farewell. Peter continues to try and connect with Endgame's variant of Gamora, who has no memories of him or their relationship. Plus, Rocket requires his surrogate family's help with confronting the High Evolutionary, whose plans to create the perfect organism at any cost create a major threat to the beloved Guardians of the Galaxy.
