Few details about the plot have been revealed. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 But as new footage from the shoot surfaced, knowledgeable fans of Marvel comics have been able to start drawing their own conclusions about what the MCU movie will be about.
Last week, images of the filming of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in which we could see humanoid animal-like creatures in an Earth or Earth-like environment. These images hinted at the possibility that the MCU will visit Counter-Earth, and that the latest movie will feature the high evolver.
In the Marvel comics, the high evolver is a human scientist who creates Counter-Earth, an alternate version and “pure” of the Earth in which there are no superhumans. Thanos destroys the original Counter-Earth and then a new version resurfaces. The new version of Counter-Earth is full of new men, new humanoid creatures also created by the High Evolutionary. These new men have human-like minds and capabilities. And from footage from the shoot, fans have been theorizing about how Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 it will involve Counter-Earth, a place not yet explored in UCM.
Now, @atlanta_filming has shared new footage from the shoot confirming the fan theory about Counter-Earth and the High Evolutionary. The photographs show humanoid animal-like creatures walking around in 1980s clothing, fueling the theory that the film will feature the new men. While those photos are certainly intriguing, the main photo that fans liked the most is that of a police car with alien lettering. Based on a translation of the alien language characters, the front of the car reads “Policeman”, while the side says “Contra” and “Tierra”. In other words, it’s almost certainly a police car from Backland. You can see the images below:
These set images provide overwhelming evidence that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in some way it will have the Counter Earth. It remains to be seen if the movie will take place entirely in Counter-Earth or if it will be just one of the places they visit in the movie. But since filming just wrapped, fans likely won’t see any more photos from the shoot, so they’ll have to wait until an official trailer is released for more details.
What we do know is that Rocket Racoon from Guardians of the Galaxy is linked to the High Evolutionary; in the comics, Rocket was actually created by him. Fans have already been wondering if Rocket’s origin story will be explored in the triquel. And with Counter-Earth and the high evolutionary involved in the stories, this possible possibility gains more strength.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will not hit theaters until May 2023, so we will still have to wait a long time to find out.
