Yesterday was James Gunn day. In addition to announcing that would be one of the new bosses of DC, released the trailer for the ‘Guardians of Gaiaxia’ Christmas special on his account after someone leaked it on Reddit. And the creator of ‘The Peacemaker’ demonstrates not only that still has its own stylebut he is one of the funniest directors of our time.

For months, James Gunn has been saying that this Disney+ special would feature your favorite character from the Marvel Universe. And that was none other than… Kevin Bacon. And the team has decided to give Star-Lord the Christmas he deserves, and for this it is an essential part of the plan to kidnap the actor. A marvel.
Also, the trailer introduces us to Cosmo, which after cameos in the previous films here becomes more important as a prelude to the more important role it will have in the third part. Cosmo is a dog who debuted in 2008 in the ‘Nova’ comics and is an official member of the team. Also, we know we’ll see Yondu again (in a flashback, probably) and Gamora, though We do not know if it is a flashback or if it is the Gamora of the past lost in the present.
After this Christmas special we won’t have to wait long to see the group of pulp adventurers again: the third volume will premiere on May 5, 2023and promises to be a trilogy finale in style, with a James Gunn who knows he may never return to Marvel and going to throw the rest with these characters. We are biting our nails until it arrives.
