Over on his official account, Gunn celebrated the long-awaited release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 — which serves as Marvel’s latest superhero venture that is showing in theaters all across the country today. And, as Gunn perfectly explains it, his desire to create a trilogy as magical and popular as Star Wars continues to pump his motivation to make the best Guardians movies.
