Why the Guardians' Disney+ Collection Is So Exciting
James Gunn was clear from the beginning that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was the end of the line for this team of intergalactic misfits. That became ever more apparent through the emotional conclusion of the blockbuster which sent the roster off in their own directions and left behind a new team of Guardians.
On top of the streamer serving as the home to the MCU's original streaming content, it also allows fans to binge their way through most past releases. Soon, fans will have the perfect vessel to relive the Guardians' emotional and action-packed journey which spanned nine years and seven main appearances.
One original Guardian is still set to see more adventures on Disney+ in the not-too-distant future, as the shorts series I Am Groot will be back for Season 2. An official release date has yet to be announced, but some reports claim it could arrive later this year, likely with more Baby Groot action and fun.
Additionally, the collection included the Zoe Saldana-produced documentary series MPower, which spotlighted the MCU's female heroes. The series was narrowly saved from Disney+ removal just recently, with it almost included in a mass axing of content but ultimately saved from the historic content purge.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 hits Disney+ on Wednesday, August 2.
