Plot summary
The Guardians of the Galaxy have settled at their new headquarters on Knowhere when Adam Warlock, a warrior made by High Priestess Ayesha, attacks them. He critically wounds Rocket, and the med-packs cannot heal him because Orgocorp put a kill switch inside his body. To find the override code, Peter Quill and the others head for Orgocorp's headquarters, joined by an alternate version of Gamora who now runs with the Ravagers. As Rocket's condition worsens, he remembers his early life as a baby raccoon taken and experimented on by the High Evolutionary, the leader of Orgocorp, who wanted to turn animal lifeforms into Humanimals for a society he called Counter-Earth. Ayesha and Adam follow the Guardians, under threat from the High Evolutionary.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.

- The day after James Gunn joined The Suicide Squad in mid-October 2018, Disney's Alan F. Horn privately told him he could return to direct Vol. 3, having changed his mind after being impressed by Gunn's response to the firing.
- James Gunn wrote the deformed experiment Lambshank for Stan Lee, planning to have Lee record the voice rather than travel to Atlanta, and designed the character's face to resemble him; after Lee died, Gunn took the role himself.
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was the first MCU film to use the word "fuck" uncensored, spoken by Chris Pratt's Peter Quill; the line "Open the fucking door" was improvised by Pratt on James Gunn's suggestion.
- James Gunn changed Cosmo the Spacedog from male in the comics to female for the film, as a tribute to the character's original inspiration, Laika, the Soviet space dog who became one of the first animals in space.
- Dave Bautista said Vol. 3 would be his last time playing Drax, calling it a relief after the long hours in makeup; because of that decision, James Gunn left Drax out of the film's post-credits scene.
- Vol. 3 opens with an acoustic version of Radiohead's "Creep" and ends with Florence and the Machine's "Dog Days Are Over"; James Gunn had wanted that song to wrap up the trilogy since he began writing Vol. 2.
