Stallone’s Return: “Kicking It Again with the Space Crew”
“Here I am on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy.” — Sylvester Stallone
In a quick Instagram snap, the “Rocky” legend revealed that the big‑budget electron‑vegan of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 isn’t just a cameo. After his sharp‑edged moment as Stakar Ogord in Vol 2, Stallone’s set‑crew says he’s wrapped his fire‑starter cashew shoulder into the next one.
Why Stallone is Back on the “Galaxy” Stage
- The director, James Gunn, is pulling out all the stops, using 360‑degree cameras to capture Stallone’s cussed expressions. That means a future squash‑the‑mirror face‑swap, should the crew decide to remix his iconic jaw?
- His presence guarantees that the Guardians’ quirky joke catalog will have an extra “pep” to keep the audience laughing while also stable‑as‑a‑rocky‑pillars.
The Crew That Makes Vol 3 Feel Like a Family Reunion
- Chris Pratt (Onward) – he’s head‑shrugs and gurgles that new‑movie feel.
- Zoe Saldaña (Avengers: Endgame) – the “daughter of the apocalypse” from the other side of the galaxy.
- Dave Bautista (Army of the Dead) – the muscle of the galaxy, set to flex in the most serious flick so far.
- Karen Gillan (Spies in Disguise) – her wry commentary turns the cosmos into a comedy set.
- Pom Klementieff (Avengers: Infinity War) – will recreate the silver screen’s most dramatic moments.
- Sean Gunn (The Suicide Squad) – he remains the hand‑off tonight’s jolt of humor.
And there’s a new biddy: Will Poulter will step into the role of Adam Warlock, a cosmic mantle that will spark plenty of hot‑potato debates in the series.
Production Curiosities
In case you thought cosmic films were all green‑lit, the planet’s wild: James Gunn was fired in July 2018 after old tweets resurfaced, only to be brought back faster than a comet in March 2019.
But now, with Stallone and the crew, the 3rd installment is set for a May 5, 2023 theatrical debut. There will also be a special “Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special,” coming in December 2022 for Disney+—a holiday card that promises space‑filled cheer.
