Never has there been a director to direct an entire trilogy of Marvel films in the age of the MCU, though a few have come close with Jon Favreau on the first two Iron Man films, Joss Whedon on two Avengers films, and The Russo Brothers with the latter two Captain America films. (Thor has had three different directors.) But James Gunn is set to become the first to have directed three for Marvel. That’s right, Gunn has confirmed that he will be directing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. More on the story below.

We’re still a month and a half or so away from the arrival of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in theaters, but early indications are that things are going about as good as they can be for the sequel.

So good, in fact, that a third movie looks to already be a sure thing. James Gunn, who directed the first and second Guardians, said recently that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is “for sure” happening.

See what he had to say about the next movie and the Guardians’ involvement in Avengers: Infinity War below.
