Are you ready for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special?
Keep in mind what director James Gunn said in March: “The Holiday Special is the greatest thing I’ve ever done in my life. It’s totally ridiculous, and every day we can’t believe that we’re making it. We all completely love it. It is unlike anything that anyone’s ever seen before. I can’t wait for people to see it.”
Well, that’s saying something … I think. Anyway, now we have a trailer released today by Disney, and yes, I’m all in.
The special premieres on Friday, November 25, on Disney+.
Disney notes that the Holiday Special stars “Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, and Pom Klementieff, featuring Vin Diesel as Groot and Bradley Cooper as Rocket. The special also stars Sean Gunn and The Old 97’s, with Michael Rooker and Kevin Bacon.” Yes, the legendary Kevin Bacon!
If Gunn scores with this special and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is scheduled for release on May 5, 2023, it’s pretty clear that within the MCU movie realm, Gunn and the Guardians will have earned the top position in terms of consistent quality. But we have to wait and see. Oh yeah, and there’s the fact that the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride at EPCOT ranks as the best roller coaster ride I’ve ever ridden.
Merry Christmas, Star-Lord! (Too early?)
