() — It’s time to face reality: Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise is coming to an end.
A new trailer for the third and final movie in the series debuted during the Super Bowl on Sunday and dropped some clues as to how Peter Quill/Star-Lord, played by Chris Pratt, is dealing with the loss and return of his beloved Gamora. (Zoe Saldana).
“I am Star-Lord,” Pratt’s voice is heard saying at the opening of the trailer. “I formed the Guardians. I met a girl, fell in love. That girl died. But she then she came back … “.

That girl is Gamora, who has no memory of her and Quill’s romantic history after she was killed off in “Avengers: Infinity War” and subsequently brought back as a different version of herself from another timeline in “Avengers: Endgame.”
“And she came back as a total jerk,” Pratt jokes in the new trailer.
The clip also featured scenes of the Guardians fighting Adam Warlock, one of the film’s villains, played by Will Poulter, while Rainbow’s “Since You Been Gone” played in the background. The trailer also shows more footage of the Guardians facing off against the High Evolutionary, played by Chukwudi Iwuji.
“Guardians 3” follows Star-Lord and the Guardians as events from Rocket’s (Bradley Cooper) past return to turn the group upside down, sending them on a dangerous mission to defend the universe.
The film stars Pratt, Saldana, Cooper, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff and Vin Diesel, who are ready to take one last lap around the galaxy.
“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” will be released in theaters on May 5, 2023.
