There is little doubt that the Coronavirus outbreak has delayed several Marvel Cinematic Universe projects this year. However, there's at least one project that isn't particularly affected by the pandemic. James Gunn has just confirmed that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is still right on schedule despite COVID-19.
A fan recently asked Gunn on Twitter if the third Guardians of the Galaxy film will be delayed due to the outbreak. Interestingly, the filmmaker revealed that they haven't had to change any plans for the MCU flick. Take a look at his response below.
"Right now the plans with Vol 3 are also exactly the same as they were before coronavirus," Gunn wrote.
This isn't exactly a huge surprise considering that the film has not yet been given a production start date nor a release date. So far, Gunn has previously confirmed that he already worked on the movie's screenplay so there's a huge chance there won't be any major changes in the storyline. Still, it's comforting to know that there is at least one MCU project that hasn't been affected by COVID-19.
Gunn has just finished principal photography on The Suicide Squad and is currently working on the post-production for the film. Unfortunately, the director revealed that it is a slow process due to the mandatory self-quarantine.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has not yet been given an official release date. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
