Guardians of the Galaxy Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: General Discussion & Speculation Thread

Sites like Illuminerdi have really irked me for a long time. Out of nowhere started pumping out 'exclusives' about everything, with the article just saying "we have exclusively learned that..." and then the rest of the article filled with filler talk about the thing their made-up scoop is about. And they basically never have turned out true or have been supported by reputable sources. The first one that got a lot of attention I think was that they learned Hulkling had been cast for Wandavision and we know how that turned out.

What's even more annoying is that I always look for MCU information on other websites and those started to report all the bogus made-up clickbait by Illuminerdi and similar sites. Had to completely stop going to MCU Exchange when they started reporting Illuminerdi headlines as if they were fact. And Murphy's Multiverse started running them too...

Hope that the Wandavision report being fake + Gunn calling them out directly will finally harm their reputation to the point that they won't be taken seriously anymore.
 
The amount of "scoops" and "exclusives" and "reliable sources" stuff is getting annoying. It's all click-bait bulls***.

I wish creatives would point them out like James Gunn "hey, you're wrong, wtf are you talking about?" more often.
 
This fake rumor reminds me of something. Oh yeah, it's copy and pasted from this:

EXCLUSIVE: Marvel Searching For Jewish Zac Efron-Type To Play Moon Knight In Upcoming Disney+ Series - GWW
GWW is a bad site too. I'm not siding with the "exclusive" but a broken clock is right twice a day.

my guess: they knew Vol 3 was going to start filming later this year, know Warlock is set to play a big part and there's been Efron rumors for a while.

we probably won't hear who was cast until at least this summer.

More evidence of Illuminerdi's bad track record:

I f'n hate articles like that. Just like two lines of actual information and the rest is just 1000 words of superficial nonsense fluff to improve the SEO ranking.

So many websites are pulling that garbage now too.
 
those casting rumors like
Alison Brie like
Joel Kinnaman like
Zac Efron like
are allways **** - if they want them, they ask directly for them

They aren't doing Asylum's version of THE AVENGING PEOPLE. I feel like if Marvel wanted those people they'd ask them and they'd probably say yes.
 
Yeah, imagine they go to Tatiana Maslany: He we couldn’t get Alison Brie - could you be like her, when you‘re She-Hulk

We got this covered is the worst when it comes to this. It's always the same exact thing "Our sources, who also got this and this right, indicated that x is playing x"

Eh. Those are just descriptions casting directors always use. I wouldn't make anything of it.

I'd honestly appreciate it slightly more if they at least included the "who also got this and this right" part (given that there is some tangible evidence they got that right in the past) so that a track record can be built, many of those sites I see don't even include that and just say "sources say x" or "we have exclusively learned that x".

Is Oscar Isaac a Zac Efron type? That was the rumor for Moon Knight. And when I think ZAC EFRON TYPE, I don't think Oscar Isaac.
 
its not even fact, if those casting announcements were real
 
Great to hear this. I like Yondu but we have to move on from a death of a side character. The team have enough to handle with Gamora already.
Yeah, I wonder what will be included though.They have to deal with the Gamora situation somehow. There has been setup for Adam Warlock. Gunn had at one point teased Quasar. Will the Ravagers/Guardians 3000 that were introduced last movie return? Will they dive into the backstory for Rocket? There's a lot of stuff left on the table.
 
I have a feeling, that some of these plot points could be part of the Holiday special.
Also I bet, they introduce Nova in this franchise
