What happens in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’s ending?
If you’ve ever seen a Marvel film, you’ll know they typically end in a large-scale action set piece. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is no exception, as we have an ending battle that includes a hallway battle filmed in one long take. Rocket (Bradley Cooper) embraces his status as a raccoon and frees every hybrid creature that the High Inquisitor made from his captivity.
Drax (Dave Bautista), Nebula (Karen Gillan), and Mantis (Pom Klementieff) rescue many children, and Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) nearly dies after he finds himself trapped in space, but Adam Warlock saves his life, redeeming himself.
This movie follows the Guardians after a devastating attack from Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), where they must all save Rocket Raccoon from death and take on the High Inquisitor (Chikwudi Iwuji), a mad scientist creating hybrid creatures who was instrumental in the creation of Rocket. The film delves into Rocket’s backstory and his cruel upbringing with the High Inquisitor. After Rocket is able to survive his injuries, he and the team take on the Inquisitor and his forces.
