Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 confirmed for 2020 – villain confirmed as box of snakes
Chris Pratt asks: will it feature a guy with a cardboard box of snakes? James Gunn answers: yes.

Just in case you were worried that Marvel didn’t have enough upcoming films, we now know Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 will be released in two years time.
And we heard it directly from director James Gunn, who announced on Twitter that Star-Lord, Gamora, Groot and co would return for a solo adventure in 2020.
- Karen Gillan, Zoe Saldana and Chris Pratt boogie to David Hasselhoff’s Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 end credits music video
- The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 gag reel is just as hilarious as you’d expect

Gunn also answered a few fan questions while making the announcement. For instance, when a user questioned if favourite Yondu (“I’m Mary Poppins, y’all”) could return, he gave a solid no.
Can Yondu be brought back from the dead for the next Guardians?

SPOILER. He will never be brought back to life as long as I’m around. His passing needs to mean something. https://t.co/D5H58Twjwi

Gunn also revealed that the soundtrack for the film – always an important aspect for Guardians – had already been selected.
The music is pretty much all done and picked out. https://t.co/VXuF2FCxDl

@jamesgunn I noticed you haven’t answered me. Let me be more specific. Can the villain in volume 3 be a guy who has a cardboard box full of snakes, yes or no? If no. Then how bout just a handful of snakes and he says, what up wit snakes? And then throws the snakes at us?

…To which Gunn gave a very important answer…
SPOILERS, DUDE. You can’t just go tweeting off pages from the treatment. https://t.co/jUZw5oelTg

So there you have it: Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will definitely 100% completely-not-joking-at-all feature a box of snakes. And Twitter couldn’t be happier about it.
I volunteer to play this snake wielding villain. I live in Georgia so I'd be close to filming. I have ZERO acting experience. But I can hold a cardboard box like nobody's business. So what could go wrong right? Think about it. Drop me that DM
