Gunn, who is known to be very active on social media, answered a few fan questions on Twitter over the weekend. When a fan asked him if he would invite any ofThe Suicide Squadactorsto join the cast ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Gunn cheekily responded, “That is a distinct possibility.” This doesn’t necessarily mean that the actors will be reprising theirThe Suicide Squadcharacters in the film, though.

Work is finally beginning on thehighly anticipatedGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, four years after the previous installment in the franchise was released. Fans have been patiently waiting for Gunn to finish work on his DC projects,The Suicide SquadandPeacemaker,so that he can turn his focus back to the Marvel project. Now, his latest tease has them wondering what role could the actors from the hit DC film could possibly play in the nextGuardiansfilm.

In an interview withEntertainment Tonightearlier this month, Gunn even hinted at the characters ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3going down the same path as those ofTask Force X inThe Suicide Squad. Those who have seen the movie will know that many of the anti-heroes do not make it out alive, including the shocking death of Rick Flag.

If the same path were to be followed, does this mean that one of the mainGuardianscharacters could also meet their death in the next installment? Only time will tell, and it is going to be a long wait.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3will premiere in theaters on August 05, 2025.
