Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has started shooting, according to MCU star Chris Pratt. This comes a day after Disney delayed a handful of its MCU projects.
In a video on Twitter, Pratt said, "I'm on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, this is day one."
Just yesterday, Disney delayed a handful of MCU movies, and removed two projects from the release schedule. Guardians 3 Director James Gunn took to Twitter to say the movie is still on track.
"Nope. #GotGVol3 is neither pulled nor delayed, still scheduled for May 5, 2023. We are scripted & storyboarded, crewed & casted, & READY TO GO in just a little bit here," Gunn wrote. "We’re going to build you guys something beautiful."

Delayed MCU movies include Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, The Marvels, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. According to Gunn, however, Guardians 3 will still come out on May 5, 2023.
Recently, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 cast Will Poulter as Adam Warlock. We also know Chris Hemsworth's Thor will appear in the movie, and that this movie will probably be the last Guardians film with the current team. We don't know much about the plot of Guardians 3, besides that Rocket's backstory will be a big part of the story, and that a What If…? storyline was rejected because it was too similar to the real plot of Guardians 3.
