James Gunn brings his cosmic MCU trilogy to a spectacular close with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and it’s one of the most satisfying conclusions we’ve seen to date in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sweeping colors, breakneck action, an excess of emotion, and plenty of laughter, make this heartfelt quest a film that you’re not soon to forget. But beyond the film’s obvious merits, we’re here to review its timeline, both within the Guardians Saga and its overall placement in the wider MCU. Because this video is dropping before the film actually arrives in theaters, we’ll be keeping spoilers to a minimum, and due to the fact that we don’t have a digital copy of the film to work with yet, don’t expect this to be as in-depth as usual. That said, the film does provide us with just enough information to help us place Guardians 3 on our MCU Timeline.

    CORRECTION(s): In the post-credits scene, Quill could possibly be talking about the neighbor’s son being 45 years old, instead of himself. The sentence works both ways, depending on where you place the punctuation. The foliage best fits Spring or Fall, not Summer. In future videos I will place Guardians 3 in Spring (thanks to the Kevin Bacon Easter egg).

    Yea!!!!!!! This was the best one yet so far Dakota, thanks man, I know you recognize the name, it’s one of your fav fans here 💯🤞🏼😅
  • @b2ickwall978
    Looking forward to seeing this one! First MCU in a while I have felt that. Thanks for helping place the chronology!
  • @MemesSon02
    The phase 5 films so far have released in Timeline order, hopefully they keep doing so with the MCU movies going forward
  • @itsjaymedia6130
    Great vid as always! Just saw the movie and loved it. I think the age thing is 100% accurate because he definitely subtracts those 5 years from the blip so 2026 works out perfectly!
  • @carterwakefield9143
    Great video!! Can't wait to see it in theaters soon🤞🤞 Keep making great videos😊😊
  • @darpavader4811
    My thought was that Meredith met Ego in 1980, so Peter most likely was born in 81.

    Amazing video as always amigo! Just saw GOTG Vol 3 and I can't wait to watch it again. The fact that the MCU is in 2026 is kinda crazy, though I do personally miss it when the franchise used to take place around the same year as the real world if that makes sense 🤣
  • @Andres_was_here
    Another great video! It's crazy to think how we're finally in 2026 in the MCU
  • @darkoverlord9348
    When are you gonna do an update to your timeline I would really like to see a new one
  • @theorycraftingmachine2876
    Can your next timeline video in this month be the DC Universe? If so start with Wonder Woman & then when The Flash comes out this month on June 16th you can add that!!!
  • @ComeChillWithCody
    Been pondering this since I’m also using this as an updated timeline beyond just the guardians video lol since I unfortunately can’t afford patreon rn but that being said I know it gets wonky but with Jen going out and talking to the Kev bot about wanting the x men and then having Professor X in Doctor strange does that potentially move them around? I know she’s like stepping out of the world and also we don’t really have the x men yet but I’ve been thinking about this lol
  • @exbyte7248
    hey so after the spiderverse 2 come out are you gonna add them in your mcu timeline after it and are you making a new fulltimeline again for the 8.0?
  • @tomn6800
    Ignore my last comment, I typed it while watching and it won’t let me delete lol. Great video!
  • @sklorkgd
    Are you going to do another full timeline next time for 8.0 because that’s normally how you do it
