Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!

It’s been nearly a decade since James Gunn brought the Guardians of the Galaxy into the MCU, and arguably changed the direction of the entire cinematic universe. The success of that first movie opened the door for Marvel to explore lesser-known comic book characters and also seemingly gave them the green light to go all-in on comedy beats (for better or for worse.)

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 definitely raises some questions. Like what's Adam Warlock actually doing in this movie? How did they make High Evolutionary so despicable so quickly? Are kids gonna be okay after all that intense animal stuff? Why didn't Star-Lord have his helmet and boots?

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!!

Thanos literally got rid of half of everyone in the universe, but he would never punch a puppy…

[ellicel]

That is EXACTLY how Adam Warlock got into this movie and I will never believe it wasn't.

[haus]

Can't believe Ryan sacrificed one of his sheets of paper for this pitch meeting

[scraperindustry]

The way Rocket's first word was "hurt" just broke my heart

[Surgenium]

The "developing an instantly hated villain" bit was hilarious! 🤣

[billybobthornton]

Absolutely in love with the way Ryan praises the film for not giving in to the temptation to throw Starlord and Gamora back together....the first time pitch guy has a good idea with solid reasoning....Producer guy's not having any of it 😂😂😂

[HurricaneDDragon]

It was strangely refreshing to see Producer Guy show so much genuine emotion, even if it was anger. 🤣

The screenwriter’s face at 0:46 when his boss explained that Adam Warlock needed to be in the movie was the exact expression James Gunn made when he remembered that.

[NovaKorpov]

Producer Guy's cold fury over the dog is probably the most terrifying moment in Pitch Meetings history

[peterpilgrim]

The face Producer guy makes on the puppy bit 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣priceless, I've never seen Ryan make such a face since all of his characters are almost always so cheerful 💀

[OFFtheCHIZANE]

I love that “I just don’t... I don’t care” made a comeback, the Super Mario Bros pitch meeting was hilarious 😂

[forestgrump]

I thought it was really powerful how when Rocket flatlines Starlords pain looks so much like Rockets when Layla is shot. Like, right down to the line of saliva when he screams. It’s shot for shot almost identical

[austinm]

I love the fact that Screenwriter Guy had to give Producer Guy a demonstration of the "villain who kills puppies" technique, because you'd think after the success of John Wick that would no longer be necessary, but here we are.

[jamesfromthecomputer]

Adam Warlock being shoe horned into the movie is exactly what I was expecting Ryan to talk about and he always delivers

[JonathonFyck]

“Wait present day Rocket doesn’t have any cute little animal friends?”
“Yeah so you can see where these flashbacks are headed”
“Oh no!”

This is literally how we all felt watching those flashbacks😂

[phtevenj]

best line "everyone gets happy endings" "oh!?" 😂😂😂

[trinlombardi]

Thank you for pointing out that Star-Lord just not having his jet boots or helmet for the entire movie was so random lol. I was so angry when THAT was how he almost died

[Jordan-vccn]

My gosh, you NEVER miss any time Producer Guy breaks his usual demeanor. It's rare enough to catch us off guard and always genuinely hilarious and so well acted!

[Siansonea]

Lylla, Floor and Teefs broke my heart more than most MCU deaths, not gonna lie.

Just watched the film today.
Surprised Ryan didn't mention when Quill is about to go meet the High Evolutionary, something like:
"So the guards don't let Nebula in because of her arm being an obvious weapon, and they scan Peter so they can see if he has weapons on him."
"Smart."
"So they let Star Lord and Groot walk in."
"Why don't they scan Groot to see if he has any weapons?"
"Because"
"That'll do for me."
