This guy man. Best interviewer around. Never asks a dumb question, always does his homework. Obviously every actor enjoys talking to him. Keep up the good work.

[@Poepopdestoep]

Jup, he is one of the few (entertainment) interviewers in de world i even bother listening to. The rest is just soooooooo boring with the same questions everytime.

[@waranghira]

Amazing the amount of pre-work he's done. A lot would have just lazily wing it (to the ire of most interviewees having to answer the same questions and explaining already public knowledge).

[@user-mf5hj8nm3k]

He does sound and look nice, but he did lead them on a lot, I mean we don't know what the vibe was like at the iterviews, maybe the interviewees weren't too forthcoming, but did he need to answer his own questions so much?)

[@DCA_HEX]

What is his name. He is part of the group whenever and whoever he is interviewing. Asking questions that create natural conversation. Amazing interview always

[@lambyUK2007]

Saw Vol.3 last night (no spoilers of course), but i've never been so emotionally wrecked from any comic book film... and perhaps ANY film. James Gunn created a beautiful movie capping off dare i say, the greatest comic book trilogy of all time.

[@jimapplebee5322]

I've never had to fight back the tears so many times in a superhero movie. It was incredible & a roller coaster of emotions.

[@shumayelkhan8154]

Only time I cried was when……..(spoiler below) Chris pratt almost died. Reminded me of Yondu and just their relationship!

[@sahyoeon3961]

​@@shumayelkhan8154 SPOILER WARNING The part that got me is when Quill thought he had lost Rocket, Pratt did amazing on that scene

[@powerbadpowerbad]

DANG.It's that good ?? GUESS i'll go see it this coming-Monday.

[@caelum9471]

I'm someone who almost never cries and unironically enough, the only movies to ever make me cry were 2 MCU movies. Tony's death hit me, but I didn't start crying until Happy asked his daughter what she wanted to eat and she said she wanted cheeseburgers. And then the other one was this movie which I won't spoil. What makes that even better is that I never cared for the Guardians or the movies. I never felt the "relatable-ness" people seem to feel towards them, I never connected with their struggles. Maybe it was because, like Chris Pratt said, something "funny" would happen 10 seconds later and ruin it. I don't care for the humor but this one had a few moments even I smiled at. As for the emotional moments, I was holding back tears so much for I'd say 1/3 of the movie. This movie does have that same exact humor the other 2 movies had, but it doesn't happen right after any sad moments. It does a very good job of letting those emotional moments breathe. It lets us continue to think about what just happened instead of "haha look drax is being very literal and stupid".

[@georgek5737]

How can one trilogy of previously unknown characters rival Infinity war and Endgame?James Gunn is amazing!

[@iemjay]

I don't think they will continue their story. For one, the new guardians (to avoid spoilers) was disappointing, and two, it's not guardians with James Gunn. Besides, the amount of material in Marvel's pipeline is already stuffed, and we haven't even got X-Men yet. I mean, we already know (spoiler) will return at some point, but leave the team alone.

By far The Guardians Of The Galaxy films are the BEST Marvel movies. I just watched the latest one yesterday. We need more movies like this. You'll laugh, you'll shed a tear, you'll have kick-azz action, a little bit of romance, sorrow and loss, triumphs and paybacks. It's truly an entertaining movie.

Hard to picture another GOTG sequel without him; the 3rd one is the best IMO. DC fans should be grateful and excited to have him for the next decade of movies.

Yeah, if they end up making a new Guardians movie with the new group, they better find some amazing director and writers, because this isn't going to be easy to live up to.

Knowing that Rocket was secretly the main character all along makes so much sense to me. I could feel that love and attention to detail put into him from the very first movie onwards. He always stood out as special, and his writing was always on point. Man. I'm really gonna miss him if we never get to see him again after this. But what a send-off he got... :')

Karen's comment about Client Eastwood and Marilyn Monroe has just make her whole character click for me. Wow, she is brilliant!

[@krashd]

Exactly, the low wisp of Clint with the sultriness of Marilyn. Nebula was designed/programmed to be stealthy and alluring so the soft spoken Dirty Harry mixed with the manipulative Sugar Kane is a perfect mix for her.

I would love a Rocket & Groot prequel, their adventures before they met the Guardians 🤩

[@icecreamcake5381]

Karen Gillan already played a Variant of Nebula in Endgame but she was more a past version of Nebula so they were exactly the same personality-wise. I wish you asked how she would like a Variant of herself to be if she were to play one again. The same goes for the others. It's fun to think what they would want what-if version of their characters to be like with the multiverse at play.
