LOS ANGELES, Jan 16 — James Gunn has confirmed that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 will hit cinemas in 2020.

The popular film’s second instalment hit cinemas in April last year.

Industry watchers speculate that the film will be released in either May, August or November because Marvel Studios has three 2020 release dates ready for as-yet untitled films.

The slots are: May 1, 2020, August 7, 2020 and November 6, 2020.
