The double act between these two provides a lot of comic energy in the GotG movies, and a lot will depend on how funny you find their naive misunderstandings of Earth customs.

They reason that their '80s-obsessed pal would love to meet/own much-loved movie star Kevin Bacon, so they head to Hollywood for a spot of Christmas-y kidnapping. The story follows Mantis and Drax on a quest to find the perfect Christmas gift for fellow Guardian Peter Quill. Like Peacemaker, the GotG Holiday Special is powered by many of Gunn's signature traits: comic riffing stretched to absurd lengths, cool music and bursts of ludicrous violence framed by genuinely touching emotion. As in his surprisingly great DC series Peacemaker, when not having to hang a whole movie on action and spectacle, Gunn loosens up the MCU with this more character-driven shaggy dog story. This and Volume 3 serve as Gunn's Marvel swansong, as he's now been installed as supreme leader (or co-leader) of rival DC and its chaotic attempts to translate comics to the big screen.Įven in this self-contained standalone format, Gunn's style suits the small screen. So writer and director James Gunn wrapped in a fun, festive plot for the space adventurers, starring Pratt, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Sean Gunn and Michael Rooker. How did it come together? The gang was all there anyway, as Chris Pratt and chums had already gathered to film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. The 42-minute Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special began streaming on Black Friday.
