Last week,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2directorJames Gunnshared part of a recording session for the superhero sequel’s score. Over the weekend, the production wrapped up its work on the soundtrack, with the director going live for their final day at Abbey Road Studios, showing fans how the chorus for the score came to life. Here’s what the filmmaker had to say in a brief caption for this video.
“Our last day at @abbeyroadstudios & we recorded the chorus, which we use extensively, and fills out our score in a big way. #gotgvol2 #score”
TheInstagramvideo shows a diverse array of vocalists belting out the chorus, although the director wouldn’t elaborate how this piece of music is used in the movie, or what makes it so important. It’s possible that we may get to hear this chorus or more of the actual score when the second trailer is released, but Marvel and Disney have yet to confirm when the next footage will be revealed. There has been some interesting details floating around in regards to possible spin-offs of this belovedsuperhero adventure.
Last week,Vin Dieselteased that he has had discussions with directorJames Gunnfor aGroot spin-offmovie, which he claims is “inevitable.” These comments came just a month after another interview he gave, where he claimed that, “if it’s up toJames Gunn, you are going to see a Groot/Rocket movie after [Avengers] Infinity War.” He added that it’s “highly possible” this will happen, while adding that, somewhere in the Marvel universe, fans will also see Groot fighting Hulk. It’s possible this may happen inAvengers: Infinity War, but no story details about that film have been confirmed yet, with production starting last week.
DirectorJames Gunnrecently teased in an interview that neither the originalGuardians of the Galaxymovie nor this sequel have been beholden to any part of the MCU continuity, since these adventures take place in the cosmos, far beyond the reach of the Earth-bound Avengers. It has been confirmed, however, that the Guardians will be featured inAvengers: Infinity War, with cast members such asDave BautistaandSean Gunnrevealing through social media that they started filming on the superhero ensemble last week. Very little is known about the plot of that movie as well, but hopefully an official plot synopsis will be released for both movies. When the firstGuardians 2trailer debuted in December, it set a new Marvel record for teaser trailer views, amassing 81 million views in the first 24 hours. Marvel has yet to announce when the next trailer will arrive, but it could possibly come during the Super Bowl next month, although nothing has been announced.
