James Gunn shares behind-the-scenes images from the first Guardians of the Galaxy to celebrate the film's 8-year anniversary. Released in 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy introduced audiences to what was, at the time, a somewhat niche team of Marvel superheroes. The film, which features Chris Pratt in the starring role of Star-Lord, was a hit both critically and commercially, earning over $772 million at the box office.
Guardians of the Galaxy ultimately proved so successful that the superhero team not only appeared in a sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but also in a number of other MCU projects. After appearing in both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the Guardians team was most recently featured in Thor: Love and Thunder alongside Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder. Gunn is set to return to the MCU once more with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
While Gunn had a relatively successful career before the release of Guardians of the Galaxy, making a name for himself in Hollywood by directing films like Slither and Super and writing others like Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead, the filmmaker's career reached new heights after the release of his first MCU entry.
It remains to be seen how he will conclude his trilogy with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but the first film in the franchise evidently holds a special place in Gunn's heart. For many fans, the first Guardians of the Galaxy film remains a highlight of the MCU as a whole, with the film's unique tone setting it apart from its contemporaries.
