However, fans are not sure about the fate of the Guardians in the upcoming movie.The threequel is expected to explore Rocket’s origin story, and some flashback shots even portray it as if he is being taken for the experiment.

Some of the scenes have caused fans to panic that one of their favorite Marvel characters is about to die. Many fans assumed that Peter Quill’s pain and anguish in one of the scenes in the trailer could be over Rocket’s death. Another scene that shows Rocket lying down also has caused panic among fans.

But surely if he does die then this is a big spoiler. So, I know I’m totally reaching, but hopefully this is just to make us believe he dies when he actually survives. Please tell me I’m right@JamesGunnplease, I’m begging you 😭😭😭

Some fans even claimed that Marvel will not give such a huge spoiler in the trailer and the scene could be one of Rocket’s flashbacks. While many fans are sure that Rocket would die inGuardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, others believe that this is just how the trailer is intentionally presented.
Many fans also believe that the character who would die in the threequel would be Peter Quill, instead of Rocket. And if not Star-Lord, they are sure that someone would eventually die in the threequel, but it would not be Rocket.
The trailer has surely left everyone biting their nails and fans are eagerly waiting to know what would happen inGuardians of the Galaxy Volume 3.
