James Gunn reveals which MCU movies fans need to watch before 'Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special' releases
It's 'What a bright time, it's the right time' for Marvel's 'Guardian of the Galaxy: Holiday Special' as the holiday season is here. The new holiday special is here just a month before Christmas to make its audience seep into the feeling of festivities, and holidays. The movie is Marvel Studios' first Christmas special and will take a band of intergalactic outlaws to Earth as they try to give Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) a genuine holiday experience. It is intended to be the second Marvel Studios Special Presentation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films and television series of the franchise.
When an MCU movie is released, people often go back in time and research the timeline, the backstory, and well more. However, James Gunn has a different opinion on what to watch before the TV special releases; Gunn recently told bluntly that "the audience does not need to see any movies, including the Guardians films." Quite surprising, isn't it? especially when he is the director of the film. While the Holiday Special is a standalone story, it will also bridge the gap between 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' and the upcoming 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.'
