Sylvester Stallone Confirms Something We Suspected All Along About Guardians Of The Galaxy 3

On November 12, 2021, instead of relaxing after the release of "Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago – The Ultimate Directors Cut"  the day before, Sylvester Stallone got to work on his next project. He posted a couple of videos of himself to Instagram where he's sitting inside of a room with walls covered with lights and high-tech cameras. He explains that this setup photographs every angle of his face so that should he be absent from the set on a given day, the crew can use that reference material to duplicate his natural expressions digitally. 

As he so casually mentions, he's undergoing this process for the next "Guardians of the Galaxy" movie.

With that, it sounds like Starhawk is coming back to the MCU on May 23, 2023 — unless he shows up for the "Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special" first. As is the case with pretty much everything about the film currently, how he'll factor into the story and how much time he'll spend on screen remain a mystery. Nevertheless, confirmation that Sylvester Stallone is returning for "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" will surely have fans excited.
