Why did Guardians of the Galaxy 3 take so long?
The long production time for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 can be attributed to a number of factors, including:
- The film's complex visual effects.
- The need to accommodate the schedules of the film's cast and crew.
- The departure of original director James Gunn from the project.
- The COVID-19 pandemic.
- The film's visual effects were particularly challenging, as they involved creating a number of new and complex alien worlds and creatures. This required a lot of time and effort from the VFX team, and it also pushed back the film's release date.
The film's cast and crew also had busy schedules, which made it difficult to find a time when everyone was available to work. This led to a number of delays in the film's production.
In addition, James Gunn was originally fired from the project in 2018 due to some controversial tweets he had made in the past. This led to a further delay in the film's production, as it took time to find a new director and get the project back on track.
Finally, the COVID-19 pandemic also caused some delays in the film's production. Filming was shut down for several months in 2020, and this also pushed back the film's release date.
Despite all of these challenges, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was ultimately released on time and to critical acclaim. The film's long production time was worth it, as it resulted in a visually stunning and entertaining film that is sure to be enjoyed by fans for years to come.
