In a recent Screen Rant interview, Saldana discussed her experience working on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, specifically why she thinks Marvel fans would believe it to be the finest yet.

“I think it’s going to be the best one yet. We’re having a blast, but then again, it’s just not easy to shoot a Guardians movie. There’s a lot of action. There’s a lot of dust. There’s a lot of makeup, endless hours of makeup, but the result is so worth it.”

She also spoke about how the experience has been “bittersweet” for the cast, knowing that the movies will come to an end after the third film, “I have to say we’re dealing with a lot of adversities, which is COVID and scheduling and things like that.” Saldana added, “But when we’re there, we’re having such a wonderful time, you know? It’s a bittersweet moment because it is our understanding that this will be the last Guardians of the Galaxy. So it’s bitter in that sense, but it’s sweet because we are all very grateful to have lived this journey together and James Gunn really is giving us a beautiful ending, and this story is really compelling.”

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is expected to premiere on Disney+ this year. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be in theaters on May 23, 2023.
