In January, Gunn appeared on Deadline’sHero Nationpodcastto discuss what’s in store for the long-awaited movie. “It’s so, so big and dark, and different from what people might be expecting it to be,” Gunn said on the podcast at the time. “I just want to be true to the characters, the story and give people the wrap-up that they deserve for the story.”

In anInstagrampost May 6, Gunn wrote, “And that’s a picture wrap on theGuardians of the Galaxytrilogy. I love this amazing cast & crew & their beautiful talent & kind souls. I’m a lucky human to have them on the journey with me for nearly a decade.”

Gunn sent fans into a whirlwind of speculation with the final sentence of the photo’s caption, which he wrote in parentheses: “(And yes Zoe was with us but the only picture I have with her has an unannounced actor with us!)”
