We are delighted to report that production on “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” has officially kicked off! Director James Gunn made the announcement earlier this morning with a post to Twitter. Fans have been waiting for a firm production start for the 3rd installment of “GoTG” for sometime. There was the entire affair of Disney/Marvel Studios firing (and eventually rehiring) Gunn.
