Some new footage

The ratings board has assigned a PG-13 rating because of course they did. I don't think Disney would be willing to release anything else. However, the rating reason is a little surprising (emphasis mine.)

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, strong language, suggestive/drug references and thematic elements."

Getting closer to tickets being released! Probably in about 2-3 weeks.

Pretty much anything goes in PG-13 these days except sex/nudity, which makes the ratings board clutch their pearls.

I know. I'm just surprised to see "drug references" in a Disney-distributed tentpole film. That's all.

James Gunn has been talking about Volume 3 on Twitter. He says it will be around two and a half hours. I don't use Twitter anymore post-Elon Musk so won't them directly in this thread. But here is the Deadline story.

Given it’s the “final” film featuring this team, I’m fine with the runtime. Actually, I’m glad it’s not confined to around 2 hours.

I'm just glad that it isn't three hours and a half hours. Gunn is a good enough filmmaker that when he says that there isn't any fat on the movie, I'll believe him. Since he's specifying that, I tend to think that he's aware of the modern day plague of overly long movies and he made sure that his movie doesn't suffer from that.

For a film with such a compelling group of characters, I'd welcome the chance to spend a few more minutes with them.

I would hesitate to believe a director when they say that. Many of them are so in love with their own brand that they're not impartial enough to make that judgement.

You may be right but since it is the end of Gunn's fairly long participation with Marvel and the Guardians characters that he popularized, I can see him needing a bit more time to wrap up their story. The sad thing is that a two and a half hour run time is borderline reasonable to me now.

As of when I'm writing this, the website for the Chinese Theatre In Hollywood currently has future showtimes listed for Volume 3. You can't purchase tickets right now, but it says, "Tickets available from Monday, 03 April 2023 06:00 AM (local)"

If they can sell tickets next Monday, then presumably all theaters will be able to sell tickets next Monday. So it seems like they just told us the ticket on sale date.

No such luck here, yet. I'm not even trying for opening week for various reasons. The AMC website and app keep erroring out on me for May 14.

I'm not actually buying a ticket but the AMC app is working for me up until I'd pay.

Finally got it after the tenth time seeing the error message. At this wasn’t as bad the Endgame debacle.

Easy peasy for me.
