It has been a two weeks, exciting news have been released in the world of film, TV and pop culture, and it is time for another Geeky News roundup, everybody.
Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special Release
Marvel Studios have managed to warm our hearts and have added yet another festive classic to our annual rewatch list – The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special released on Disney+ worldwide on November 25th and it has already become a favourite here at the Portsmouth Comic Con headquarters. With a nice mix of comedy, adventure and sweet moments that highlight the importance of love and family, the Guardians really lifted our holiday spirits and made us even more excited for what’s to come for them in their journey across the galaxy.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 First Look
Retrieved from Disney and YouTube
The official first trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 was released! Even with the trailer, much of the film story remains a mystery still, but we have finally gotten a look at the long-awaited return of Gamora, as well as our first glimpse at Will Poulter as the powerful Adam Warlock. We have also seen Chukwudi Iwuji as the movie’s main antagonist – the High Evolutionary. As it is in the comics, he is an evolved human who has developed god-like powers after conducting numerous experiments on himself and now aims to take beings from the different galaxies that he deems “lower” and evolve them. The film’s director James Gunn has kept fairly silent on the film’s storyline, but has heavily hinted at it being very emotional and it may possibly be the last time we see this team together as we know them. What could be in store for them? We have to wait until May 5th 2023 to find out.
