James Gunn certainly has his work cut out for him these days. With his new The Suicide Squad gearing up for release this summer, he's in the early planning stages of his Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 but is also working tirelessly towards another GOTG release, a brand new feature ride. 

The director is now filming all new footage for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride which will premiere at Walt Disney World's Epcot in 2022. His next sequel is in the pre-planning stages and will release in 2023, but before that he's going to be filming brand new Guardians footage for the Disney park. While the full Avengers experience will be located at the California location, Cosmic Rewind will only be featured at the Florida location. 

Epcot is currently undergoing a large overhaul and face lift currently, and this will be a major part of the brand new set of exclusives at the park. They're also hoping this will drum up even more interest in the third GOTG movie. Epcot is in a phased plan which will be updating many of the rides and is focusing on a massive redesign of Future World, where Cosmic Rewind will be located.
