No group was hit harder in Avengers: Infinity War than the Guardians of the Galaxy, and it seems Vol. 3 will deal directly with those effects. Comicbook reports that recently Star-Lord actor Chris Pratt cast a bit of doubt that the anticipated sequel would be set after Infinity War, suggesting it could end up being a prequel. Director James Gunn recently cleared that up though on social media when a fan asked when the film was set. Gunn says, "It will be after."
