Director James Gunn has confirmed when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will begin filming. He said on Twitter that cameras should start rolling "this year."

He didn't get any more specific than that, but it's no big surprise to learn this. Gunn previously indicated in March that filming was due to begin at some point in 2021.

Gunn is having an exceptionally busy 2021. He's still working on The Suicide Squad, which recently got its first trailer, one that broke records. He's also developing a Peacemaker TV spinoff starring John Cena, a TV special in the form of the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, and a Disney Parks ride at EPCOT at Disney World.
