Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn sure loves talking about the upcoming sequel for his 2014 hit, which has a release date set for May 5, 2017. In a recent interview, the filmmaker revealed that the movie's story had been completed but not the script itself, and even talked about some plot details. Plus, he mentioned possible spinoff ideas could be in the works as well!

"I think the main thing with moving on is we can't just repeat ourselves," the director told Slash Film. "We can't just say 'Okay, well let's start with something sad and shift into something really happy with some music and let's have the Awesome Mix work in exactly the same way only with songs from the 80s instead of the 70s.' All of those things, that doesn't interest me. For me the shift is really about getting to know the characters on a deeper level, knowing them more intimately and uncovering facets of those characters that make them more real to us. At the center of what works about Guardians is that people like the characters.

Gunn also said that he has ideas "beyond" Guardians of the Galaxy 2, meaning spinoffs and Guardians 3.
