We're still a year away from the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 but it already promises to be one of the most emotional Marvel Cinematic Universe ever. In case you didn't know, James Gunn himself has stated on more than one occasion that Volume 3 will be his last film in the MCU as he turns his attention to helming more projects over at the DC Extended Universe.
This is probably the reason why James is summoning all the reinforcements he can get. Aside from Adam Warlock (played by Will Poulter) who is finally making his long-awaited debut, Gunn is also bringing two of his DCEU pals over to the MCU and the director has nothing but high praises for the Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad actors, especially Chukwudi Iwuji whose performance in GOTG 3 is described as "truly explosive".
Taking to his official Twitter account, Gunn responded to Discussing Film's Ernesto Valenzuela who recently interviewed the Clemson Murn actor. Gunn excitingly shared: "Wait till you see Chuk murder it in #GotGVol3 with a truly explosive performance". Check out the tweet here:

As it stands, we still have no idea what character Iwuji plays in Gunn's "final" Guardians film but if it ends up being something similar to Murn who was eventually revealed as a butterfly in Peacemaker, I wouldn't be shocked at all.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is slated to his cinemas on May 5, 2023.
