Fans are going crazy because this film has some scenes which makes a special connection with all of us. Now that the film has been released, we know exactly the fate that awaits each of the characters in the film.

So let’s understand the FULL ENDING of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 !!

 Before getting into Ending, let’s take a quick recap of the movie.

The film’s plot is set into motion when Rocket is almost killed by Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), who leaves him in a critical state before he’s chased out of Knowhere by Nebula.

Although they are determined to save their friend, Star-Lord and the team soon realise this is going to be rather a difficult task: a kill-switch has been activated which means he has just 48 hours to live.

Then we see the backstory behind the plan of High Evolutionary, who wants to kill Rocket. It is revealed that he was a part of a test batch of anthropomorphic animals bred by the High Evolutionary as an experiment to create a more advanced form of species to populate his new world.

Rocket and his friends Lyla, Teefs, and Floor were merely test subjects along the way, and after the High Evolutionary had finished with them he planned to incinerate them, which caused Rocket to rebel. However, all his three friends were killed !!

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 FULL Ending :

Back in the present, the Guardians team arrives at Counter-Earth to track down a file that will help them save the still-unconscious Rocket. They find the planet is populated by a number of humanoid animals and soon discover it is very much not a utopia – there is much suffering going on and it is clearly an unequal society.

Groot and Star-Lord meet face-to-face with the High Evolutionary on his ship, who tells them that he is not trying to conquer the universe but perfect it, although he admits that his experiment has failed and he will have to blow up the planet and start again.

Suddenly a fight begins between the War-Pig, Gamora, and Adam Warlock, who believes that it is his duty and no one else’s to get his hands on Rocket. Luckily, Rocket is saved and Star-Lord and Groot are able to use the successfully retrieved file to bring him back to consciousness.

Meanwhile, Nebula, Drax, and Mantis had headed onto the High Evolutionary’s ship where they stumbled upon a huge number of incarcerated children and young animals, clearly intended to be slaves and the next batch of test subjects for Counter-Earth 2.0. BUT the trio are soon captured and held hostage.

Star-Lord, Groot, and Gamora go back to the ship to rescue them but the rescue mission is almost botched by Warlock, who is ultimately saved by Groot after Star-Lord tries to kill him.

During all this, the High Evolutionary and Rocket finally meets face-to-face. Rocket knocks down the High Evolutionary and just at the moment, other Guardians arrives on the scene. They  leave High Evolutionary on the floor & goes back to knowhere.

But the peril hasn’t quite ended yet. During the escape, Star-Lord drops his Zune and decides to go back to fetch it, meaning he is unable to make the jump back to Knowhere and is left seemingly stranded to die in space.

Luckily, Adam justifies Groot’s earlier decision & leaps into space, rescuing the Guardian’s leader. The film ends with the Guardians back in Knowhere. Although they have all survived. Now they knows that they should go back to where they really belongs.

Star-Lord wants to travel back to Earth to see his grandfather, Nebula will become the leader of Knowhere, and Drax will take on a new role looking after the rescued slaves and test subjects.

Meanwhile, Rocket is elected as the new leader of the Guardians, which will now consist of himself, Kraglin, Cosmo, Adam Warlock, and Groot. The film ends with some special words of Groot who says: “I love you guys.”
