Gunn has previously revealed his process of turning the script from page to screen, which includes storyboarding every scene.

Even though the plot details are being kept under wraps, fans have already got some insight into how powerful the script is going to be. It was revealed thatGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3stars Karen Gillanand Pom Klementieff, who portray the roles of Nebula and Mantis, were very emotional after reading the script for the first time.
