The final chapter of James Gunn’s acclaimed Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy will hit theaters on May 5th. While there is still a week left before Volume 3 hits theatres worldwide, early, exclusive screenings have begun for select audiences, including the press. It was during one such screening the eldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger got to watch the much-anticipated Marvel movie. However, the 29-year-old wasn’t ready for the round of emotions that ensued after watching the screening.

Chris Pratt’s co-star in The Terminal List took to Twitter to post about his experience. Patrick Schwarzenegger proudly congratulated his brother-in-law and wrote a glowing review for the upcoming James Gunn film.

Patrick Schwarzenegger felt emotions he never thought he would feel

Superhero films have been the cash cow of Hollywood for over a decade. After the record-shattering box office showing of Avengers (2012), live-action adaptations of comic book superhero movies now dominate the all-time highest-grossing films list. However, superhero cinema has also become formulaic, with post-credit scenes and Disney+ shows connecting one movie to another.

In fact, the repeated use of the once-unique trope has drawn criticism from legendary filmmakers like Martin Scorsese and James Cameron. Hence moviegoers, to some extent, know what to expect from a big-budget Hollywood superhero movie. However, for Patrick Schwarzenegger, James Gunn’s final Guardians of the Galaxy movie shattered all expectations.

“Guardians Of The Galaxy 3. I never thought I’d shed a tear in a superhero movie… but yep. That happened,” wrote Patrick Schwarzenegger in his tweet. However, he also “laughed a ton” in episodes. In fact, the Midnight Sun actor couldn’t praise the movie enough. “Great action. Epic. Fantastic movie. Congrats @prattprattpratt #GotGVol3,” he wrote.

According to Patrick Schwarzenegger, on May 5th, MCU fans will go through a roller coaster of emotions while watching GOTG Vol. 3, starring Chris Pratt as Starlord. However, none of this could’ve been possible had Parks and Recreation actor not stood up for Gunn.

Chris Pratt locked horns with Disney

After the success of GOTG2, in 2018, some highly controversial past tweets from Gunn resurfaced. The following media storm resulted in Disney axing Gunn from the MCU. However, the 43-year-old and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy cast wrote an open letter to the entertainment giant.

In the open letter, Hollywood stars like Pratt and Dave Bautista wrote to Disney about using Gunn’s script for Volume 3, yet not keeping him at the helm. According to a report by a Hollywood Reporter, even the ex-wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Pratt’s mother-in-law, Maria Shriver helped him write the letter. The appeal resulted in Gunn being reinstated at the helm of the threequel. However, GOTG Vol. 3 was Gunn’s final film with Marvel.
