Director Gunn announced on Facebook that film has finished filming, thanking his crew and cast. "And that is an Official Wrap on Guardians of the Galaxy. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to all of you involved with this film. Everyone down the line has been one hundred percent supportive of me and the Marvel team at every turn, and although I can be harsh or hurried at times, it has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated," wrote Gunn on Facebook.
"I feel profoundly fortunate to have been surrounded by the people on this film - because of your talent, your insight, your passion, your liveliness, and your friendship. From the cast to the producers to the costumers to the A.D.s to the stand-ins to the P.A.s to the extras to the stunties and on and on, this movie is what it is because of all of you. Thank you thank you thank you a thousand times, from the bottom of my heart. I love you all."
The new film tells the story of a jet pilot who gets stranded in space, and must unite a diverse team of aliens to form a squad capable of defeating cosmic threats.
The new Marvel adaptation stars Zoe Saldana, Lee Pace, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Benicio Del Toro and Djimon Hounsou.
