And we heard it directly from director James Gunn, who announced on Twitter that Star-Lord, Gamora, Groot and co would return for a solo adventure in 2020.

Gunn also answered a few fan questions while making the announcement. For instance, when a user questioned if favourite Yondu (“I'm Mary Poppins, y'all”) could return, he gave a solid no.

Gunn also revealed that the soundtrack for the film – always an important aspect for Guardians – had already been selected.

And then Star-Lord himself Chris Pratt Tweeted his own very important question to Gunn about the nature of the villain in volume three...

...To which Gunn gave a very important answer...

So there you have it: Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will definitely 100% completely-not-joking-at-all feature a box of snakes. And Twitter couldn't be happier about it.
