Thor: Love and Thunder will feature an appearance by the Guardians of the Galaxy. When asked about about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Groot voice actor Vin Diesel mentioned that he spoke with director Taika Waititi about the next Thor film.

"I am waiting and excited for my friend James Gunn to knock this next one out of the park," Diesel told ComicBook.com. "He took The Suicide Squad so he's about to embark on it. Thor will also -- the director talked to me about Thor will incorporate some of the Guardians of the Galaxy."

"That'll be very interesting. Nobody knows. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything," he added.

In his last Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance, Thor boarded the Milano with Rocket Raccoon. He realized he wasn't destined to be a king and left the rule of Asgard (at least, what's left of it) to Valkyrie, who accepted despite her disbelief. So he left Earth with the Guardians to go adventuring, though Peter Quill was none too happy about this turn of events.

As such, it makes sense for the Guardians to appear in Thor: Love and Thunder in some capacity. Diesel didn't offer any hints about how long the team will stick around; it's just as possible for them to put in a guest appearance as it is for them to play a more central role. After all, production on Thor: Love and Thunder is slated to start production in August, while Guardians 3 production isn't expected to start until February 2021, so the Guardians cast has plenty of time.

Directed by Taika Waititi, Thor: Love and Thunder stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster. The film arrives in theaters Nov. 5, 2021.
