In the post-credits scene of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” lead Ravager Stakar (Sylvester Stallone) indicates that he will be reuniting his own team after Yondu’s death. This was the team that Yondu was once a part of, which became dissolved through years of turmoil. However, they are not the only ones. In the Disney+ feature for the historically complicated “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” Marvel Studios Assembled, producer Simon Hatt stated that this symbolic move far extended beyond Stakar’s specific team. After Yondu redeems himself in the eyes of the Ravagers, they all attend his funeral and decide to come together.
“In Yondu’s death, the Ravagers have become united,” Hatt explained, per The Direct. “So when you see them this time around. There’s yellow [crews], there’s blue, there’s red, there’s green. Everyone’s there, and they’re one Ravager tribe right now.” Stakar and the other Ravagers return in “Vol. 3” when Rocket’s (Bradley Cooper) life is on the line. They assist in Quill and company’s bid to save him, showing that they have all become one singular operation. Not only have they all united in solidarity, but “Vol. 3” makes it clear that this collection of people is like a family. While Gamora (Zoe Saldaña) is not a part of Quill’s found family, she has found acceptance somewhere else. Without Yondu’s noble sacrifice, this would not have been possible.
