The scene opens with some familiar faces discussing music on a seemingly deserted desert planet. Rocket Raccoon asks everyone what their favorite song is and why. After Kraglin, Cosmo, Adam Warlock, Blurp (a pet-like alien creature previously adopted by Warlock), and a young girl named Phyla (more on her later) respond, Rocket reveals his favorite song: Redbone’s Come and get your lovewhich fans will recognize as one of the original Guardians of the Galaxy tunes.
Suddenly, their peaceful discussion is interrupted by an approaching horde of alien monsters. Rocket tells everyone to prepare for battle, and Groot reveals himself as a large rock-like structure that the group sat against as they discussed their favorite songs. As they charge into battle, the camera zooms in on Rocket, now firmly established as the leader of this new iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

A quick word about Phyla: in the movie, she is assumed to be one of the children the Guardians rescued from High Evolution. She has blonde/silver hair and one magenta eye. Marvel fans know that Phyla’s comic book counterpart, Phyla-Vell, is the daughter of the original Captain Marvel. In 2019, the MCU replaced that character with Wendy Lawson Captain Marvel movie. Whether Lawson and this Phyla are even related remains to be seen.

The second and last scene after the closing credits Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 begins with Star-Lord now on Earth, walking down a nice suburban street. He stumbles upon a house that seems familiar to him: it is his childhood home. He knocks on the door, which gradually opens to reveal an elderly black woman. At first Star-Lord thinks he’s mistaken the house or that his grandfather has moved in the meantime, but the woman stops him and lets him inside. Star-Lord enters the house to find his grandfather still alive on the front porch. The two men embraced.
The next scene shows two men eating breakfast in their kitchen. Quill’s grandfather reads a newspaper that has a headline revealing that Kevin Bacon has given an interview about his contact with alien life. This is a callback to Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, when the actor was kidnapped by Mantis and Drax as a bizarre gift for Peter. The two men continue to eat breakfast in peaceful solitude.
The title card gradually reveals that “Star-Lord will return.” Although Peter has seemingly retired from the superhero life, this exit scene strongly suggests that there is still a future for the character and Chris Pratt in the MCU.
