With the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Pom Klementieff, the actress who portrays Mantis, is already contemplating the future of her character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). As the film concludes with an emotional farewell, each member of the Guardians goes their separate ways, leaving Mantis’s path shrouded in uncertainty.

Mantis’s Ambiguous Journey In Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3:

In the finale of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Mantis reveals her decision to break away from the expectations others have placed upon her and embark on a quest to find her own path. In the closing scenes, she departs from Knowhere accompanied by her newly tamed Abilisk monsters. This leaves viewers pondering what lies ahead for Mantis in the MCU.

Pom Klementieff Discusses Mantis’ MCU Future:

When questioned about Mantis’s future beyond Guardians of the Galaxy, Pom Klementieff admitted uncertainty regarding the character’s fate in upcoming movies. She disclosed, “We don’t know what’s going to happen with the characters, if there’s going to be more movies, if we’re going to come back. We have no clue. Mantis is going to go riding and see what’s up.” This suggests that the actress is unaware of Marvel Studios’ plans for Mantis but remains open to potential developments.

Excitement For Cannes And Other Projects:

While uncertain about her character’s future, Pom Klementieff expressed her enthusiasm for attending the Cannes Film Festival, where her upcoming film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, as well as her BMW short film, are scheduled to premiere. The actress expressed gratitude for working with accomplished directors such as James Gunn, Christopher McQuarrie, and Sam Hargrave. She appreciates the exposure these projects provide and eagerly awaits their reception by audiences.

Potential For Guardians Spin-Offs And Mantis Series:

When asked about the possibility of future Guardians spin-offs or a Mantis-centric series in light of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney+, Pom Klementieff expressed enthusiasm, stating, “Oh, that’d be fun. For sure.” This suggests her willingness to explore these opportunities should they arise.

Despite her growing presence in other film franchises, including the Mission: Impossible series, recent comments from Pom Klementieff hint at her involvement in a project under James Gunn’s direction within the DC universe. It remains unclear how this new endeavor might impact Marvel Studios’ potential plans for Mantis. Considering James Gunn’s departure from Marvel, it is likely that any future exploration of the character will require careful handling and may not occur in the immediate future.
