You can see it at the 31:09 mark (or look at the image bove). Jonathan Derosa, the property master, and Joe Salas, the assistant property manager, are standing on what appears to be the maze set from “Werewolf By Night.” We see a burned body in some sort of structured vest, and that guy has been through it. Details aren’t exactly easy to see. He is lying on what looks like the edge of one of the pits. Derosa says, “Poor soul, this guy, he’s been here for the last three days.” Then he says, “This guy was supposed to be in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3.’ We pulled him beforehand, so … “
Marvel StudiosNow we don’t know exactly what is going to happen with this guy in the upcoming end of the trilogy (though we will very likely see some of the characters in future Marvel films), but something harrowing is going on if there is a scorched person. Perhaps more than one if they were able to just lift this from the set of the sequel without upsetting anything on James Gunn’s set. I like to imagine someone in the props department for “Guardians” saying something like, “Oh yeah, sure. Grab him. We’ve got plenty of burned corpses lying around.”
Whatever this indicates for “Guardians of the Galaxy,” it should be said that “Director By Night” is absolutely worth a watch.
“Director By Night” and “Werewolf By Night” are currently streaming on Disney+, and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” will hit theaters on May 5, 2023.
