In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, none of the main members of the Guardians of the Galaxy team die. The film culminates in a bittersweet farewell for the original crew, all of whom survive the events of the movie, marking a new chapter for the team.
While the primary Guardians remain intact, the film does feature a deeply impactful death that serves as a pivotal emotional moment within the story:
- Lylla's Death: Lylla, an otter and one of Rocket's closest friends from his traumatic past as an experimental subject under the High Evolutionary, tragically dies during the film. Her demise, alongside the deaths of Floor and Teefs (Rocket's other animal companions from that period), is a significant emotional catalyst for Rocket's character arc and forms the emotional core of the entire movie. Although Lylla is not a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy team, her death is central to understanding Rocket's history and motivations.
