Trivia: The actor playing new IMF agent "India Zulu 254" is Alex James-Phelps - possibly a deliberate casting choice given a main character in the series and original film is called Jim Phelps.

Trivia: After a delay caused by positive covid tests, Tom Cruise personally paid half a million pounds for a cruise ship for the cast and crew to isolate themselves on during filming.

Trivia: Final budget was $291m, in large part due to the delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, making it one of the most expensive films of all time. Filming was scheduled to start in February 2020 with a planned release date of July 23, 2021. Filming eventually started on September 6, 2020 and wrapped in September 2021 - the film was released in July 2023.

Factual error: After the successful Trinity test in 1945, people in a crowd are holding small US flags with 50 stars on them (offset rows). At the time there were only 48 states and the flag had 48 stars in even rows. The 50 star flag didn't exist until 1960, after Alaska and Hawaii were made states in 1959.

Factual error: Kris is playing the original Gameboy and says he can't beat Bowser. No Mario game released before 1994 for the original Gameboy featured Bowser as a boss.

Trivia: There are two credit sequences - one shows a new Guardians line-up: Rocket, Groot, Cosmo, Kraglin, Adam Warlock and Phyla, one of the rescued children. The other shows Peter having breakfast with his grandfather.

Trivia: Quill keeps correcting people that "it's not a trap, it's a face off". After defeating the High Evolutionary they do actually take his face off.

Trivia: Groot's line at the end "I love you guys" was confirmed by James Gunn not to be Groot speaking English, but just to show that we the audience have become close enough to him to have learned to understand his language, as Gamora has too.

Trivia: Administrator Kwol, who gets shot in the leg, is played by Jennifer Holland, who is married to James Gunn.

Trivia: Lylla is voiced by Linda Cardellini, who also plays Hawkeye's wife.

Trivia: Nathan Fillion's third and most significant appearance in a Guardians of the Galaxy film. He voiced a CGI character in the original, and was meant to appear in posters in the background of the sequel, but those scenes didn't make the cut.

Trivia: The first MCU movie to feature the word "fuck", when Quill tells Nebula to "open the fucking door", a line that was improvised on-set and kept in because it was so funny. James Gunn anticipated being told to cut it out, but Kevin Feige left it up to Gunn's discretion. Feige said the Russo brothers had a "fuck" in an early cut of Avengers: Endgame, but they "didn't want that to be their legacy, so if you want that to be your legacy, then sure." James Gunn said that just made him even more keen to keep the line in, at which Feige "laughed his ass off."

Question: He Who Remains talks about reincarnation, and says "see you soon" to Sylvie. Does he literally mean this version of himself will return? If so how, given he's, y'know, dead? Or does he just mean that another version of him will encounter Sylvie in due course, either his younger self or another variant?

Trivia: The tiny pizza being embiggened by Hank is a deliberate nod by Peyton Reed to Back to the Future Part II, where a similar thing happens. Reed directed some behind the scenes footage for that film very early in his career.

Trivia: This was filmed back to back with the as-yet-untitled Avatar 3. But filming didn't start until the scripts were written for 2 further sequels, so the actors would know the paths that their characters were on. James Cameron allocated the scripts to different writers after months of meetings and storyboarding. He didn't tell the writers which script they'd be working on until the end, because he knew "they'd tune out every time we were talking about the other movie."

Trivia: Kate Winslet performed all her underwater stunts herself, in the process holding her breath underwater for 7 minutes and 15 seconds, breaking Tom Cruise's record, set while filming Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.

Trivia: The final scene of the film was also the final scene filmed. Director Martin McDonagh wasn't sure what the feeling of the end should be until the film was almost finished.

Trivia: The first film Colin Farrell's pet donkey "Jenny" has appeared in, making her a "diva", according to Farrell. Her real name is also Jenny - the name was kept to help her react to commands. She kicked Colin Farrell at one point when he was trying to feed her.

Trivia: The jumpers worn by the cast were all knitted by hand by one woman for the film, Delia Barry.

Trivia: Winston Duke's line "you bald-headed demon" was improvised.
