Los Angeles, Calif. – May 1, 2023 — Writer/Director James Gunn hosted some of the most influential names in music Friday night for a first look at Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3” inside Knowhere Bar— an immersive pop-up nightclub and theater which took inspiration from the Guardians’ home base. Stars Chris Pratt and Pom Klementieff welcomed artists and cultural tastemakers like Diplo, NIKI, Dorian Electra, Money Mark of the Beastie Boys, LUCK, and many more while DJ Shana Sharett spun tunes and the cast posed for photos and told stories.

Music has always played a major role in all the Guardians films, so this rare gathering of L.A.’s music scene was the perfect way to celebrate the franchise’s final installment. The special gathering also included representatives from several of the communities most prominent collectives such as Emo Nite, 88 Rising, Brownies & Lemonade and more.

To make this happen, Marvel Studios tapped LA-based creative agency IHEARTCOMIX, which has deep roots in the music community, to conceive and develop the ultimate nightlife destination, which featured a recreation of several elements of the set, the colorful space suits from the film (hand-made for this event) and a full 180-seat movie theater constructed from scratch. IHC curated the guestlist as well, creating a rare blend of music and art worlds meeting film culture.
