Marvel showed plenty off during San Diego Comic-Con, including the first Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 teaser. However, the footage won't be available on the web for some time due to its VFX shots needing more time from the artists.

Director James Gunn revealed the exact reason on Twitter when speaking to the disappointed fans. "Its truly sad how Marvel holds [this] amazing space opera work of art from us, the fans who really care," one person wrote, and they quickly received an answer.

"It's not just Marvel, it's also me. Although I love the teaser some VFX aren't where I'd want them to be for repeated views & close inspection - remember we didn't wrap long ago - so you'll have to wait just a beat," Gunn explained.

The director also revealed he always cared about quality even when others around him didn't. "Never in a million years would I have shown scenes from Slither with subpar effects, VFX or practical," he added.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 wrapped filming in early May, meaning the visual effect studios have had access to the raw material only for a couple of months. Following recent discussions about how Marvel has the "worst VFX management," it might be a good move for the studio to finally ease its pressure on the visual department.

Many VFX artists shared their thoughts about poor working conditions at Marvel recently. Some reveal they had to crunch for months and "it's not worth it." It is unknown whether the studio has already taken some steps towards solving this issue or will continue to set unrealistic deadlines for its incredibly busy pipeline.

Aside from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Marvel has shown the first Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer, and announced a two-part Avengers story as the Phase 6 grand finale, coming just months apart in 2025. Imagine the VFX artists' faces when they learned about that.
