by

As a seasoned gamer and ardent Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) follower with over two decades of comic book and movie-watching under my belt, I must say that the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise has been a consistent bright spot amidst some Phase 4 and Phase 5 stumbles. The latest installment, Vol. 3, has rightfully earned praise from fans for being the finest yet.

Regardless of certain Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films in Phases 4 and 5 not meeting expectations, the Guardians of the Galaxy series has maintained impressive performances. The most recent film in the franchise has earned high praise from many fans, being hailed as the best in the series.

In the third movie, we delve deeper into the lives of the High Evolutionary and Rocket Raccoon, revealing their heartbreaking past and serving as a poignant goodbye to the original team. As the old Guardians break up, a fresh group emerges under Rocket’s command.

In the most recent addition to the Guardians of the Galaxy series, several actors from past films reprised their roles, including Miley Cyrus, who was initially slated for the character Mainframe’s voice. However, in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Mainframe, a founding member and leader of the Mainframe Ravager Clan, an artificial intelligence, and a member of both Stakar Ogord’s team and the United Ravagers, is present but with a different voice actor providing his lines.

In a statement when the movie came out in 2023, Director James Gunn clarified the change in casting. He mentioned that Miley Cyrus was not available at the time, implying attempts were made to involve her, but things didn’t pan out as planned. Gunn also confirmed that the character Mainframe in Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 remains consistent.

In the end, Tara Strong, known for her role as Miss Minutes in Loki, voiced Mainframe.
