Editors - Fred Raskin ACE and Greg D'Auria

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: VOL. 3 editors Fred Raskin and Greg D'Auria find themselves in familiar territory; collaborating on a James Gunn project. But their twenty-year plus relationship dates back much further than their work with Gunn. The two first collaborated on Tarantino's KILL BILL: VOL. 1 (2003).

In James Gunn's final installment of the "Guardians" trilogy, Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team to defend the universe and protect one of their own. If the mission is not completely successful, it could possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.

FRED RASKIN ACE

Fred has worked with Gunn on all three Guardians of the Galaxy films, as well as the tv series PEACEMAKER and Peacemaker's origin film, THE SUICIDE SQUAD (2021). In addition to his work with Gunn, another prominent director that Fred is known to cut for is Quentin Tarantino. Fred handled the editorial duties for DJANGO UNCHAINED (2012), THE HATEFUL EIGHT (2015) and, most recently, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (2019).

GREG D'AURIA

Editor Greg D'Auria has crossed paths with Fred Raskin on more than one occasion in their careers. Also a veteran of the "Quentin Tarantino Extended Universe", Greg has worked as assistant and editor on films such as KILL BILL: VOL 1 (2003) and DJANGO UNCHAINED (2012). D'Auria also lent his editorial talents to films like FAST & FURIOUS 6 (2013), F9: THE FAST SAGA (2021) and the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY HOLIDAY SPECIAL (2022).
