#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Did James Gunn's parents cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

Based on internal knowledge of the production and James Gunn’s filmography:

Only James Gunn’s mother, Leota Gunn, has a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. His father, James Gunn Sr., passed away in 2019 before the film began production.

Here are the specific details regarding their presence in the movie:

Leota Gunn (Mother): She appears during the final celebration sequence on Knowhere while the song "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + The Machine is playing. She is seen as an inhabitant of Knowhere, specifically an elderly woman seen in the crowd as the characters are dancing.
James Gunn Sr. (Father): While he does not physically appear in the film due to his passing, James Gunn dedicated the movie to him. The credits feature a special dedication that reads: "For my father, James Gunn Sr. (1941–2019)."

This film broke the tradition established in the first two installments. In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, both parents appeared as "Weird Old People" on Xandar, and in Vol. 2, they appeared as the "Old Couple on Earth" who are nearly hit by Ego’s expansion in Missouri while taking photos with their phones.

#A DIRECT ANSWER (VERIFIED ANALYSIS)

James Gunn's parents, James Gunn Sr. and Leota Gunn, do not have live-action cameos in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. However, a photo of both of them appears in the film's credits. James Gunn Sr. passed away in 2019, and the film is dedicated to him. The AI incorrectly claims Leota Gunn appears in the Knowhere crowd scene and falsely states they cameoed in Vol. 1 (their only live cameo was in Vol. 2).
