Director James Gunn has revealed the tracklist for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 mixtape, and it’s far more modern than the late-’70s and ’80s rock of the previous two films. The new soundtrack includes some classic rock favorites and newer tracks that prove to be just as catchy. The key to the updated sound is the Zune – a discontinued MP3 player from Microsoft – that was given to Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) in the second installment. The third movie will feature the superheroes listening to the music from the Zune for years.
