I can certainly provide more information on the topic of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and its post-credit scenes.
The film marks the end of an era for the Guardians, as it is likely the last time we will see the original team together on-screen. The emotional climax of the film sees the team work together to rescue Rocket from the clutches of The High Evolutionary, a villain who has been experimenting on animals in an effort to create a "perfect" creature. Along the way, the Guardians manage to save the other creatures that The High Evolutionary has been experimenting on and give them a new home.
After the adventure, the Guardians have a heart-to-heart about what they want from life, and each member of the team decides to go their separate ways. Gamora, who has no connection to the team due to time travel, acknowledges her affection for the group before heading back to the Ravagers. Drax and Nebula decide to stay on Knowhere and lead the fledgling colony, while Mantis wants to find herself and go on her own adventure. Star-Lord hands the captain title to Rocket, telling his friends that he wants to go and see his grandfather on planet Earth.
But despite this apparent end to the Guardians' story, the mid-credits scene gives us a glimpse of what's to come. Rocket is seen with a new team of Guardians, including telekinetic canine Cosmo, superpowered Adam Warlock, klutzy Kraglin, a very massive Groot, and one of the Star Kids rescued from The High Evolutionary's prison. They are hanging out just beyond the perimeter of a village, talking about their favorite songs, when a stampede of alien beasts descends upon the village.
The scene establishes the new Guardians roster now that Rocket has taken over, with heavy hitters like Adam Warlock and Cosmo both having superpowers. Kraglin has mastered the hot pink, whistle-controlled arrow once used by Star-Lord's adoptive father Yondu, while Groot is even bigger than before. The unnamed Star Kid is the wild card, as they appear to have some powers but the scene cuts before we see them fight. During the movie, we learn that The High Evolutionary has tinkered with the children's genes and made them extremely intelligent, but we don't know exactly what powers they may have.
Rocket's choice of song, "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone, is also notable. It was the song playing in the first scene of the original Guardians of the Galaxy movie, where Peter Quill steals the Infinity Stone from the planet Morag. Rocket playing the song is not just an homage to Quill but also signals a new beginning for the Guardians.
Th
e final credits scene gives us a glimpse into Peter Quill's reunion with his grandfather, whom he last saw in 1988. It's a touching moment that provides closure for the character, who has struggled with the loss of his mother and the absence of his father throughout the trilogy.
Overall, the post-credit scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 set up a new direction for the franchise while also providing closure for the original team. It remains to be seen where the new team will go and what challenges they will face, but fans can be assured that there are more adventures to come.
