hm

Ayesha as the Matriarch of the Universal Church of Truth, and the reason Thanos needs to re-balance the Universe?

That would be fun.

And with "HER"...comes "HIM"!

Has it been established for sure that he is EGO?

As far as tie-in products...it is 100% confirmed that there is a Funko Pop with the name Ego on the box...not sure if the movie will play some switch, but I have seen the Funko box in hand that says Ego.

Just the box?

I don't think you can classify that as a joke.

True. Cross-character threats for them: loads of laughs for viewers. And confirmation for all don't be the one that follows up behind The Destroyer in the bathroom. You'll find out real fast how he landed the title.

:sick:

Me too ! This looks like its going to be another fantastic movie!

Me 3! I just remember hearing the news that Marvel was making a GOTG movie and everyone freaking out..."Why?!", "Nobody knows these characters", "guaranteed flop", etc. This was fresh off the heals of my cosmic cherry being burst by reading the Annihilation, Annihilation:Conquest, Nova, GOTG books...I was ecstatic! Several years later and GOTG is a serious franchise. Love this stuff...

Anyone catch this?

Sylvester Stallone's Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Character Possibly Known

Sylvester Stallone's Guardians of the Galaxy 2 character possibly becomes known through a foreign cast description.

 

As suspected, Sylvester Stallone appears to be playing an original member of the 1969 Guardians of the Galaxy team from the comics as Stallone is listed as playing Stakar, who is also known as Starkhawk and happens to be one of director James Gunn's favorite characters.

 

As we also just reported, Starhawk was recently hinted at in the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Junior Novel.

They said Michael Rosenbaum is playing someone close to Stallone's character. Since Starhawk was an OG Guardian and Rosenbaum was in Gunn's PG Porn, I would guess he is playing Charlie "Brown"-27.

That's one heck of an announcement post, it would be a shame not to post it.

Well, this week we start the U.S. press junket, before traveling to Europe at the end of the week. Of course I know some of the questions that come up a lot – “Wasn’t there a lot more pressure dealing with the sequel of a beloved film?” (No, there was less, because this time I knew there was an audience waiting to see it!) and, “What was it like working with Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone?” (Daunting and at times overwhelming – I ran around in my backyard as a kid pretending to be Snake Plissken and John Rambo, so these guys are true icons to me.)
 

But the question that comes up perhaps the most is, “What’s the deal with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and are you going to direct?”

Before I was able to honestly answer this, I needed to know it was, in my heart, what I truly felt called to do. There is a history in Hollywood of haphazard endings to trilogies, and I didn’t want to become a part of that dishonorable tradition of pretending the third one doesn’t exist. I couldn’t do it for the money, and I couldn’t do it because it was what other people wanted me to do. I needed to do it because it was what I needed to do. I have never made choices in my career based on anything other than passion and love for the stories and characters, and I didn’t want to start now.

So, after many months of ruminations and discussions, I know the answer. I could save this answer for the first, random interviewer to ask me during the press junket but instead I thought I’d share it with the most important people in the Guardiansverse – you, the fans, who have been so incredibly supportive and enthusiastic over the past five years, it has moved me to tears on a regular basis.

So, yes, I’m returning to write and direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

In the end, my love for Rocket, Groot, Gamora, Star-Lord, Yondu, Mantis, Drax, and Nebula – and some of the other forthcoming heroes – goes deeper than you guys can possibly imagine, and I feel they have more adventures to go on and things to learn about themselves and the wonderful and sometimes terrifying universe we all inhabit. And, like in both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, we will work on creating the story that goes beyond what you expect.

My partnership with the folks at Marvel Studios – Kevin Feige, Lou D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Jonathan Schwartz – has been the best of my professional career, and is a huge contributing factor to my decision – as is my relationship to the guys at Disney Studios – Bob Iger, Alan Horn, and Alan Bergman – who have been cheerleading innovation and the pure love of movies from the start. This is the kind of thing you’d expect a director to say about the people who have just hired him, but people who know me know I would never put up working with people I don’t like for a single movie, much less two, and much, much less three. I love them all and appreciate immensely their collaboration. I wake up every day pinching myself that they’d allow this punk rock kid from Missouri to help create this wonderful universe, and to not only allow but encourage creative freedom while doing so.

I can’t fricking wait to get started.

Much of what’s happened in the MCU for the past ten or so years has been leading, in a big way, to the Avengers’ Infinity War. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will happen after all that. It will conclude the story of this iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and help catapult both old and new Marvel characters into the next ten years and beyond. I will be working side-by-side with Kevin Feige and the gang to help design where these stories go, and make sure the future of the Marvel Cosmic Universe is as special and authentic and magical as what we have created so far.

I promise you, the fans, I’ll do it all with integrity and love and respect for the characters.

Make mine Marvel.

We are Groot.

Excelsior!

Love,

James
