Director James Gunn Spills Some Details About Guardians Of The Galaxy 2

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn is already out talking about the sequel set for a July 28th, 2017 release, be warned minor SPOILERS below.

In a recent interview with Empire he says that those hoping for Thanos to be the big bad guy for the movie, they are likely to be disappointed, in fact he may not show up at all in the movie.

"He will show up [in the sequel] if he helps our story and he will not show up at all if not. Thanos is not the most important thing in Guardians 2, that’s for damn sure. There’s the Guardians themselves and other threats the Guardians are going to be facing that are not Thanos."

Of course that is probably because Thanos is likely to be the main villain for the third Avengers movie.

When it comes to who Star-Lord's father is, the director also warns it's probably not who you think it is.

"It’s definitely not the character who it is in the comics, I’ll say that much."

He goes on to say:

"There have been a lot of documents passed around about who Peter Quill’s father is between a select two or three of us," says Gunn. "That’s been part of the plan since the beginning, that’s something I had to work out before we shot the screenplay. We wanted to make sure Yondu’s place in everything made sense and it does, so it’s all very specific stuff."

So who do you think will end up being Quill's father in the movie-verse?
