15th July - Concept Art
In this concept art for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, you can see all your favorites: Drax, Groot, Yondu, Star-Lord, Rocket, Nebula, and Gamora. But wait! Who’s that alien lady with the antennae?
The answer is a brand-new character named Mantis, an acquaintance of the Guardians played by actress Pom Klementieff (Spike Lee’s Oldboy). “She has never really experienced social interaction,” says executive producer Jonathan Schwartz. “Everything she learns about dealing with people, she learns from the Guardians of the Galaxy, which is a very weird group to learn your social intricacies from.”
Mantis may not be the only new character, according to Schwartz, who says audiences will be treated to a very different Groot from the stoic man-tree of the original 2014 film. “He doesn’t have the wisdom and experience of that Groot,” Schwartz says. “He’s a younger Groot and a more rambunctious Groot. The question is, is he the same Groot, just smaller? Or is he a different Groot that’s sprung up from the seed of the first Groot?”

25th April 2016 - Nathan Fillion To Cameo As Wonder Man
Fan favorite Firefly star Nathan Fillion is Simon Williams, a.k.a. Wonder Man, in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
In the Marvel Comics Universe, Simon Williams is a former members of the Masters of Evil, and brother of villain the Grim Reaper, who reformed and joined the Avengers. Williams eventually retired from the Avengers to pursue an acting career. He was later dragged back into the Avengers’ active roster, despite becoming a pacifist, as a member of the Avengers Unity Division. He paid the ultimate price while defending the Earth from the Apocalypse Twins.
Photos surfaced online (via Jonathan Hunter) recently that show Fillion’s face on several mock movie posters surrounding a theater in Cartersville, Ga. The theater’s marquee reveals the theater is hosting a Simon Williams movie festival. The posters range in tone from romantic comedy Oh, Rebecca, to a Conan-esque poster for a movie about Conan-esque Marvel Comics character Arkon, and a Steve Jobs style poster for a biopic about Tony Stark, all starring Williams.

In addition, the film’s soundtrack went platinum and was nominated for a Grammy®.

30th December 2015 - Thanos Not Expected to Appear
We don't know when we'll see the Marvel Cinematic Universe's big bad Thanos next but it won't come in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Marvel Studios head, Kevin Feige, advised, "I wouldn't look too hard in [Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2] for Thanos." We were going to, seeing as Thanos made his first non-post-credits scene appearance in the first Guardians.
Sure, we'll have to wait, but it sounds like it will be worth it. Fans have criticized Thanos for sitting around in his floating throne somewhere in the galaxy without doing anything himself, but Feige says that won't be the case next time. Remember, he grabbed himself an Infinity Gauntlet by the time Avengers: Age of Ultron's credits were through. "The next time we see Thanos he will not be messing around. It will be, 'Oh, that's why they've been teasing this villain for five years,'" Feige explained while speaking to Empire magazine.

29th October 2015 - Pom Klementieff Cast in a Mystery Role
Marvel conducted a wide search for its mystery part, which called for an Asian actress, doing several rounds of chemistry reads.
Relative unknown Pom Klementieff has nabbed one of the new key roles in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
The role is a big break for Klementieff, who has mostly worked in France. She did, however, appear in Spike Lee’s recent remake of Japanese thriller Oldboy in a role that demanded physicality and martial arts. Oldboy was her entrée into American and English-language movies.

26th August 2015 - Vin Diesel Returning
Answering fan questions on Facebook, James Gunn confirmed that Vin Diesel will be back for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 as everyone’s favorite space tree.
It’s not exactly clear what Groot will look like in Vol. 2, as when we last saw the enormous humanoid tree, he was reduced to a tiny (dancing) sprout. Diesel recorded countless versions of Groot’s signature phrase (“I am Groot”) for the original, even saying his lines in French, Spanish, Russian, Brazilian Portugese, and Mandarin.

I didn't watch the first part, was it good?
ReplyDeleteIt was great, and funny. Watch it!
ReplyDeleteI consider it my favorite MCU movie yet, so yeah it's definitely good LOL
ReplyDeleteIn the top 3 for the Marvel movies imo.
ReplyDeleteA must watch.
I knew there wouldn't be any Hulk because James Gunn has denied that for ages but I am a little disappointed. The Hulk sent into space at the end of AOU rumor from last year got my hopes up that I wouldn't have to wait until the next Avengers to see Bruce again but yet again I have to wait years until I see the character.
ReplyDeleteReally that good? I don't see the appeal, does it feature a good storyline? From the trailers it seemed more like they were just blazing around.
ReplyDeleteInteretsing. Besides the Avengers and Captain America I don't watch Marvel movies and this really didn't appeal to me. I heard good things and the numbers were really good but somehow no appeal.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's wacky and pure fun.
ReplyDeleteWhen my friends and I saw it at the cinema's we all got Firefly vibes. So if you enjoy things like Firefly and Star Trek then you'll enjoy it.
I've never watched Firefly, wasn't on my radar. Star Trek was a bit to serious for mini me, but I watched a couple of eps and it's a fine show.
ReplyDeleteWill check the movie out, nothing to lose and IF I don't like it, U and me will talk ;-)
Haha ;D
ReplyDeleteWasn't Hulk rumored to appear in Civil War?
ReplyDeleteYeah though I really doubt it will happen simply because they keep denying me more Bruce!
ReplyDeleteWhatever man, I'm going to keep hoping Captain Marvel is in it until the movie comes out.
ReplyDeleteLol. Marvel is really working against U.
ReplyDeleteBut looking at it adding Bruce to the bunch would almost make it an Avengers movie.
Wasn't Guardians of the galaxy supposed to be just one movie?
ReplyDeleteIt just premiered on Starz. Great fun.
ReplyDeleteHow many seasons? 1 or 3?
ReplyDelete1 and a movie.
ReplyDeleteI will maybe check it out during the summer or the winter mid-season break.
ReplyDeleteYou should. It's widely considered Whedon's opus.
ReplyDeleteWhy than just one season?
ReplyDeleteThey announced Guardians 2, before the first even came out.
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks, my bad. :-)
ReplyDeleteBecause FOX basically f*cked the shoe out of the gate. Aired the second episode first, terrible time slot, etc. it never had a shot. And it was a genre show on a early 2000s network.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of Bruce meeting FitzSimmons fills me with joy!
ReplyDeleteThey so are! I mean Civil War has all the current Avengers members in it apart from Thor (who has his own stuff to deal with in his own movie) and Bruce..
ReplyDeleteI mean it's understandable as the topic concerns all the heroes and their identity. But Bruce is a major part of why CW is happening.
ReplyDeleteI loved the IM vs Hulk in Ultron. Such an impressive fight.
Seriously, it would be so fun if they geeked out over stuff together. And if Skye had some residual issues with controlling her "gift", a few lessons from someone who knows all about destructive powers and how to harness them wouldn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteI watched the movie this morning. It is a good one, I laughed, it was entertaining and had a solid story throughout.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with the characters previous to watching the movie so it was entertaining getting to know them.
Most of the characters were very different from the comic so effectively it was like a rebirth for them all. They were all redefined so not only film fans but comic fans go to get to know these characters from the base up.
ReplyDeleteThey have an animated series in development now which continues on from the movie. It's not set in the cinematic universe but it uses the movie as a launching point.
That is a smart move. The characters are quite likeable and the comedic writing in the movie was spot on. I loved when Rocket asked for the machanic leg and that eye even though he didn't need them.
ReplyDeleteDon't really know what to think about the movie being part of the MU would probably prefer if they had their own story but I assume all the stories will collide very soon.
Apparently it was planned as a trilogy of movies which will intersect at some point (probably Infinity War). My guess is during GOTG 2 Thanos will come for the Infinity Stones and he'll get them. Then he'll go to Earth, causing the GOTG to follow him.
ReplyDeleteGood guess. It'll most likely be something like that. Will be nice to see Peter reunite with his family at one point.
ReplyDeleteKiiiiiiiiinda bummed over the "No Hulk..."
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear Awesome Vol. 2, Guardians of the Galaxy has the BEST soundtrack EVER!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHa! Quentin is that you?
ReplyDeleteLOVE this title. It fits so well!
ReplyDeleteWell I was expecting the soundtrack to have hat title... But ok....
