James Gunn says Star-Lord’s father and the main villain have been cast in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

January 30, 2016 by Gary Collinson

With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 moving quickly towards production, having held a table read and rehearsals this past week, director James Gunn has been holding an impromptu Q&A with fans on Twitter.

The talking point is Gunn’s announcement that the roles of Star-Lord’s father and the main villain(s) have been cast:

As for the identity of Star-Lord’s father, Gunn continues to give very little away, save for the fact that it won’t be J’son of Spartax.

As yet, there’s been no word on which actors might have nabbed these roles, although Kurt Russell has confirmed that he’s had talks with Marvel following rumours that he was wanted for Star-Lord’s father. Hopefully we’ll get some official casting news soon.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is scheduled for release on April 28th 2017 in the UK and on May 5th in the States, with director James Gunn reuniting with returning cast members Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax), Bradley Cooper (Rocket), Vin Diesel (Groot), Karen Gillan (Nebulda), Michael Rooker (Yondu) and Sean Gunn (Kraglin) alongside new addition Pom Klementieff (Oldboy).
