Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Production Weekly has listed the film as 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2 "aka Guardians 3000"'. In the comics, these guys were the original Guardians of the Galaxy, and protected the future from various cosmic threats. They currently have their own comic series, titled 'Guardians 3000' to avoid confusion with Star-Lord, Groot and the gang. Interestingly enough, they have also counted Yondu among their ranks, who you'll remember as the blue-skinned space pirate that 'adopted' Quill after his mum died of cancer. Could this mean that the original Guardians of the Galaxy will be making an appearance alongside the modern team in the sequel? We'll have to wait and see. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will be released worldwide on May 5th, 2017.

Yahoo Movies was at Comic-Con this year, and we had the opportunity to chat with some of the cast and crew of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. One of the bigger stories to come out of San Diego was the confirmation that the sequel will have Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone in its cast. When our pal Kevin Polowy chatted with the film’s director, James Gunn, he pointed out something pretty awesome about the two icons being in the film.

“It’s a Tango & Cash reunion,” Polowy told Gunn. “You got Kurt Russell and Sly Stallone.” “We got Kurt Russell who plays Ego, Peter Quill’s father, and then we have Sly Stallone playing an unnamed character,” Gunn replied. When asked if they would be together onscreen at any point, Gunn played coy. “Kurt’s one of the stars of the movie and Sly is a supporting cast member at this time,” he answered.
