Bradley Cooper May Have Just Dropped a HUGE SPOILER For GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2
Updated with statement from James Gunn:
"So I woke up this morning to a thousand posts about Bradley Cooper having revealed that the primary villain in GotG Vol. 2 is Thanos and, oh yeah, he's also Quill's Dad. Just to let you all know Bradley just got the script and hasn't read it yet (unlike Vin Diesel, who really DID talk about the script and Awesome Mix Vol. 2 last night on Facebook), so even if Bradley wanted to spoil these things he couldn't. After watching Bradley's interview it seems pretty clear to me that he simply forgot Thanos' name, was calling him the Big Bad of GotG Vol. 1, which he kind of was, and was also calling him Ronan's father, but I can see where it might be confusing. Anyway, that's the truth, as non-eventful as that may be. Have a great day, all!"
Here's the original article that was written:
So it looks like Bradley Cooper may have just dropped a very big SPOILER regarding a major character in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. The movie came up in an interview with MTV International while the actor was promoting his new film Burnt. The actor, who plays the ass-kicking racoon Rocket in the films, was asked about the movie, and he just started talking about the identity of Star-Lord's dad like it was something everyone already knew.
If you don't want to know what he says then stop reading now and don't watch the interview. Seriously, this is a major major spoiler if Cooper really knows what he's talking about.
If you can't watch what he said, here's a little transcription:
“Josh Brolin's the villain, no? Or he’s the main villain, no? He was in the first one, he played whatshisname’s Dad. You know who I’m talking about? The Dark-Lord… the main guy.”
The name you're looking for is Star-Lord Bradley. That's the "main guy." So, judging by what Cooper is saying here, Thanos is Star-Lord's dad... KA-BOOOOM! Mind-blown, I didn't see that coming... if it's true.
I'm kind of wishing I didn't watch that interview at this point, but dammit, my curiosity got the better of me.
Cooper did the interview with Sienna Miller, and the look on her face when she realizes Cooper's let something big slip is pretty amusing. She tries to get him to shut up, but he just keeps on going and going and going.
I imagine Marvel is going to be pretty pissed off when they find out about this. There's a chance he was just messing around, after all, he is an actor. Or maybe he doesn't know what in the hell he's talking about. I'm curious to see what comes of this possible big slip up.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will hit theaters on May 5th, 2017.
