Is This the Big Easter Egg Waiting to Be Discovered in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY?
I recently received an email from a GT reader named Matt, pointing out what he thinks is a big undiscovered Easter egg in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Could this be the big Easter egg teased by Gunn? I have no idea, but it looks like that Matt could be on to something. The email came along with the following image:
The image features a screenshot of the hologram body scan of Peter Quill/Star-Lord from the film next to an image of the Marvel character known as Legacy, a.k.a. Genis-Vell, a.k.a. Captain Marvel. As you can see there’s a fascinating resemblance between the two images. I know that this doesn’t really follow the storyline laid out in the comic books, but Marvel Studios and Gunn could be switching some things up for the future storyline for Star-Lord, which could be really interesting.
Will Peter Quill find himself in possession of the extraterrestrial golden bracelets known as the Nega-Bands? Will he eventually slam his wrists together with them, causing his atoms to trade places with an alien Kree type character? In the comic books, Rick Jones is the character that gets the Nega-Bands and slams his wrists together with them. This causes his atoms to trade places with those of Kree Captain Mar-Vel. Will Marvel change up this storyline to fit in with Peter Quill in the MCU?
This could be nothing, but who knows, maybe this could actually be something! If it is, will Gunn even confirm it? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. What do you all think?! Is this a stretch of the imagination or do you think Matt is on to something here?
