Rumor: Here's The New Lineup of Guardians in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2

Geek.com has been tearing it up with Marvel movie rumors recently, and that streak continues today with an article about the new lineup of Guardians in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Turn back now if you don't want to know, because there are potential spoilers ahead.

Here's the team as it will appear in Vol. 2: Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot will all be back, while the new additions will be Yondu (Michael Rooker), Nebula (Karen Gillan), and Mantis (to be played by Pom Klementieff).

We know all about Yondu and Nebula from the first movie, but Mantis will be a brand new face in this galaxy, and you can read all about her backstory right here. It remains to be seen how Gunn will utilize these characters and how they'll differ from the comics, but after seeing what a wonderful job he did with the first movie, I have high hopes that he'll be able to pull off something equally amazing with this sequel. We'll classify this as a rumor for now, but I have a feeling Geek.com is right on the money with this one.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits theaters on May 5th, 2017.
