James Gunn Teases Star-Lord’s Dad in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 Thumbnail Sketch
Director James Gunn has released a simple piece of thumbnail storyboard art from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. This piece teases Star-Lord’s dad. He’s obviously not going to tell us who it is, but he doesn't care if you try to figure it out. The art above came with the following caption:
I don’t think you’ll ever guess what this one is, at least not until the film comes out (but I know that won't stop you from trying).
The art has a quote from Star-Lord saying, "My mom always said my dad was from the stars." There are three individuals standing by a pod of some sort that looks like it is surrounded by some kind of energy field? All we can really do it speculate, but I don’t think we can figure out who Star-Lord’s dad is from it. Maybe the pod crash-landed.
I will tell you that I think Star-Lord’s dad will end up being Starfox, who is an Eternal and Thanos’ younger brother. The guy is a ladies man and takes his name and inspiration from the Greek God of love, Eros, which is a name he also goes by. I think he and Star-Lord have some of the same personality traits as well. Starfox is described as a "a fun-loving, carefree womanizer and adventurer.” He could have easily visited earth and knocked up Peter’s mom at some point. Here is some information on his powers:
Starfox possess various superhuman attributes derived from his Eternal physiology. All Eternals have the ability to manipulate cosmic energies for a number of purposes. This energy is housed within the cells of their bodies and can be used to purposely augment their physical, mental and energy manipulative abilities. While all Eternals have at least some degree of these abilities, it takes centuries of intensive and disciplined training to manipulate these energies to their maximum potential. Titanian Eternals have the potential to manipulate cosmic energies in various ways, but Starfox himself has never undertaken the discipline of learning how.
Do you have any theories on who Star-Lord’s dad could be?
