New Plot Descriptions Released for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 and DOCTOR STRANGE
Marvel will be bringing both Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Doctor Strange to San Diego Comic-Con this year, and I can’t wait to see what they are going to show off! As we wait to see what they have in store, we have new plot descriptions for both of the films thanks to Stitch Kingdom.
The synopsis for James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is pretty vague, but it’s not like they are going to give us the full story and spoil the fun! One of the main plot points that the film will focus on is Peter Quill’s true parentage and his mysterious father. It also teases old villains becoming new allies and “fan-favorite characters” from classic comics showing up! Here’s the synopsis, so let the speculation begin on who those other fan-favorite characters could be!
“Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.”
The new synopsis for Scott Derrickson’s Doctor Strange doesn’t give us much more information that we didn’t already know, but it teases that his powers will be used to protect the Marvel cinematic universe.
“Marvel’s Doctor Strange follows the story of the talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a tragic car accident, must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions. Based in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilizing a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the Marvel cinematic universe.”
The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 cast includes the return of Chris Pratt as Peter Quill, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Sean Gunn as Kraglin, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Elizabeth Debicki, Chris Sullivan, and Kurt Russell. It's set to be released on May 5th, 2017.
Doctor Strange stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo, Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One, Benedict Wong as Wong, Rachel McAdams, Michael Stuhlbarg, Scott Adkins, Amy Landecker, and Mads Mikkelsen. The film is set to hit theaters on Friday, November 4th, 2016.
