Spoilery New Plot Details for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2
Other that what we've seen in the trailer for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and a few bits of plot information that have been revealed here and there, we don't really know much about the story of the film. If you'd like to keep it that way, then I suggest you stop reading now!
Screen Geek claims to have come across some new rumored plot points for the story, and if they turn out to be true, there are some big spoilers that you might not want to know about. Yes, these are just rumors for now, rumors that I'm sure director James Gunn will debunk if they aren't true. Just in case, though...
Here are the plot points that the site lays out for us:
Ego is made out to be the main villain at first, but it is actually Ayesha, although Ego is also an antagonist. Taserface serves as a secondary foe.
Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone are playing members of the Ancients, a race of immortal aliens who hire the Guardians of the Galaxy to stop Ego, as part of a bigger plan masterminded by Ayesha.
Yondu and Nebula are joining the team alongside Mantis, who is Star-Lord’s half-sister and a prisoner of Ego.
The Nova Corps will make an appearance and the Kree will also have a larger role.
Groot will remain child-sized for a large portion of the movie.
There’s a minor romantic subplot between Star-Lord and Gamora following the seeds planted in the first movie.
Thanos won’t appear in the movie, but will be referenced.
There’ll be no infinity stones, although they are referenced.
The movie ending leads directly to Avengers: Infinity War.
There are plans for a sequel, but James Gunn still isn’t officially attached to write and direct, although Marvel wants him to direct.
A few of these have already been confirmed by Gunn, such as Thanos not appearing in the film, and it was pretty obvious that Groot will remain baby/toddler Groot for most, if not all of the film. Any thought on these plot details that have been revealed?
The movie stars Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, Sean Gunn as Kraglin, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Elizabeth Debicki, and Chris Sullivan.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will be released on May 5, 2017
