RUMOR: The Identity of Peter Quill's Father Revealed in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
If you DO NOT want to know who Peter Quill's father is in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy, then why the hell did you click on the link to read this!?
The following information comes from Heroic Hollywood, who gets their scoops from top-notch sources that are usually right. This particular intel was confirmed by four of their sources, so there a good chance this rumor could actually be a huge SPOILER.
So are you ready for this?
Really?
You're still reading?
You better not get pissed at me after all these spoiler warnings!
Peter Quill's dad is...CAPTAIN MARVEL!
I know you're like "Wait! What!?" But hold on to your butts.
James Gunn has already denied Captain Marvel will be in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but Gunn is talking about Carol Danvers. Heroic Hollywood is talking about a different version of the character. That version is the Silver Age comic version of Captain Marvel a.k.a Mar-Vell, who was introduced in 1967 in Marvel Super-Heroes #12.
He is a Kree super-soldier sent to examine Earth's missile and advanced technologies programs to evaluate us and the possible threat we are to the Kree empire. For more information, you can watch the video that the site released.
This is the role that Matthew McConaughey may have passed on. Marvel is expected to deny the shit out of this, but the site is very confident that they are right on the money. Until we have official confirmation, we will consider this news a rumor.
It this is true, it's a pretty damn fascinating plot point and character to introduce into the MCU. Regardless of whether it's true or not, I'm still crazy excited to see how the story arc plays out for Quill and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy characters.
What do you all think about the idea of Mar-Vell being Star-Lord's pops?
