The Guardians of the Galaxy are back baby! After the wild success of James Gunn‘s first outing with the band of misfits, Gunn took to social media this morning to announce that principal photography has properly begun on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. While that might be big news, there was actually a big confirmation on a new cast member that has long been rumored to be involved with the project.

This morning via Facebook, director/writer James Gunn shared an image of what seems to be a finished screenplay for the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2.

In the photo posted he also tags the cast of the movie: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Sean Gunn, Michael Rooker, and Dave Bautista. Bradley Cooper was missed but that is most likely because he doesn’t have a social media presence on Facebook apparently. Meanwhile, Gunn says the script is on the way to the cast.

You can see the image below.

David Bowie tragically passed last night at the age of 69 after a long battle with cancer. We have already shared our thoughts on the legend, musician, and actor. Those who were influenced by his work have also shared their thoughts on Bowie’s passing giving their own tributes.

James Gunn, whose Guardians Of The Galaxy soundtrack most appropriately featured Bowie’s “Moonage Daydream” from the classic The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars album, shared his own thoughts about how the artist’s work helped shaped his career as a storyteller, and he also revealed that there were discussions about possibly having Bowie cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. More on the story below.

Everyone has been wondering since seeing Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy who might play Star-Lord’s (played by Chris Pratt) father in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Nothing is official yet, but it’s being reported that Kurt Russell, the man behind Snake Plissken (Escape from New York), R.J. MacReady (The Thing), Jack Burton (Big Trouble in Little China), Wyatt Earp (Tombstone), Col. Jonathan ‘Jack’ O’Neil (Stargate), Stuntman Mike (Death Proof), and many others, has entered into early talks for the role.

If there is anyone who is just as tired about wild rumors about sequels it’s Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn. Of course since the film is still in very early development, and expected to start shooting early next year for a May 2017 release, rumors are flying about which characters are in it, the plot, and as of now who Star-Lord’s father is.

Some would say that Gunn is obligated to say that the rumors are false, but for the most part, he has no real reason to lie to us. Case in point, when many thought that the Hulk would be in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Gunn shot that rumor down. In fact he had to do it multiple times. But it was when Mark Ruffalo signed on to be in Thor: Ragnarok that pretty much confirmed that the Hulk would not be visiting those a-holes. Gunn recently had to shoot down another rumor that Thanos was not Star-Lord’s father, but that was only because Bradley Cooper misspoke – according to Gunn, Cooper didn’t even receive the script at that time. Now another wild rumor is starting to fly, and Gunn, once again, has to shoot it down. In fact it sounds like he is getting tired of it. Check out what he had to say below.
