Michael Rooker Seemingly Confirms Himself For AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
Well, count all of the Guardians in for Avengers: Infinity War as Yondu actor Michael Rooker has seemingly confirmed himself for a return in the currently filming blockbuster. Come check it out!
Earlier this afternoon, actor Michael Rooker posted an Instagram snapshot of himself getting some coffee at a local Starbucks in Peachtree City, Georgia and he was sporting a brand new Infinity War beanie. Now, while he makes no mention of the hat in his post, it's probably a safe bet that this is our first official confirmation that Rooker will reprise his role as Yondu in Avengers: Infinity War and its untitled 2019 sequel.
Rooker's inclusion means all eight Guardians from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will return for the epic battle against Thanos, which will see the intergalactic heroes team-up with Earth's Mightiest Heroes. This also likely means all eight members of the team will survive their upcoming encounter with Ego, the Living Planet, which should be good news for fans everywhere.

So, what do you guys think? Excited? Sound off with your thoughts below!
How big of a threat does Thanos pose, you ask? Big enough to span two epic films, beginning with Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War Part 1” on May 4, 2018, and concluding in Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War Part 2” on May 3, 2019 for one massive cinematic event.
“We’ve always had a plan since Nick Fury broke into Tony Stark’s house and told him he’s part of a bigger universe," recalled Feige. "'Avengers: Infinity War Part 1' is the beginning of the culmination of everything that has come before."
