James Gunn On Star-Lord Discovering That A Freakin' Planet Is His Father In GOTG Vol. 2
Director James Gunn teases how Star-Lord will first react to learning that Ego the Living Planet is his father in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, as his parentage will be a key element.
In a new report on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, USA Today got the scoop from director/writer James Gunn that Peter Quill's parentage will be at the forefront of the sequel. When Star-Lord eventually learns that his father is Ego the Living Planet (played by Kurt Russell), his reaction will be about what you would expect from the narcissistic hero.
"It runs the gamut of emotions for him, wanting to understand why his father wasn’t around to quickly idolizing him and ultimately learning the reality of the relationship and comparing the man who sired him to the man who raised him."
It seems that Yondu may have a bit of jealousy concerning his adoptive son growing closer to his biological father. However, when the casting call for the role was first circulating during the early stage's of the film, the role of Ego the Living Planet was designated the villain of the pic. With Elizabeth Debicki's Ayesha, Karen Gillan's Nebula and Chris Sullivan's Taserface it will be interesting to see if that's actually the case and whether any upcoming trailers and set reports will clearly establish one of these characters as the primary antagonist.
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.
