In a recent interview with Guardians of the Galaxy's Micheal Rooker told how when James Gunn added Yondu in the film he wanted him to have a Merle Dixon feel to it, "Gunn wrote the role with me [in mind], with a combination of Michael Rooker, Yondu and Merle, all mixed together, You know how Merle is. I could call you some name or do something really dumb and stupid and mean, but you still kind of like me, Yondu's the same way. I think people are going to get that. They're going to like the character, but he's not the friendliest guy." For those of you who are not familiar with the name Merle Dixon, he is a character in the Walking Dead series. He then talks about the weapon Yondu will yield in the film, "Most of the tweets are wondering if Yondu's going to have his mohawk -- the fin -- and if he's going to have the bow and arrow."

He said that he'd "do almost anything" for the franchise and he  "would not be opposed to that, Would you like to see Yondu team up with Coulson and the rest of his team? Sound off below!
From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team--the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits--Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon; Groot, a tree-like humanoid; the deadly and enigmatic Gamora; and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand--with the galaxy's fate in the balance.

It would be awkward if James Gunn added the racist personality of Michael Rooker's character from Mississippi Burning. First movie I've seen him in and boy did he play that character well, because I hated that character the moment he began to talk! Let's hope he nails it with Yondu.
