SPOILERS: Sylvester Stallone's Role In GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 Has Been Revealed
An official cast list for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has been revealed along with character descriptions which finally reveal which comic book character Sylvester Stallone is playing...
With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 press screenings taking place tonight, the production notes for the movie have found their way online. Mostly made up of generic interviews, they don't reveal a lot, but there are two fairly major revelations (just be warned that potential spoilers follow from here).
Firstly, it sounds like we can expect some flashbacks to Star-Lord's conception as Laura Haddock will be reprising the role of Meredith Quill in the sequel. However, the bigger reveal is that Sylvester Stallone is going to be playing Stakar, a character you'll probably best know as Starhawk. He has a history with both the Ravagers and Guardians in the comic books, so it makes sense that he'll be showing up here.
Who Michael Rosenbaum is playing isn't clear, but it's possible he could be Quasar based on Starhawk's history. We'll just have to wait and see, but here are some fresh details on who Stakar is in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. It definitely sounds like he'll factor into the story in a very interesting way.
