Will GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 Feature An Appearance From This Marvel Comics Superhero?

It appears as if Amazon may have spilled the beans on a surprise appearance from a certain Marvel Comics superhero in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but will we see him in tomorrow's new trailer?

Amazon has a new storefront up for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and it gives fans the ability to search for character specific merchandise. That in itself is not big news, but io9 has spotted the inclusion of obscure Marvel superhero Darkhawk! We all know stuff like this is notoriously unreliable, but the site makes some very interesting points about his inclusion here. 

For starters, when there's only one piece of Darkhawk merchandise coming out in the near future (a Marvel Legends action figure), why would he be prioritised over a character like Nebula? 

Also, bear in mind that it was around a year ago that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn teased the fact that his favourite Marvel superhero would be making an appearance in the sequel and new addition Mantis had already been confirmed by then. Could it have been Darkhawk that the filmmaker was referring to? We're going to have to wait and see! 

For those of you unfamiliar with the hero, Chris Powell discovered an amulet allowing him to don the alien armour of Darkhawk. Belonging to an ancient sect of
Shi'ar assassins known as the Fraternity of Raptors, it provides immense protective and fighting power to its wearer along with access to its Datasong which grants the ability to access memories and possible future outcomes of events.

Sounds like the perfect person to warn the Guardians about a certain Infinity War, don't you think?

Cool if true. I just read some New Warriors with Darkhawk in them.

90s heroes need to make a comeback!

They are doing 2 waves of Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends. Wave 2 has Nebula and Mantis. Every wave of movie figures from Marvel Legends is almost guaranteed to have a couple comics characters as well.

DarkHawk! Damn I know nothing about him but Marvel Trading cards back in the day seared his name into my head. Looks like a cool character, wonder if they will make him look like a mix of Falcon and a Storm Trooper.

Considering what Gunn did to the Nova Corps, I expect Darkhawk is just a cheesy name for Stallone's Nova Corps character with no powers or special suit.
