Sylvester Stallone had a small, but memorable role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 as Stakar Ogord/Starhawk, before returning right at the end of the movie with some of the other original Guardians.
Fans have been wondering if we'd ever see any of these characters again in the MCU, and Stallone recently took to Instagram to confirm that he will indeed reprise the role for the currently shooting GOTG Vol. 3. Now, the legendary Rocky star has followed-up with a behind-the-scenes photo of himself in-costume as Starhawk.
The outfit appears to be quite similar to the one Stallone donned in the previous movie, with a few minor upgrades.
It remains to be seen if Michael Rosenbaum (Martinex), Michelle Yeoh (Aleta Ogord), Ving Rhames (Charlie-27), and Miley Cyrus (Mainframe) will be joining him in the MCU threequel, but it would seem like a massive waste not to bring the entire team back.
James Gunn will once again direct, with Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Dave Bautista (Drax), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Sean Gunn (Rocket/Kraglin), Karen Gillan (Nebula) set to return. Will Poulter will play Adam Warlock, and Peacemaker actor Chukwudi Iwuji is also on board in an undisclosed role.
Story details are still under wraps, but we do know that Gamora will be a big part of the movie, and it sounds like her relationship with Nebula is going to be the main focus.
We're sure the filmmaker will share more details soon, but for now, all we know for certain is that the core team will return for more intergalactic adventures, and there's a pretty good chance not all of 'em will make it to the end credits!
