GotG2 director / writer James Gunn has been doing a great job keeping fans updated with all sorts of info about his upcoming cinematic venture.

He was the one who confirmed Nebula will return for GotG2, but also pointed out we won't be seeing Ronan in the keenly awaited sequel.

Now, with a plot yet to be revealed, we can all wonder what will come down in GotG2. Gunn hinted at introducing a new guardian, but no word about the central villain of the sequel.

And those of you who've been hoping to see Kang the Conqueror or the Shi'ar Empire on screen, well, you can take that off your chest: they won't appear in GotG2, as Gunn would have us believe.
