New characters will be added

And that is also a relief. It's on this occasion that Gunn finally revealed "“ but did he? "“ who's the newly introduced Guardian. We previously took our shot here, but it seems James Gunn thought of someone else.

"Thanoscopter is the new Guardian". But is he joking? I surely think so. The guys at Movie Pilot seem to be certain the director is pulling our leg. What say you?

What is, however, solid, is GotG2 will reveal Peter Quill's father. And Gunn puts it clearly: "We will see Star-Lord’s father in this movie".

As to his identity, it won't pull from the comics, as Gunn previously announced. What we can state is despite the fact we don't know who he is, we also know who he is not.

So, no J’son of Spartax to play the father figure for Peter Quill. Gunn's explanation for distorting the book: "Yeah, he’s unappealing to me. First of all, his name is J’son".

Also, Gunn has no idea "“ or he pretends "“ about who is going to portray the yet to be revealed father of Star Lord. But could Al Pacino grab the role, as we previously speculated, and mostly given to the fact Gunn himself confessed Al Pacino is the one actor he'd like most to work with?

Well, read what you will into this, but I'm not ready to dismiss this theory until proven wrong. However, that doesn't put an end to the character talk.
