Some rumored characters will not be added

And we should start with the Hulk. “They will not team up with Hulk”, says Gunn. And that surely scratches GotG2 of the list of possible movies the Green Goliath might appear next.

However, that’s not all. Bad news keeps pouring: “There are no characters owned by Fox (like the Thing) in the movie”, as James Gunn reveals.

So if you thought of a spectacular cameo in GotG2, you can now rest assured this is not going to happen if it concerns characters that Marvel has no rights on.

Also, keep in mind “[…] we actually have less characters in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 than we have in Guardians of the Galaxy 1 because everything is just getting too sprawling and too crazy for me in these superhero comic book movies”. All that in spite of the fact a new Guardian will be added.
