Ego the Living Planet

The action depicted in the trailer takes place in quite a few locations – the tree planet, Knowhere (where we meet Mantis), the Ravager prison, and the planet/place where the Abilisk fight takes place. As it was hinted in the first teaser, the tree planet might in fact be Ego the Living Planet (who we won’t see as a planet, according to James Gunn).

It’s the whole deep inside of me shot.

According to Pom Klementieff, Mantis has lived her entire life with Ego, until she finally met the Guardians of the Galaxy – thus explaining her sincerity. What role does Ego play throughout the movie? We don’t know. But I can speculate that the Guardians won’t crash-land on the sentient planet by mistake.

Which leads me again to believe that Ayesha has something to do with it, her endgame revolving around Ego. How come? I have no idea just yet.
