Zoe Saldana stars alongside Chris Pratt (Peter Quill, Star Lord), Vin Diesel (Groot), Dave Bautista (Drax the Destroyer) and Bradley Cooper (Rocket) who are all returning for the second installment to reprise their roles. All coming back are Karen Gillan (Nebula) and Michael Rooker (Yondu Udonta).
Directed by James Gunn, the first film adaptation of "Guardians of the Galaxy" comic book was a surprise box office hit when it was released in August 2014. It generated more than $94 million on opening weekend and grossed more than $333 million in the U.S. Its gross worldwide was more than $774 million.
Gunn is likewise returning to direct the sci-fi film which is expected to be released on May 5, 2017.
Meanwhile, Gunn took to Facebook to slam the rumors surrounding Quill's parentage, saying that they "are completely false, and aren't even close to the truth. I don't know how people come up with this stuff, but it certainly isn't through legitimate sources."
He added, "I get the desire to get "scoops" on character inclusion and casting choices, etc. But since when is a plot spoiler a "scoop"? Is this really what fandom wants to know? Plot details in movies ahead of time?"
"But, as I said, eventually someone will actually spoil some detail of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. So this will be my last comment squelching a rumor until May 2017," he further said. "We're creating a film that doesn't rely on plot twists to be an enjoyable experience. They're only a very small part of what we're cooking up for you."
