Now Gunn has revealed his side of the story – which is, if anything, even more interesting.
All the key cast are returning under the zany directing hand of James Gunn, with the team themselves now including Michael Rooker’s Yondu, Karen Gillan’s Nebula and Pom Klementieff’s new character Mantis.
There’s a lot of reasons to be excited for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and not all of them are just the mere presence of Baby Groot.
That’s a very lucky turn of events for both parties in fact, and one born really of convinient timing.
