While we still don’t know exactly how Ego will factor into Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’s plot, it sounds like the movie won’t skimp on delving into the complexities of this father/son dynamic, which will also include Peter inevitably comparing Ego to Yondu, his main father figure until now, for better or worse.
Before Peter Quill’s mother, Meredith, died, she expected that Peter’s father, whom she described as an “angel,” would come get him after she passed.
Sure enough, Ego hired Yondu and the Ravagers to fetch Peter, but Yondu opted to keep the boy as part of his crew, calling Ego a “jackass.”
Now in his mid-30s, Peter will finally meet Ego in the midst of their newest adventure.
