To think that if Kurt Russell hadn’t decided to watch Guardians of the Galaxy after being courted for its sequel, we might have found ourselves with–who knows what–other options for casting the pivotal role in this summer’s blockbuster comic sequel.
And while that’s an interesting prospect in and of itself, I personally don’t feel it would have been the slam dunk that should be Kurt Russell playing Chris Pratt’s father.
Considering Al Pacino was on the Guardians of the Galaxy bandwagon way before Russell hopped on, his eagerness for a role in the film might have lead to his potential casting as Ego, had Russell rejected the offer.
