Comedian joins Guardians of the Galaxy 2

Comedian Steve Agee is said to be joining “Guardians of the Galaxy 2”.

The casting tidbit was revealed on the Doug Loves Movies podcast (via IGN) who reportedly said “[Steve] just found out because he’s in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, he has to shoot that bulls–t instead of being here with us today.”

Agee (“The Sarah Silverman Program”) is a bud of director James Gunn’s, so not really a surprise the filmmaker’s found a way to weave the talented Mr Agee into the new StarLord jaunt.

“Guardians of the Galaxy 2” is shooting next week for a 2017 release – as Chris Pratt reminded us this week…

Feels good to be back in action on Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2!!! I can't even tell you how excited I am. Ok I'll try. I'm ecstatic. I'm bursting with joy. I'm overwhelmed by feelings of enthusiasm, joy, gratitude, conviviality, camaraderie, elation, exhilaration. I just used an online thesaurus for these words. I suggest trying that. That way instead of saying "I'm very excited" say, "I'm exhilarated." Never too late to learn words. The pen is mightier than the sword. I never got that. I could whoop someone's ass if I had a sword and they only had a pen. WAIT!!! Now I get it. Cause you could use a giant pen with a dagger on one end? And a gun on the other end? No? Whatever. Point is… Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Is going to be the greatest spectacle film of all time. This is not…. bear with me… using online thesaurus….. Hyperbole! This is not hyperbole!
