James Gunn, out talking up the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray release of “Guardians of the Galaxy”, says he hopes to see a few familiar faces in the sequel.
Speaking to EW, the filmmaker said most of the supporting characters from the 2014 hit will reappear in the next one.
“Yondu and Kraglin, the Ravagers. And I love Nebula. I think that she is underutilized in the film. I want to see more of her. The Collector, he’ll reappear. I don’t know if he’s gonna be in the next one. I do think his story is really compelling, and I think he’s one of those very interesting shades of gray characters.”
While one of the cocoons we see in The Collector’s place does indeed belong to Adam Warlock, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be a part of the next movie.
“There’s a cocoon that’s exactly like Adam Warlock’s. I wasn’t really thinking that much when I put that in. That was my idea to put that in there. They’re like, ‘What should we put in?” So I went in the Marvel handbook and like just picked cool things that looked neat to put into the boxes. It looked like Adam’s Warlock cocoon, so now everyone thinks he’s out of there and you know… I don’t know.”
In terms of a story, Gunn says to expect something different.
“I would say the main thing is: Don’t just copy yourself, which is what a lot of sequels do. And in some cases it works. Like James Bond movies. But James Bond is a different type of character. This is many characters. I think Guardians, at the end, is not the structure of a comic book movie, it’s not the structure of an action-adventure, it’s not the structure of a comedy. It’s the structure of a family drama. So how does that play itself out?”
