If there is anything fans can expect from James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," then it's the fact that the identity of Peter Quill's (Chris Pratt) father will finally be revealed.
According to Empire, there is a huge chance that the character will be portrayed by "Furious 7" star Kurt Russell. Reports have it that Marvel and Gunn are seriously considering Russell for the role.
However, the film is still in its early stages so anything can still happen. The studio has chosen not to comment on the rumor, and Russell still hasn't received any script yet.
For the meantime, Russell can be seen next in Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight," which is due on January 8, 2016. He is also part of the Western horror flick "Bone Tomahawk," which is due out on February 19, 2016.
On the other hand, Gunn is through with providing audiences with spoilers concerning the "Guardians of the Galaxy" sequel. He has earlier said that he will refuse to answer any questions regarding the film anymore since fans might stumble upon something that is true to the film.
"All right. From this moment on I'm going to stop commenting on any rumors surrounding 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,' because, eventually, someone is going to come up with a spoiler that has some truth to it," he wrote on his Facebook page. "That said, the rumors surrounding Quill's parentage at the present moment are completely false, and aren't even close to the truth. I don't know how people come up with this stuff, but it certainly isn't through legitimate sources."
The director said that he understands the desire of some people and media entities to get "scoops" on character inclusion and casting choices, but he clarified: "Since when is a plot spoiler a 'scoop'? Is this really what fandom wants to know? Plot details in movies ahead of time?"
The director said he got into directing movies because he loves movies in general, and he strongly believes film journalists are the same way. However, spoiling plot details do not add to the enjoyment of the film-going experience, he said, so he lauded "those folks out there who don't partake in this sort of thing."
What he did confirm though was that they will deliver something new in the big screen compared to the comic books. "We do deviate quite a bit from the comics, and that's with all due respect," he said.
