Confirman elenco de Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

James Gunn es sin duda uno de mis creativos favoritos, no solo por su trabajo sino por lo bien que maneja sus cuentas sociales. Hoy lo vuelve a demostrar al compartir la primera foto oficial de Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 mientras confirmaba el elenco, tanto los que regresan como los que se unen.

Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki y Chris Sullivan son los nuevos miembros del elenco pero, la verdadera noticia es que Kurt Russell aceptó unirse al filme. Según el comunicado, el tema de la secuela será investigar la verdadera parentela de “Star-Lord” (Chris Pratt), y no se necesita un genio para juntar esos dos aspectos. Claro, siempre puede resultar en una sorpresa pero, sabiendo que Gunn ya confirmó que el padre de Star-Lord no es el mismo de los comics, no se me ocurre una mejor idea que Russell lo sea.

Sinopsis: Ocurriendo en el nuevo contexto sonoro de Awesome Mixtape # 2, “Guardianes de la Galaxia vol. 2 “sigue las aventuras del equipo, desentrañando el misterio de la verdadera parentela de Peter Quill.
