Confirmed: Kurt Russell in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’
It’s been confirmed: Kurt Russell is in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. While it hasn’t been confirmed who is playing, I’m going to assume that it is none other than Star-Lord’s father. Since, you know, James Gunn said he wanted the actor for that exact role.
Chris Pratt pushes play on “Awesome Mix Vol. 2” as ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ rehearsals begin
Listen, I know this really isn’t reporting much. But I’m pumped, nay!, jacked, nay!, jacked+pumped for the sequel to my favorite film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So I’m going to happily consume any flimsy pseudo-news wrapped in the franchise’s spectral form that comes my way.
Matthew McConaughey turned down ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ villain role
Well, shit. Matthew McConaughey turned down the “villain” role for Guardians for the Galaxy 2. Which, whatever that means, has me thinking he turned down the role of Star-Lord’s dad. I get it. He’s got shitty Lincoln car commercials to star in while “maintaining” his “integrity” or whatever #baselessbitterness.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ has cast Pom Klementieff in key role
I don’t know who Pom Klementieff is, but I’m down with any Guardians of the Galaxy-2-Volume-Time news.
Tyler Bates returning to score ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’
Tyler Bates did the music for Guardians of the Galaxy. You know, the music that wasn’t a part of that insanely catchy mix-tape. But all the same, he provided some good tunage in the flick. How memorable were his riffs? I mean, they weren’t up there with Redbone’s participation. But what is?
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ is the official title of ‘Guardians’ sequel
The title! Good call, fitting in thematically? Or! Bad call, milking the novelty of the mixtape to death? What do you think? ‘Cause I don’t know.
Rumor: Drax The Destroyer holding down big role in ‘Avengers 3’
I fucking love the people who Guard the Galaxy movie. And while a lot of what I love about the movie was things I expected, I never anticipated loving Drax as much as I did. So if Marvel wants to stuff him (and frankly *all* the Guardians) into Avengers 3? Yes please.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy 2’ gets release date! James Gunn writing & directing!
GoTG ain’t even hit the theaters yet, but that hasn’t stopped Marvel from planning for the sequel. The next installment in the franchise is hitting in three years, and it’ll be helmed by the same Jimmy Gunn. Provided the first movie is as fucking dope as it seems, this is all most-gnarly news.
