Anyone else get spoiled on who Star Lord's father is because of a headline?

Yep. They've not been subtle about it when reporting

would almost have to be bad AIDS wouldn't it. If he were more like a pine tree I could make a terrible joke about sharing needles.

With Ego the Living Planet in this, Galactus might not be far behind.

Only if Marvel Studios can get the rights to Fantastic Four from Fox.

I'm hoping that will happen for Marvel's Phase IV.

As for Vol. 2, man, I wish we got to see the footage released in Hall H and get some flavor for the film as well as maybe some of the sound track.

Some have speculated that Guardians of the Galaxy will be a trilogy, which I'll love to see, especially with the possibilities of some other earthly characters could cross over into that film, or even an Asguardian. I also would love for Angela to be introduced here.

Feige has suggested Guardians 3 is likely for Phase 4.

So apparently Kurt Russell is playing Ego. Yes, that Ego. I love that this is a real thing.

James Gunn Responds To Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Comic-Con Spoiler Complaints

Apparently some fans are upset that James Gunn and Marvel announced the news as they consider it a big spoiler.

Now James Gunn has taken to Facebook to explain why they announced the news, and also why the revelation is not that big of a spoiler.

For comparison, the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 story is not like Empire Strikes Back with Darth Vader telling Luke Skywalker, "I am your father," it's that - per Gunn's words below - "Ego [is] the emotional center" of the film. Gunn previously said in a video posted to Facebook that Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is more about family, how Ego felt lonely, etc.

Gunn also says that Kurt Russell/Ego is a big part of the movie, so it would be near impossible to not reveal the role.

Personally, I don't mind the reveal because now we don't have to focus on who exactly Star-Lord's father is, but other questions surrounding the character: How did Ego achieve human form? Why did Ego achieve human form? How will Star-Lord (and the rest of the Guardians) react to the news? Is Ego even a good guy? Does Ego have powers (in human form)? Could someone or something be after Ego because of something he did as the Livng Planet, and now that he is in human form, he's more vulnerable? Does Ego even have a planet form?

You can read what Gunn had to say below.

Via Facebook:

WHY THE IDENTITY OF STAR-LORD'S FATHER ISN'T A SPOILER.

Don't read any further if you don't want to know who he is.

Also you might want to stay off the internet until May and definitely unfollow me and don't watch our trailers or other ads...

Anyway, people have been particularly excited, confused, and supportive of keeping Marvel Cosmic truly cosmic with the reveal of Peter Quill's father's identity. However, there have been a minority of folks who have questioned, and even been angry, that I and Marvel would reveal something so major months before the film comes out.

I get it. If we lived in a perfect world, I wouldn't tell you ANYTHING before you walked in to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. I wouldn't tell you Groot was now Baby Groot, I wouldn't tell you Mantis was in the movie, I wouldn't say that Ayesha and Taserface are our antagonists, that Yondu and Nebula have incredibly important roles in the film, nor would I tell you that Quill's father is Ego the Living Planet.

However, the world is imperfect.

Firstly, we have to advertise our film. And it will be impossible to show you very much of Vol. 2 since Ego is very much a part of all of it. We just don't have a way around it.

Secondly, there are journalists online who love giving you scoops about characters and plot twists in upcoming films. Ego is such a big part of the movie, this was going to come out soon, as much as we've tried to hide it (when our online press day happened on set, Kurt Russell sat in a chair that read "J'son," and all of our script pages and artwork featuring him used the same name). Frankly, I would rather be in control of the announcement myself than have it come out on SpoilersRUs.com in a few weeks.

That said, knowing who Quill's father is will not diminish your enjoyment of the film in any way. The story is not built to be a shocking twist in the same way Luke's father was Darth, Soylent Green was people, Rosebud was a sled, or that that pretty woman from Crying Game had a penis (I guess I should have said spoilers before all that). Ego the emotional center of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 from the beginning to the end, and is not a twist.

And believe me - there are many, many more surprises we still have in store for you from Vol. 2 - hopefully the biggest of which is how much you'll love the movie itself. Because, to me, that's the only twist that matters.

From Gunn's FB reveal of the poster:

User Comment: "Kind of looks like they are waiting in line to get into CBGB's"
Gunn: "Thanks. That was exactly the idea. I wanted to do something different."
Me: "It's a comic film, so maybe it's CGC(G)'s?"

One minute they're this little cute thing, driving up merchandise sales, and the next they've spontaneously grown up to provide great/amusing visuals for a big set piece.
