Several Major Cameos Were Just Confirmed For Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Near the end of the movie, new characters played by Ving Rhames and Michelle Yeoh appear. The credits (as well as James Gunn at the press conference) confirm they play Charlie-27 and Aleta Ogord, two ravager leaders in the film. Exactly why they appear is STILL too big of a spoiler to share, but in one of the five end-credits scenes, they meet up with Stakar, played by Sylvester Stallone, and two other aliens: Krugar and Mainframe. The five characters vow to get back together and steal some shit.

Yes, this is an on-screen reunion, with a few tweaks, of some of the original Guardians of the Galaxy team members. Stakar (a.k.a. Starhawk) Charlie-27, and Starhawk’s wife Aleta were all characters who, alongside Yondu, Major Vance Astro, Martinex, and Nikki Gold, formed the basis of the original Guardians team in the comics. Unlike the later team brought together in Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning’s 2008 Guardians book and popularized by James Gunn’s first movie, the original team operated in the 31st century and had little in the way of major connections with the “modern” team.

Somewhere, Thanos is behind all of this.

 

[Toki767]

Who?

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Five end credit scenes?

 

[Viewt]

That article isn't totally true - Major Vance Astro stuck around for quite a while during DnA's run.

Spoiler

Fun fact from the @JamesGunn @Kevfeige interview happening now! @MileyCyrus is the voice of Mainframe. #GotGVol2Event #GotGVol2

I heard she had something in this

Five end credit scenes?

technically the whole film is a post-credit scene to GotG1

Nice job spoilering a link which opens a different app when using mobile.

That sounds like a user problem. I don't encounter that behavior on mobile.

 

[kunonabi]

So I'm getting Sylvester Stallone and Michelle Yeoh in a Marvel movie? I don't even know what to say anymore.

 

[jetsetrez]

I have no idea who any of these people are.

Say thank you.

I have no idea who any of these people are.

This is exciting for the three and half of us who do, though.

 

[Alienous]

That's sort of cool.

Expendables of the Galaxy, then?

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Say thank you.

And in before Slayven masturbating to them bringing the old team in.

Happened to me too. It was bort's link

 

[enzo_gt]

Okay Guardians 3 is going to be dope as fuck.

This is exciting if they are close to the future Guardians, but I'd still rather them focus on UCT/Cancerverse stuff.

 

[Stinkles]

Say thank you.

Beaten like starlord's glittering gauntlet

This was one of the first comics I ever bought. Stared at it in the book store window for a week, cashed in glass recycling to buy it. Was not disappointed.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Stallone is kinda cool

 

[Stinkles]

Stallone is kinda cool

And Tango.

ALL WE NEED IS ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

ALL WE NEED HIM

OH MY GOD

 

[PsychBat!]

That article isn't totally true - Major Vance Astro stuck around for quite a while during DnA's run.

fuck yeeessssss

also mah boi Starhawk!!

this is fucking yeeeeasssssshhh

 

[Fades]

So who's Michael Rosenbaum playing? Krugar? Since Gunn said that his character and Stallone's shared their scenes.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Woah.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Glad to see that Stallone's role finally been revealed. Also Yeoh, wow, didn't see her casting coming, I doubt anyone did though.

 

[Callibretto]

ALL WE NEED IS ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

ALL WE NEED HIM

OH MY GOD

Arnold as Vance Astro complete with the shield?

btw, why does Vance have Cap shield? I think I remember reading he's from the future or something. is he related with Steve Rogers?

 

[Lord Fagan]

...but in one of the five end-credits scenes...

Wait, I'm sorry, what?!!!

 

[Cuburt]

Wasn't

Spoiler

Sharon Stone

supposed to be playing a role? I remember people speculating that she'd be an original Guardian like Sly when they heard she was in the film.

It's kind of fun that the cameos will be a bigger spoiler for most people than who they are supposed to be. I saw

Spoiler

David Hasselhoff

being interviewed at the premiere and while he couldn't spill the beans on how he was involved in the film, just the fact that he's in there will be the surprise.

I mean, I kind of don't care about spoiling stuff like this for myself so much, but I think it will be fun seeing others' reactions opening night.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

I was expecting something major, not some characters almost everyone in this thread googled.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

They got Sly in a Marvel movie and he plays one of the most obscure characters in the comics. I love that.

 

[The Kree]

I was expecting something major, not some characters almost everyone in this thread googled.

It's not the characters that are major, it's the people playing them.

 

[shintoki]

 

[Inceptional]

This makes sense of Gunn's recent comments about the third film being it for this iteration of the team. Will be cool to see how they switch it up.

 

[Slayven]

My nipples can cut adamantnium

 

[rrc1594]

Ving Rhames is still acting?

 

[The Kree]

They need to cast Vance Astro already. Stop bullshitting.

 

[Slayven]

[Kaizer]

My nipples can cut adamantnium

lol

 

[Sir Doom]

Oh shit
Now I'm hype.

I'm still betting these scenes are flashes for the incoming Thanos

 

[Cuburt]

It seems like if they put in Vance Astro, they'll have to give him Cap's shield at some point, right?

 

[Electric Eye]

Wait Ving Rhames is still alive? I thought he died a few years back.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Holy crap. So Vol. 3 has to be the Guardians running into the OG Guardians.

 

[kunonabi]

.

Too bad George Lopez isn't super buff.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Took you long enough to show up. Was figuring your erection was too big to see around so you had to wait for it to die down before you could type.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

My bet is GoTG3 is the two team set against each other.

 

[L4DANathan]

Love Ving Rhames, happy to see him in the MCU.

 

[Slayven]

Wait Ving Rhames is still alive? I thought he died a few years back.

You are thinking of Micheal Clark Duncan

This is true

 

[Stinkles]

This is true

I think you mean Laurence Fishburne.

[Secret Character]

This is pretty much going to confirm one of my biggest hopes for this movie.

Yondu: "I'm gettin' the gang back together."

Also, I'm fairly certain that Michael Rosenbaum will be playing Martinex then.

Can't wait!

 

[Matty77]

Wonder how they are going to fit Mainframe into the MCU considering in the original guardians

Spoiler

Mainframe was a 31'st century computer world that evolved out of what used to be The Vision.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

EVERYONE is a MCU character!
