Did Marvel's Chief Executive Kevin Feige unintentionally spill the beans on the title to last year's "Guardians of the Galaxy" sequel?
That remains to be the case when he spoke to Steve "Frosty" Weintraub, Collider's managing editor, during the press conference for Marvel's forthcoming film "Ant-Man." While discussing the film's schedule, Feige gave the impression of revealing the title for the second "Guardians of the Galaxy" movie.
Feige declared, "We start shooting 'Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2' in February-March 2016." The sequel is slated to come out May 5, 2017.
Collider's editor-in-chief later verified Marvel's big boss. Feirge, seemingly realizing his blunder, denied to issue a clarification. The writers from the web-enabled publication thought otherwise as they have keen memories and distinctly remember that "Peter Quill's Awesome Mix Vol. 1" is the title of the popular mix tape possessed by Star-Lord portrayed by actor Chris Pratt, as stated in a report from Christian Today.
James Gunn, who directed "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Ant-Man", finally admitted via Twitter that "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is indeed the official title of the sequel. He also wrote about the accidental slip in his Facebook page stating, "Kevin Feige recently let the title slip while doing the 'Ant-Man' press, which I'm really happy about because God knows I've let more than one thing slip accidentally while chattering away on this FB page. Also, hats off to some intrepid fans who figured out the title a couple of days after I posted the cover page. More than one person guessed 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2′ — I wanted so badly to give you props at the time, but knew I had to wait."
According to Vine Report, the director also corroborated that the film's second installment will have a few changes regarding character development and plot. The movie is set to delve more on Peter Quill's origins, the characters' internal struggles and more on the emotions as the movie will be themed around fathers.
Meanwhile, Paste Magazine revealed, Gunn went gaga over "Ant-Man's" premiere, where he watched the film and left the movie house incredibly ecstatic.
"Honestly, the movie is a complete blast!" Gunn gushed. "I was so happy after seeing it. It's never boring for a second and it's hilarious and warm throughout."
"The Avengers" director Joss Whedon, another Marvel alum, also raved about the film's script back in April saying, "I thought [it] was not only the best script that Marvel had ever had, but the most Marvel script I'd read."
