"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2's" prequel, "Guardians of The Galaxy" was a massive hit. Garnering acclaim on both critics and fans alike, the sequel to this movie would come as a no-brainer.
As reported by Cinema Blend, the sequel has a projected release of May 5, 2017. The aptly named "Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2" is already creating significant buzz and while Marvel Studios is known as good at keeping its secrets, important details leak every now and then.
Director James Gunn recently announced that Vin Diesel, the actor that plays Groot, is indeed returning for "Guardians Vol. 2." As fans may have recalled, the image of dancing Groot at the end credits hints a return of the character.
The director of the hit movie announced Groot's return to answer a fan's question on his latest Question & Answer session, Screen Crush has learned. The fan even made a typo and asked if the beloved character is returning for "Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3." Which caused some speculation if there is a third film underway.
According to Comic Book.com, fans are asking if the Baby Groot at the film's ending credit was indeed the real Groot or a progeny. Giving a coy response, Gunn made it unclear by stating "That's an unanswered question: Is Baby Groot, Groot?" Gunn said at the time. "Or is Baby Groot actually Groot's progeny?"
Groot will of course return along with his co-Guardians of the Galaxy including lovable thief and leader Peter Quill aka Star Lord, fierce assassin Gamora, wise-cracking tech genius Rocket Raccoon and vengeful warrior Drax The Destroyer.
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" will also see the return of Yondu, Peter Quill's de facto adoptive father and Nebula, Gamora's sister Cinema Blend has learned.
Everyone seems to be on board for the upcoming sequel which makes the fans all the more excited for this movie.
