Will Thanos & Star-Lord's Father Appear In Guardians of the Galaxy 2? James Gunn Answers

Is the Mad Titan Thanos building up his presence to make his full debut as the main villain in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy? And what about Star-Lord's father? Will he be the Emperor of the Spartoi Empire like in the comics? Director James Gunn answers!

"There have been a lot of documents passed around about who Peter Quill’s father is between a select two or three of us," James Gunn told Empire about the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel. "That’s been part of the plan since the beginning, that’s something I had to work out before we shot the screenplay. We wanted to make sure Yondu’s place in everything made sense and it does, so it’s all very specific stuff." As for who Peter Quill's father might be, the director revealed that we can rule out J'son, aka Jason of Spartax, who is Star-Lord's father in the comics. "It’s definitely not the character who it is in the comics, I’ll say that much," Gunn assured.

Josh Brolin is set to play Thanos in multiple films, and many are assuming that the Mad Titan will be the main villain in the sequel. Gunn confirms that...no, or yes...it depends.

"He will show up [in the sequel] if he helps our story and he will not show up at all if not. Thanos is not the most important thing in Guardians 2, that’s for damn sure. There’s the Guardians themselves and other threats the Guardians are going to be facing that are not Thanos." The director continued, "I think Thanos has been lonely for a long time. He can handle it. He’s used to his loneliness. He’s got some other kids out there. He’s got to look after them. Nebula’s probably the sweetest of them, which tells you what his kids are like..."

If not Thanos, then who? If not Jason, who?
