Kurt Russell Will Be Star Lord’s Father?

The Wrap has reported that writer-director James Gunn is eyeing Kurt Russell for the role of Chris Pratt’s Star Lord’s father in the sequel to the 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy. The actor will soon be seen in Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, which will be released on December 25. Nothing has been made official as of yet and the actor has not met with Marvel either.

According to Empire, James stated last year, “It’s definitely not the character who it is in the comics. I’ll say that much… There have been a lot of documents passed around about who Peter Quill’s father is between a select two or three of us. 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”.

The cast for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will have Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, and Bradley Cooper returning as their original characters. The movie will be produced by Kevin Feige with Lars P. Winther serving as executive-producer. The movie is planned for a release on May 5, 2017.
