To promote the DVD release of Guardians of the Galaxy, Collider spoke directly to the director James Gunn himself where he gave us an insight to the sequel. Gunn, who is also writing the sequel revealed that “I have the whole story written out. A pretty in-depth story.” Plot details are uder wraps the now but one man who is in the know is Marvel Studios head-honcho Kevin Feige. When asked about his reaction, Gunn siad that “I knew where I wanted to go with the sequel. After the movie came out, I went and sat down with Kevin [Feige], and said ‘What are we going to do?’ and I said, ‘This,” and he said, ‘Okay.’ And that was it.” Gunn has teased the possibility on new characters appearing in the sequel before although he remained, in true Marvel form, pretty hush about the subject. “Here’s the thing: We’ll meet some new characters in the next one, but I can’t…I’m not going to tell anyone who those people are. What else do we’ve got to give? I don’t want to spoil it now, two years before the movie comes out.” With the likes of Captain Marvel and The Hulk rumoured to appear, it will be interesting to see who is included. Another character, who was teased as part of The Collector's lair, Adam Warlock, could also appear in the second installment. Yet, Gunn seems unsure if we will see the character at all as he indicates that the cocoon was not a direct confirmation. “You see what’s been commonly known now as ‘Adam Warlock’s cocoon’, which is based on Adam Warlock’s cocoon, but I didn’t actually intend to be Adam Warlock for all the people who think Adam Warlock escaped the explosion. I’m not sure exactly how it’s going to happen. I do like the character of Adam Warlock, but I’m not sure that’s where he start out or if he’ll be in any of the next twelve Guardians of the Galaxy movies." One thing that sepearted Guardians of the Galaxy 2 from the other announced movies was the numbering in the title. Gunn still doesnt know if the series will follow the Iron Man route or not but he does say that he has "tried to come up with other names" and will change it if he comes up with anything better. Do you have any title suggestions? Share them below and check out the full video interview too.
 

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team--the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits--Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon; Groot, a tree-like humanoid; the deadly and enigmatic Gamora; and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand--with the galaxy's fate in the balance.

Even though I know we're getting amazing Marvel movies between now and May 5, 2017, I can't help but want this movie so much sooner!

I can't believe Collider didn't ask about song implementation. Gunn has said he doesn't want to simply repeat the form of the first film, with the mix tape, but it seems that the audience will expect a certain degree of music integration - and there's so many more classic hits to include!

Added characters will probably be:

Adam Warlock (it's pretty obvious).
Moondragon (perhaps with changed origins and backstory).
Starhawk.

Villains are more of a toss up:
Skrull?
Michael Korvac?
Starhawk (as father and villain?)
Universal Church of Truth
The Magus?

psychoticspaceraccoon- what about thanos or the black order. i would love to see the black order as the main antagonists in the next film. star lord vs corvus, proxima midnight vs gamora, drax vs supergiant, black dwarft vs groot and rocket.

@kinghulk

I think if we do see the Black Order, it'll be in the Infinity War films. I can see the first Infinity War taking place largely on Earth, with a b-plot taking place in other parts of the galaxy.

Infinity War Part 2 will be cosmic, with the final showdown.

Thanos will probably be mentioned or have a cameo in Guardians 2, but he won't matter to the central plot.

Just my thinking.

Hope someday we get Ultron as a Guardians villain. It would be cool if they did something like Annihilation Conquest. Maybe Phase 4?

Guardians of the Galaxy: Annihilation or Guardians of The Galaxy: Annihilation Conquest (That is if Ultron does get rocketed into space in Age of Ultron which Ultron could infect the Phalanx or some sort of Techno Organic race.)

I'd like to see Mantis, Adam Warlock, Cosmo, or Bug join the team.
