Filed Under: Vol. 2

With The Hulk possibly drifting off into space at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 being a loose adaptation of Planet Hulk has been a popular rumour/theory for a while now. After all, the Green Goliath apparently can't star in his own movie, so it makes sense that he would show up somewhere like this, right? Not so according to James Gunn. The director has a great rapport with fans, so it's hard to believe he would lie to them about The Hulk showing up in the sequel, so we may have to accept that we're not going to learn his fate for a while!

Also below are responses from Gunn in regards to the soundtrack, adding human characters like Captain Marvel to the sequel, and his hopes for the main team members in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. What are you most looking forward to seeing in the sequel? Sound off below!

I will comment on it now (as I've done before) - there is zero chance you will see Hulk in GotGVol2. https://t.co/C1jNd0ZyVb

Yes, I have 12. And we are currently getting all the rights. https://t.co/oPJky4rGlG

For the time being, it's important to me that Quill is the sole human (earthling) character. https://t.co/BYt9av3rQy

Not too many, that's for sure! I want all of our characters to get MORE personal time than they did in the 1st film. https://t.co/P7TB9MsSYJ

Good. He has no place being in GOTG Vol 2.

DrKinsolving - 9/7/2015, 3:27 PM

Nice, can't wait for this, GOTG was awesome

i hope thanos is the main bad guy setting up infinity war, and that way the heroes can lose and i hope starhawk is quills dad. has anyone seen episode 1 of the animated show in that he seems to still be a spartax.

Shazam - 9/7/2015, 4:05 PM

Putting Hulk in GOTG2 would be rushing things. No love for the Hulk though....

I hope they can get the Hulk right (including the legal Universal situation).

No Adam Warlock? No Hulk?

DeusExSponge - 9/7/2015, 4:15 PM

Good, leave the Guardians alone! No crossover until Infinity War.

But dammit Gunn! Where's Richard Rider at?! Stop giving Quill the special only human in space treatment!

sKeemAn - 9/7/2015, 4:15 PM

I'm kinda glad. I want a PH movie but not so loosely adapted that it would come in the form of a GOTG movie.

AquamanIsTheBest - 9/7/2015, 4:16 PM

Please add at least Quasar and Warlock. The team needs to be bigger. There's too many cosmic characters for them to just ignore them!

blackandyellow - 9/7/2015, 4:16 PM

Give John C. Reilly a bigger role. He was the best part.

SmellofDuty - 9/7/2015, 4:16 PM

Adam Warlock isn't a human, so there's still a chance.

GhostDog - 9/7/2015, 4:18 PM

Adam warlock is technically human. He was created as the PERFECT human

KINGPEN266FBA - 9/7/2015, 4:19 PM

WELL THERE IS AWAYS NETFLIX

GhostDog - 9/7/2015, 4:19 PM

ANGELA PLEASE

SmellofDuty - 9/7/2015, 4:20 PM

@ComicsBornAndBred

Lets pretend that artificial humans don't count here. Don't crush my hopes.

GhostDog - 9/7/2015, 4:21 PM

Can we get Gamora in her armor please???!! I'd love that

GhostDog - 9/7/2015, 4:22 PM

@SmellofDuty I feel ya haha.

GhostDog - 9/7/2015, 4:24 PM

I'd love for Star Lord to wear this armor

SmellofDuty - 9/7/2015, 4:25 PM

While we are talking about new character additions, what does everybody feel now about the identity of Quinn's father?

MrMartyMarvel - 9/7/2015, 4:26 PM

Thank God, [frick] no to Hulk coming within a thousand miles of the Guardians. It's a Guardians sequel, it should focus on them, and develop them more as characters. It shouldn't be bogged down with pointless fan service like cramming in Hulk for no good reason.

KINGPEN266FBA - 9/7/2015, 4:26 PM

KINGPEN266FBA - 9/7/2015, 4:27 PM

HOWARD DUCK NEED TO BE IN THIS MOVIE

KINGPEN266FBA - 9/7/2015, 4:28 PM

MrMartyMarvel - 9/7/2015, 4:29 PM

Now that you mention it, if the pointless fan service doing the bogging down happened to be Howard the freaking Duck…well…that'd be different.

Sykamore - 9/7/2015, 4:34 PM

USE YOUR HEADS PEOPLE THE JET CRASHED IN THE BOTTOM ON OF THE OCEAN , MOST LIKELY THE HULK IS HUDDLED UP WITH THE INHUMANS RIGHT NOW , BLACK BOLT FEARING HE'LL AWAKE,. MOST LIKLY THE AGENTS OF SHIELD COME UPON HIS WAREBOUTS CONSIDERING THEY'RE DEALING WITH THE INHUMANS AS WE SPEAK WHICH HAS COULSON INFORM FURY THEN FURY PUTS THE AVNGERS ON THE TASK MOST LIKLEY
