New GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 Set Footage Teases Some Earthbound Action

Despite showcasing the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it seems our planet will be playing into the action that will unfold in the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel. Check this out!

We still don’t know who (or what) exactly Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Groot & Rocket Raccoon will be up against when they return in Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 next summer, but it appears their inevitable cosmic battle will somehow spill over to our little blue planet.

Last week, the Marvel Studios production had transformed a street in the small town of Cartersville, Georgia, into St. Charles, Missouri, which is the state where Peter Quill was born before becoming Star-Lord in the comics as well as in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Though it doesn’t appear any stars were on set, footage from Facebook’s Allison Parker Hill shows several extras fleeing from something invisible, yet strong enough to flip a few cars. This something will evidently come to be in post-production with the help of visual effects.

The fact that this scene takes place in Missouri indicates the plot will bring Star-Lord back to earth (or Terra, as the aliens called it in the first movie). And you can almost bet that meeting his mysterious father, played by Kurt Russell, will play a role in this homecoming. However, it is very possible for this scene to be a flashback of some sort.

Anyhow, below you can find some photos showing how Marvel transformed Georgia into Missouri, which includes some fake storefront signs that nod to comic book artist/creator Jack Kirby, as well as comic book writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, who wrote the 2008 “Guardians of the Galaxy” comic series that inspired the movie(s). What do you think?

Cartersville Guardians of the Galaxy shoot!

Directed and written by James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 stars Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax), Bradley Cooper (Rocket Raccoon), Vin Diesel (Groot), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Sean Gunn (Kraglin), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Elizabeth Debickiwith (Ayesha), Tommy Flanagan (Tullk), Chris Sullivan (Taserface), and Michael Rooker (Yondu) with Glenn Close (Nova Prime) and Kurt Russell. And with principal photography well underway in Atlanta, Georgia, Volume 2 is set for release on May 5, 2017.

I wonder if Stark will show up at the end to liaise.

All I want is a Marvel movie without Earth bound shhit. Thor was enough of a torture. Please never give us that crap of Jane Thor. Think up new characters Marvel. I sware their decisions to have the same characters hold the same mantle yet with a slight difference is a sign of them lacking creativity. Create new characters and not just new mantles to uphold.

Let me rephrase that. MCU don't follow in the MC current footsteps. MCU just follow the Prime Marvel Universe moments and you will continue your greatness. :)

@ShagMeRotten - I personal like Jane Thor and I want a little bit more interaction with the Guardians and Earth

Matador - 4/30/2016, 8:01 AM

@ShagMeRotten - Oh come on you were such a big fan of the hairy loin cloth when he was on Earth.

Chubster654 - 4/30/2016, 12:35 AM

I hope they don't spend too much time on Earth. Keep it in space. We already have enough going on in Earth. Still super excited though. 👌

@Chubster654 - probably a flashback to when his father was on earth and why he left and/or got stuck here in the first place

Demongod20 - 4/30/2016, 8:09 AM

@Chubster654 - If it fits the story then i'm fine with it just as long as they don't over stay there welcome. I think we all were expecting him to at least visit home after eventually. I hope its powerful and emotional and not just play off as joke. Gunn has been good with balancing the serious enotional stuff GOTG without undermining it with the funny stuff.

RDJ needs more work

Demongod20 - 4/30/2016, 7:53 AM

@pepe - He got to get up there some how. :P
