Director James Gunn has confirmed that the shooting for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has started, and has also announced some of the new faces we’ll be seeing in the sequel.
Gunn posted on Facebook: “Official photography on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has started, and I couldn’t be more stoked. My favorite movie as a small child was The Strongest Man in the World, so I’m glad to announce that, yes, Kurt Russell has joined our cast and, yes, he is more awesome a dude than I ever could have imagined. The last few days around here with him and our other new cast members, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, and Chris Sullivan, have been some of the best of my life. I never thought anyone was missing from our island of misfit toys, but now that these folks are here there feels like there was. We’ll have more surprises for you in the coming months. But, for now, this will have to do.”
Although he didn’t know much about the series at the time, Russell spoke to Gunn about a possible role in the film back in December. Russell had a very successful 2015: he starred in the billion-dollar blockbuster Furious 7, the acclaimed cannibal horror-western Bone Tomahawk, and Quentin Tarantino’s latest genre-blending thriller The Hateful Eight.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will also see returning stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Dave Bautista and Michael Rooker, and will be released in the UK on April 28, 2017, before making its way over to the States on May 5.
