Before adding, “If we lived in a ideal world, I wouldn’t tell you ANYTHING before you walked in to see Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2”.

After debuting the first footage of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at SDCC to rapturous reception, James Gunn admits that he nearly left out the element that already looks like the best part of the movie: Baby Groot.
Ok, so Marvel confirmed at the panel that Kurt Russell would be playing Star-Lord’s father. Now, some consider the reveal of Russell’s character and his parental connection to Peter Quill aka Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) to be too much of a spoiler.
Personally, I don’t mind the reveal because now we don’t have to focus on who exactly Star-Lord’s father is, but other questions surrounding the character: How did Ego achieve human form? “He’s a great and key supporting actor”. “I’m not sure if that’s what I want to do or if that’s not what I want to do”. And, as we will discover, being a cosmic being, alone for eons, is perhaps even more lonely than being the universe’s sole talking raccoon,”Gunn said”. “I thought, ‘Well, wait a second. We have both pushed ourselves as far as we can go in making him real, and grounded, and emotionally centered”.
“It was a big thing for me”, James told Collider of the decision to include Baby Groot.
For Guardians of the Galaxy fans, it seemed to be the announcement heard around the world. The fin was actually a major part of the scene that Marvel debuted at Comic Con as the Ravagers captured Yondu and Rocket Raccoon while they were trying to retrieve that piece of weaponry from the ship. “But yeah, so at the end of the movie, little baby Groot didn’t want to get caught dancing, because he would kill him”.
Played by Elizabeth Debicki, Ayesha is “the golden High Priestess of a genetically-perfect people called the Sovereign”. It’s a fairly obvious and not-at-all surprising choice, but if you’ve been hoping we’d see the first trailer before November, then Feige just gave you permission to stop holding your breath.
In a bid to stop plot speculations, the director has divulged a lot of information about the prime characters in the upcoming Marvel movie.
The film sees Gunn back in the director’s chair for the first time since the success of Guardians of the Galaxy back in 2014.

Now James Gunn has taken to Facebook to explain why they announced the news, and also why the revelation is not that big of a spoiler.
