Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Synopsis Released
Marvel Studios has released the official synopsis for the upcoming, and highly anticipated, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. And while it may not be full of details, it does give an indication of what to expect:
“Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.”
The trick here is to look beyond what is said and focus on what it means. For example, this confirms that the GOTG are looking for Peter’s father, one that director James Gunn has confirmed will be a different character than we meet in the comics. Second, it’s clear that there are some struggles on the team, possibly related to their new mission.
Finally, the line, “old foes become new allies and fan-favorite character…will come to our heroes aid” is very interesting. Possibly teasing we have not heard was cast yet. The cosmic part of the MCU is very huge, so just about anyone could arrive.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Arrives in 2017.
