The casting of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has been underway. While curiosity is on who will play this mystery man that is Star-Lord’s father, many are quick to attach Kurt Russell to the role. The two mysteries for the upcoming Marvel sequel are: who is Star-Lord’s father, and will Kurt Russell be playing him?
Volume One left us with Yondu (Michael Rooker) and his crew knowing the man who gave DNA to Peter Quill. Though, director/writer James Gunn says that he won’t be his father from the comics: J’Son of Spartax.
Well, we don’t know who his father is yet, but we might know who Kurt Russell will be playing. An unnamed source close to the situation has brought this to our attention:
(Kurt) Russell has been tapped to play the legendary hero, Adam Warlock, and his evil twin, Magus. Marvel felt that his talent as a veteran actor would fit into the cosmic character.
Whether or not Warlock will be Star-Lord’s father is still be a mystery. However, it’s great to know that his presence will be available for the Infinity War against Thanos, as he was a major player of such in the comics.
Before you pass this rumor off as BS, remember that Marvel has been known to throw us some curve balls. And after all, the little information we got on Star-Lord’s dad from the first installment was that he was part of a lone, unknown race.
What do you make of this? Will Kurt Russell actually be playing Adam Warlock? Further more, will Warlock be Star-Lord’s dad in the MCU? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
