In late November last year, James Gunn took to his Facebook page to announce that he was no longer going to comment on any rumours concerning Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, of which there have been many. The latest hearsay concerns the identity of the film's villain, and it's a name only hardcore Marvelites will know.
According to Geek.com, next summer the Guardians will be going up against Ego the Living Planet, a villain who is exactly as weird as his title suggests. For the uninitiated, Ego was formed in the Black Galaxy and then developed sentient attributes including organs and a brain. In the comics, the creature has frequently tangled with Thor but has crossed paths with many other figures across the cosmos including the Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, and Galactus.
