Rumour: Has Sylvester Stallone joined Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2?

Sylvester Stallone may have missed out on the Best Supporting Actor Oscar last month, but it looks like his luck could be changing for the better. According to the New York Daily News, the actor may be set to star in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Stallone was spotted leaving the Atlanta hotel where the cast is currently staying, clutching what looked like a copy of the script, and getting into a car "usually assigned to Chris Pratt". Suspicious.

Directed by James Gunn and starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Michael Rooker, Kurt Russell, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will hit UK cinemas on April 28, 2017 and open in US theatres on May 5, 2017.
