Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has made no secret of the fact that the sequel to the superhero hit will include the reveal of Peter Quill's father, and that his identity is different from the one in the comics. It was recently reported that Kurt Russell was in talks for the role, and while the actor confirmed as much on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, he also revealed that he has yet to see Guardians of the Galaxy...
"I’m one of the four idiots that’s never seen it", Russell said. "Many times I’ve heard ‘That’s a really fun movie, a really good movie [with] great characters.’ I don’t know it. So, I didn’t realize that the man [James Gunn] had written and directed it. So we talked to each other on the phone and I just had to be honest and say, ‘Thank you for considering me, I have to read it, and I have to watch the movie because I can’t bring anything for you. I’ve got nothing to offer here.’ So, I’m amazed to get asked about this because everybody knows more about it than I do".
