At long last, the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy has arrived! The original's quintet of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, and Dave Bautista, have returned, but that's not all. There's a bizarre new role for Kurt Russell, and a new more newbies. Unfortunately, previously announced stars Glenn Close and Nathan Fillion did not make it into the final cut. Let's hope for a reel of deleted scenes to surface! Keep reading to see the entire stellar cast, and get all the other details floating around out there.
Vin Diesel
Although he's be a little smaller in this movie, Diesel is Groot once more.
Bradley Cooper
Cooper got in touch with his animal nature again as the foul-mouthed raccoon, Rocket.
Karen Gillan
With Ronan out of the picture, it's interesting to see what Gillan's Nebula character is up to.
Kurt Russell
The Hateful Eight star is playing classic (and bizarre) Marvel villain Ego the Living Planet. As you might guess from his name, Ego is a living, breathing planet (he has a brain as well as digestive and immune systems) who wields extremely powerful psionic powers and also happens to be Peter Quill's dear old dad.
Chris Sullivan
You might have seen Sullivan as Toby on This Is Us? He's a lot way from home as Taserface.
Elizabeth Debicki
Debicki killed it in The Great Gatsby and Everest, and she plays Ayesha in the new film.
Pom Klementieff
The Oldboy actress plays Marvel superhero Mantis, who is highly skilled in martial arts and a former member of the Avengers.
