Marvel

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.

Chris Pratt

Pratt is hooked on a feeling once more as Peter Quill/Star-Lord.

Zoe Saldana

Saldana reprises her role as green-skinned badass Gamora.

Vin Diesel

Although he's be a little smaller in this movie, Diesel is Groot once more.

Dave Bautista

Spectre villain Bautista returns as Drax.

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.

Michael Rooker

The Walking Dead alum is back as Yondu Udonta.

Sean Gunn

Gunn returns as Yondu's partner in crime, Kraglin.

Kurt Russell

TheHateful 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.

Sylvester Stallone

Stallone turns up as Stakar, aka Starhawk.
