James Gunn already knows who Star-Lord's father is, and it's probably not who you think it is.
One of the unanswered questions of Guardians of the Galaxy involves the identity of Star-Lord's father. Well, James Gunn is already thinking about that one. But if you think the answer is picking up a Marvel comic, you would be wrong.
"There have been a lot of documents passed around about who Peter Quill’s father is between a select two or three of us,"Mr. Gunn told Empire."That’s been part of the plan since the beginning, that’s something I had to work out before we shot the screenplay. We wanted to make sure Yondu’s place in everything made sense and it does, so it’s all very specific stuff. It’s definitely not the character who it is in the comics, I’ll say that much."
So...no J'Son of Spartax, then? Oh, well. We have a pretty good guess at who it might be, and he's one of these 50 characters we'd like to see in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. No, we don't name him in that piece, either, but you have a one in fifty chance of guessing.
He also made it clear that he isn't married to the idea of Thanos being the main villain of Guardians of the Galaxy 2. ""He will show up...if he helps our story and he will not show up at all if not. Thanos is not the most important thing in Guardians 2, that’s for damn sure. There’s the Guardians themselves and other threats the Guardians are going to be facing that are not Thanos."
