‘Guardians of the Galaxy 2’ Looking to Add Kurt Russell as Starlord’s Father

It looks like Mr. Russell may become Mr. Quill.

One of the biggest lingering mysteries of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the identity of Star-Lord’s father.

Rumors about Peter Quill’s dad have been swirling around the web for some time, and while we still don’t know who this character truly is, we may now know who will portray him.

The Wrap reports that Kurt Russell is set to meet with Marvel about joining the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 for the role of Star-Lord’s father.

Apparently, Russell is currently director James Gunn’s first choice for the role, despite the actor having not yet read the script, or being officially offered the part.

Russell has had a long and storied career in Hollywood; starring in films like The Thing, Escape from New York, and Miracle. 2015 has been a big year for the actor especially, as he had a supporting role in Furious 7, and will star in the upcoming Tarantino flick, The Hateful Eight.

Back to the original question, who is Star Lord’s dad?

Well, James Gunn really doesn’t want us to know.

He has shot down a number of likely candidates, including Jason of Spartax (Peter’s father in the comics), and most recently, Mar-Vell.

That doesn’t leave many obvious choices (maybe Adam Warlock?), but we’d be happy with a surprise reveal.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will see the main cast from the original film return, meaning, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel; as well as newcomer Pom Klementieff.

We love Kurt Russell, and we’d love to see him join the MCU as Mr. Star-Lord, who ever that might be.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits theaters on May 5, 2017.
