Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 Set Photos Reveal Nathan Fillion Role & Earth-Set Set-Piece

Photos from the set of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ have revealed the role of director James Gunn’s good luck charm, actor Nathan Fillion.

The photos have also revealed that part of the film will be set on Earth, indicating that the film may see Chris Pratt’s Star Lord return to his home planet.

- Robert Downey Jr Confirmed For Spider-Man: Homecoming

Gunn is currently shooting the film on location in Cartersville, Georgia, and residents have been keeping an eagle eye on what’s going on.

One of the pictures shows a series of film posters starring Nathan Fillion as Simon Williams - a character comic book fans know also goes by the name Wonder Man.

Another poster spotted is a clear riff on Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs biopic with Williams playing Iron Man himself Tony Stark. This also indicates that the scenes being shot take place after Star Lord is swiped from Earth in the 80s.

A video uploaded to Facebook also shows an action scene being shot with extras running away from an unseen threat that’s tipping over cars. Fans are sure to speculate as to what that means for the film as filming continues.

While Fillion’s character becomes a superhero in the comics, it’s entirely possibly we’ll just see him as Simon Williams in the film, and not Wonder Woman. That said, if any Marvel film is going to get weird and introduce D-list characters, then it’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2′.

Chris Pratt returns alongside Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, the voices of Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, and newcomers Kurt Russell and Elizabeth Debicki.

The film is set for release on 28 April 2017.
