Just shortly after the news about Peter Quill's father broke Director James Gunn took to Facebook to set things straight once and for all.
We have learned towards the end of the movie "Guardians of the Galaxy" that Peter Quill was not entirely human. Reports suggest that that the identity of his father will be revealed in the sequel. Until "Guardians of the Galaxy" comes out, Peter Quill's parentage was supposed to be a mystery.
But according to Heroic Hollywood, the truth in Peter Quill's identity has finally been uncovered. The online site claims that based on the findings of four different sources, Star-Lord's father is said to be Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell), from the Silver Age of Marvel's comic books.
The writer's revelation did not go unnoticed. Unfortunately, the director for "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" says that Captain Marvel is not Peter Quill's father. According to IGN, it won't be the same character who fathered Star-Lord in the Marvel Comics, nor Adam Warlock.
This what Director Gunn has written in his Official Facebook Page, "All right. From this moment on I'm going to stop commenting on any rumors surrounding Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, because, eventually, someone is going to come up with a spoiler that has some truth to it. That said, the rumors surrounding Quill's parentage at the present moment are completely false, and aren't even close to the truth. I don't know how people come up with this stuff, but it certainly isn't through legitimate sources.
"Also, I get the desire to get "scoops" on character inclusion and casting choices, etc. But since when is a plot spoiler a "scoop"? Is this really what fandom wants to know? Plot details in movies ahead of time? I got in this business because I love movies, and I think most film journalists are the same way. And spoiling plot details doesn't add to the enjoyment of the film-going experience. So bravo to those folks out there who don't partake in this sort of thing.
"But, as I said, eventually someone will actually spoil some detail of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. So this will be my last comment squelching a rumor until May 2017. But if you do pick up on some plot detail between now and then, be aware, A) They are likely full of shit, as has been everyone so far who has claimed to have had inside info, and B) We're creating a film that doesn't rely on plot twists to be an enjoyable experience. They're only a very small part of what we're cooking up for you."
There you have it. This is "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" news coming straight from the horses mouth. The film will premiere sometime in 2017.
