Was Sylvester Stallone Secretly Added to the Cast of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2?

Did Marvel Studios and James Gunn secretly cast Sylvester Stallone for Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2? Rumors point to yes due to a photo that was originally published by New York Daily News.

Check out the aforementioned photo after the jump plus some of my commentaries…

Credits once again to NYDailynews.com for publishing this.

Stallone was spotted exiting the same Atlanta hotel where the cast stays for the duration of principal photography. The recent Oscar nominee was also spotted with what appears to be a script although that is entirely up in the air. Another rumored giveaway about his participation for the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy was the “Creed” star getting in the car that is also used to drive Chris Pratt around.

So basically, the report is merely suggesting that he could be in talks with Marvel Studios or that he’s in final negotiation. But it never did confirm that he has been cast. More interesting for me is what role he could take on. I would definitely want to see him as a villain for this one. We know there will be some new additions but we still don’t know which cosmic baddie from the Marvel Universe will set their sight on the GOTG.

For me though, Stallone could be a good K’lrt the Super Skrull or even one of those new guys from Thanos’ recent crossover, Infinity.

Directed by James Gunn and starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 opens on May 5, 2017.
