Kurt Russell Praises Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2's Complex Story


Chris Pratt already hyped up Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and now, Kurt Russell, the actor who's playing Peter Quill's father, the humanoid version of Ego the Living Planet, praised the complexity of the film's story. During an interview with Collider, he said:

"Well, I'm doing the #2 one, right? So I was really impressed that all of the people on the set were so excited because they felt this was so much stronger than the first one, that they really knew what they were doing and the story itself was strong. That pervaded the set. James and everybody else felt like ‘We got our sea legs on the first one, now we can really go.'"
"I was impressed with the stuff that I saw at Comic-Con, but they didn't show you everything [laughs]. It's a very complex story, and they really get into it. This is going to be one of the more—probably for Marvel, it's more connected to human issues, family issues, parental issues, and issues that sons and daughters have with their moms and dads and their family tree, where they come from. I just think it's going to be an interesting— Peter's character in this one, he's got dilemmas and he's got decisions to make that are not just about whether to save that thing or that person. This is about finding out who you are, where you come from, and where you're going."

We don't know a lot of plot details about the film yet, but James Gunn recently revealed that it will also focus on Nebula and Gamora's sisterly relationship. The film will obviously be more personal and focus more on themes of family and finding who they really are. James Gunn knows how to develop characters well, and that's why I have high expectations for this one.

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