Joining the likes of returning stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, as well as new additions Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, Chris Sullivan and Kurt Douglas, will be Sons of Anarchy actor Tommy Flanagan.
According to Variety, the Scot has joined the cast of Marvel’s space opera in an unspecified role, while Heroic Hollywood has said he will play a Ravager going after Rocket Racoon, in hope to claim the bounty on the rodent’s head.
As well as Sons of Anarchy, Flanagan has had notable roles in Gladiator, Sin City and Braveheart.
Director James Gunn has been teasing out information about the film over the last few weeks, first posting a photo of the original team, featuring a much smaller Groot.
He also confirmed that neither Benicio Del Toro’s Collector nor Josh Brolin’s Thanos will feature in the film, coming as a surprise to many fans who expected both to feature in the MCU Phase Three film.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is expected 5 May 2017.
