“We, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, are coming to San Diego Comic-Con this year,” he told fans. “I’m going to be there, Chris Pratt is going to be there, a bunch of the gang is going to be there and we’re going to show you guys something pretty cool.”
That ‘something pretty cool’ will almost certainly be a first teaser trailer - the convention being held between 21 and 24 July.
Marvel as largely absent at last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, but, in addition to Gunn, Scott Derrickson is expected to be there, which means a better look at and more info on the Benedict Cumberbatch-starring Doctor Strange.
Gunn told Collider of the GOTG sequel: "It's both a bigger movie and a smaller movie because we focus more intensely on some of the characters."
Protagonist Peter Quill’s (Chris Pratt) father was referenced in the first film, and it sounds like he’ll be central to the second.
“We get to learn a lot more about fathers in the second movie, [So] we focus a lot on that,” Gunn added.
Kurt Russell is thought to be playing Peter’s dad, his performance having moved the cast and crew to tears during filming.
