Guardians of Galaxy 2 director James Gunn celebrated the first day of photography for the production with a Facebook post to his fans. The post included an official set photo of baby Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Dax the Destroyer, Gamora and Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star-Lord.
“The last few days around here with him and our other new cast members, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, and Chris Sullivan, have been some of the best of my life. I never thought anyone was missing from our island of misfit toys, but now that these folks are here there feels like there was,” Gunn wrote in his Facebook post. “We'll have more surprises for you in the coming months. But, for now, this will have to do.”
Gunn also confirmed Guardians of Galaxy 2 will welcome Kurt Russell to the cast. Rumor has it Russell could play Star-Lord’s father , but Gunn hasn’t confirmed which character he’s set to play.
Marvel’s Guardians of Galaxy 2 hits theaters May 5, 2017.
