James Gunn opens up about including this mysterious hero in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Director James Gunn of Marvel's blockbuster franchise Guardians of the Galaxy has a knack for including lesser-known characters from the comics in his movie adaptations. With the Guardians movie series, he has brought to life many underrated superheroes like the integration of Mantis as a key element in the second volume and many others that Gunn has now turned into fan favourites.

In a recent reply on Twitter, Gunn revealed that he wanted to revive another such character from the comics and bring him into the MCU. While fans went on a spree and rallied for a solo movie for the character Darkhawk, Gunn informed them that in fact he had a plan for the hero and wanted to add him to the blend in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 as he replied to a fan and wrote, "Was almost in Vol 2." Gunn sure has a way with his lesser-known characters, he gave a major redemption arc to Karen Gillan's Nebula which has led her to be a fan favourite even though her roots started as a villain.
