New characters forGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3andDoctor Strange 2have reportedly been revealed. The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 will officially come to an end with this summer’sSpider-Man: Far From Homeand then the rest is pretty much a mystery as to what will come next and when. Thankfully, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige will more than likely drop a lot of information on us at this summer’s San Diego Comic-Con. With that being said, it looks like some new MCU info may have leaked.
First up isDoctor Strange 2, which we practically know next to nothing about. According to MCU sources, “Tilda Swinton is in talks to return as the Ancient One” Additionally, Jericho Drumm and Clea will reportedly make their MCU debuts. The source continues to say, “Clea will likely be portrayed by an Asian actress. Most importantly the gloves will be back!” We imagine he is referring to the yellow gloves Doctor Stephen Strange rocks in the first movie, which fans were pretty excited about.
Next isGuardians of the Galaxy 3, which just had director James Gunn return after originally being fired byDisneylast summer. There are many ways this sequel can go, and many are hoping Thor will be joining the crew this time around. However, that aspect has not been talked about in this latest set of rumors. MCU fans are also hoping Gamora will be back for the sequel too, but that is unclear at this moment and it will probably end up being a secret until the movie hits theaters. The MCU source had this to say.
“Rocket’s creator is the High Evolutionary,Draxis in for a big surprise when he discovers his daughter is alive. Rocket also gets a love interest in the form of Lylla. Nebula and Star Lord will grow into closer friends.”
Both sequels are highly anticipated and MCU fans are looking forward to seeing where these characters go after the events ofAvengers: Endgame. The movie created a lot of possibilities andSpider-Man: Far From Homewill more than likely leave some breadcrumbs for Phase 4, but probably not a whole lot. Regardless, we knowGuardians of the Galaxy 3,Doctor Strange 2,Black Widow,The Eternals, andShang-Chiare on the way.
Obviously, this is coming from anonymous sources, so we’re going to categorize this as a rumor for the time being. However, it is important to note that said source has had a pretty good track record when it comes to leaking MCU secrets. He had a lot ofAvengers: Endgameintel, which has been proven to be true now that the movie is out in theaters. With that being said, these are very much just rumors. HopefullyMarvel Studiosdrops some official news before this summer. Until then, you can check out the rumored tweets below.
