Shortly after Guardians of the Galaxy became a critical and box office smash rumors and speculation began hitting the web about its sequel. Some have been quite outlandish while others could be plausible. So writer and director James Gunn held a Q&A with fans on his Twitter account and Facebook page to clear some things up.
On Facebook, Gunn put the kibosh on rumors claiming Captain Marvel could appear in the sequel and that a Venom symbiote(s) could appear — since Marvel Studios and Sony struck a new deal to bring Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“@DrunkenShots: Still wondering if Captain Marvel will appear in #GoTG2" Getting this a lot this morning. As I said months ago, no, sorry.

“@Ali_Akhtar_: what about the symbiote rumours?" There are no rumors. Just guesses, which are fun. Only 6 of us know who's in GotG2.

So there you go straight from the mouth of the man who is currently developing and writing the sequel. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 releases in theaters on May 5, 2017.
