Sounds Like GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 Will Have More Girl Power Than Any Previous Marvel Studios Film

Here at DailySuperHero.com, we are big fans of writer and director James Gunn. Without meeting him in person he seems like a relatable, fun and caring person through his social media pages, especially on Facebook. He will debunk stupid rumors and scoops, share his love for animals and every once in a while give fans a little tease for his next Marvel Studios movie, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2.

Gunn took to his Facebook page to share some brief information about his female leads Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Nebula (Karen Gillan) and Mantis (Pom Klementieff) in his space opera sequel and it sounds like GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 will have more girl power than seen in any previous Marvel Cinematic Universe film.

“Women all over the world have been pushed to the sidelines in the interests of men, and their person hood is often forgotten or delegitimized. This is true in the realms of politics and education and religion. But it is also true in the realm of STORIES. That is my personal area of expertise, and that is where I believe women – and girls – deserve the fullness of character that men have often received. I have done my best, as a male writer, with varying degrees of success, to bring female characters and female stories to the forefront. Whether they’re protagonists like Ana in Dawn of the Dead or Starla inSlither, comedy relief like Deadly Girl, Nightbird, and Power Chick in The Specials, or the insane, scene-stealing roles usually reserved for men, like Libby in SUPER. And I can’t wait for you all to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, with Gamora, Nebula, and Mantis in action, where we not only pass the Bechdel test, but run over it and back up over it again and again in an eighteen-wheeler truck, and where their stories and the men’s stories don’t come at the expense of each other, but are interwoven in a way to strengthen and optimize all of them.”

And don't forget to add Elizabeth Debicki into the mix too since she's playing (potential villain) Aeysha.

So yeah... the sequel is looking to flex Marvel Studios' girl power muscles more than ever before!

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 releases on May 5, 2017.
