James Gunn reveals why a powerful Guardians Of The Galaxy member was cut from the MCU team

James Gunn explains why a famous comic book character didn’t make his debut in the MCU Guardians of the Galaxy Movies. James Gunns Guardians of the Galaxy The trilogy and special presentation introduced some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most flamboyant characters, from Rocket Raccoon and Groot to Rocket’s new Guardians of the Galaxy team, which includes the telepathic dog Cosmo and Adam Warlock’s alien pet Blurp. The Guardians of the Galaxy Films and special presentations, The Suicide Squad, Peacemakerand other non-superhero films like Slide And Super are a testament to James Gunn’s bombastic directing style.

To Topics, Marvel fan _jossvillalobos James Gunn asks why he “Nova was not included in the Guardians of the Galaxy films”in addition James Gunn answers, “I just wanted a human.” The only human member of the Guardians of the Galaxy in the MCU is Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill aka Star-Lord, whose human origins are a key element in the series Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy.

Nova’s absence from James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy trilogy makes sense because of Star-Lord

James Gunn’s decision to make Star-Lord the only human character Guardians of the Galaxy Films can be seen in the changes the director made to other members of the team. In the source material, Drax the Destroyer is a human named Arthur Douglas who dies in the Mojave Desert and is resurrected in the body of an alien humanoid. Likewise, Mantis was originally an orphan in Vietnam, but her origin story was retconned to make her an alien character. For their MCU adaptation James Gunn made Drax and Mantis alien characters to ensure Star-Lord’s human origins stood out.

The MCU has never been closer to solving a 10-year-old Guardians of the Galaxy mystery

An unexpected new Marvel project sets the MCU up for a perfect explanation for one of their universe’s longest-running and strangest mysteries.

Star-Lord’s human origins are essential Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy. Peter Quill became the leader of an interplanetary superhero team despite having no superpowers or special abilities (which he initially knew about), and consciously left Earth in the past to explore the stars, inspired by his mother’s last words. Star-Lord is a fish out of water by nature, but he turns that trait into an advantage.

It’s more likely that Nova will appear in the MCU after the Guardians Of The Galaxy trilogy ends

Although all members of the Guardians of the Galaxy are still alive (with the exception of the original Gamora variant), the original Guardians team is unlikely to return. James Gunn also left the MCU as he is now the head of DC Studios. With a new Guardians team active somewhere out there in the galaxy and Star-Lord back on Earth, the MCU could easily introduce Nova now. Actually the MCUs nova The show is in development but the release date is unknown. Since the multiverse saga is so crowded, nova could arrive in phase 7.
