James Gunn shoots down those Thor rumors he accidentally started
As Freud once said, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” And, it turns out, sometimes an Instagram of a Marvel director holding Thor’s hammer is just that, and not a clue that Thor is going to pop up in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2. Director James Gunn took to Facebook to clarify that Thor won’t be appearing in the sequel to his 2014 space comedy despite that fact that he took a photo with Thor’s hammer Mjolnir (a.k.a. “mew mew”). In sharing an album of behind-the-scenes photos from the set, Gunn noted:
No, Thor isn’t in Vol. 2 – the props guy just happened to have it around and I decided to take a pic with it. Not sure if I’m able to lift it because I’m worthy or because I’m soulless like an elevator.
Here’s the photo that started the rumor mill:
