Kurt Russell officially signs on to play Star-Lord’s dad in Guardians 2
For two months, Marvel fans have been hearing about the possibility of Kurt Russell playing the father of Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2. Now, at long last, the actor has officially signed on to the project, either because he liked the script or because he needs money to pay for that antique guitar he smashed on the set of The Hateful Eight. Deadline reports that—besides Russell—Elizabeth Debicki (The Man From U.N.C.L.E.), Chris Sullivan (The Knick), and Pom Klementieff (the Oldboy remake) have also joined the cast. The film has started principal photography in Atlanta, which looks a lot like the Nova Empire when you computer generate everything but the actors’ faces.
