James Gunn and Nathan Fillion have beenbest buds and collaborators for some time. From Slither to Super and even asmall cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy, Fillon is very much Gunn’s John
Ratzenberger.

So it’s unsurprising to hear that they’ll be
reunited again for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, however, what is surprising
is just who he’s playing

A local Georgian took pictures of the
Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 set outside in Atlanta, which is intriguing in
and of itself as it’s usually the spacey part of the galaxy where the guardians
spend most of their time.

However, Marvel have been shooting there
and one eagle eyed fan spotted this poster from the “Simon Williams Film
Festival”.

Card carrying comic geeks will know that
name belongs to Wonder Man, a superhero with a fear of death who ultimately
gave up the hero game to instead use his superpowers to star as an actor in
Holly wood.

If you look close at the fake movie poster, Williams has becomesuccessful as an actor and has starred in a number of movies, including a SteveJobs-esque biopic about Tony Stark.

So we can deduct from the poster that thisisn’t a flashback due to just who the movie is about – although we are
expecting some sort of trip to the past due to the presence of Peter Quill’s
(Chris Pratt) father, played by Kurt Russell – so could this be a return to
Earth for Peter and perhaps his long lost father?

Further video footage from the Maine shoot –
featuring a space craft landing down a folksy street – seems to suggest a
return to Earth. 

The cinema itself has been made up to look like it’s in St.Charles, Missouri, Quill’s home state, so it would seem a return is on the cards.

It’s also possible that this could again be
part of a post-credit sequence – like the one featuring Howard the Duck – that simple
serves to make light of an old seemingly forgotten Marvel character.
