(MCU EXCLUSIVE!) Guardians of the Galaxy 3: First Look at Sylvester Stallone's Character Unveiled

James Gunn's upcoming third Guardians of the Galaxy film released a new teaser featuring Sylvester Stallone's returning character, offering fans a sneak peek of what's to come.

In the previous installment, Stallone played the role of Stakar Ogord, one of Yondu's original teammates.

ย 

The Hollywood legend confirmed his return to the franchise via social media back in November 2021, sharing an image of himself undergoing a 3D facial scan session. Shortly thereafter, he posted another photo of himself in full costume, which has since been deleted.

Sylvester Stallone Returns to the MCU

ย 

Marvelย andย Disneyย releasedย a new minute-long teaser forย Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

ย 

In the brief new footage, audiences get their first look at Sylvester Stallone's Stakar Ogord, who first appeared in Vol. 2.

There is more to the new footage than just a quick look at Sylvester Stallone's character.

ย 

In the teaser, there is also a shot of what appears to be the ship of the High Evolutionary breaking through the surface of a vast body of water.

ย 

The big bad himself, played byย Chukwudi Ewuji, also gets his moment to shine as he violently powers up.

Viewers even get to see Nathan Fillion's cameoโ€”of which zero context is offered.

What Will Stakar Ogord's Role Be in Guardians 3?

It's hard to knowย what Sylvester Stallone's characterย might be up to this time around.

ย 

While one might look to the comics for inspiration, the MCU's take on the character has little in common with the more abstract and high-concept version of the original hero.

ย 

If Stakar is back, there's a good chance the rest of his teammates will follow: Ving Rhames' Charlie-27, Michelle Yeoh's Aleta Ogord,ย Michael Rosenbaum's Martinex, Miley Cryus' Mainframe, and Krugarr. After all, the High Evolutionary looks like he'll be quite the challengeโ€”perhaps the Guardians of the Galaxy need a little backup.

ย 

Maybe some members of Yondu's original gang will be reintegrated into a new iteration of the titular team by the time the movie comes to a close.

ย 

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3ย lands in theaters on Friday, May 5.
