James Gunn Clarifies Yondu’s Role In Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 greatly moved the group’s story forward, with each of the Guardians becoming more fleshed out. Michael Rooker’s Yondu did perhaps the biggest about-face, going from a secondary antagonist to an unlikely ally and father figure for Star-Lord. The blue antihero was ultimately given one of the most devastating death scenes of the entire MCU, as well as a firework-fueled Ravager funeral in space.
