Marvel and Disney have released a new teaser for the highly anticipated third installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy film series. The one-minute trailer offers a sneak peek at several characters, including the returning Stakar Ogord, portrayed by Sylvester Stallone.
Stallone’s Role In Vol. 2
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Stallone played Stakar Ogord, one of Yondu’s original teammates. The character made a brief appearance at the end of the movie, hinting at a potential larger role in future installments.
Stallone’s Confirmation And New Look
In November 2021, Stallone confirmed his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with an image of him doing a 3D facial scan session. He also posted a photo of himself in full costume, which has since been deleted.
The teaser trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 offers a brief glimpse of Stallone’s Stakar Ogord in action. Viewers can also see the High Evolutionary’s ship breaching the surface of a large body of water and the High Evolutionary, played by Chukwudi Ewuji, powering up.
Stakar Ogord’s Role In Vol. 3
It’s unclear what role Stakar Ogord will play in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. While the comics might offer some inspiration, the MCU’s version of the character differs from the original hero.
Given Stakar’s return, there’s a possibility that other members of Yondu’s original gang could also make appearances, including Ving Rhames’ Charlie-27, Michelle Yeoh’s Aleta Ogord, Michael Rosenbaum’s Martinex, Miley Cyrus’ Mainframe, and Krugarr. With the High Evolutionary set to pose a significant challenge to the Guardians, they might need all the help they can get.
A New Iteration Of The Guardians
It’s also possible that Yondu’s original teammates could be reintegrated into a new iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy team by the end of the movie, setting the stage for future installments in the franchise.
Overall, the teaser trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 offers a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come in the highly anticipated film, including the return of fan-favorite characters like Stakar Ogord.
