In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Greer will take on a unique role, playing a character named “War Pig.” War Pig is one of the High Evolutionary’s henchmen and will come into conflict with the Guardians. This will be Greer’s first time back in the MCU since 2018.
The High Evolutionary’s Shtick For Cameos
The High Evolutionary’s expertise in genetic experiments allows for a lot of creative freedom in casting. Director James Gunn utilized this freedom to bring in a variety of actors for cameos. Nathan Fillion, who is one of Gunn’s favorite choices for cameos, even received a role with several lines.

Although Greer’s return is not as Maggie Lang, it is expected that her character will return at some point in the future. With Cassie Lang set to play a larger role in the MCU, it would be unusual for her story to entirely avoid her mother.
Fans will have to wait until the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to determine if Greer’s War Pig character will have more voice work in her Marvel future. The film is now releasing in theaters overseas and will debut in North America on May 5.
