One of the biggest questions about "Guardians of the Galaxy" is the identity of Star Lord/Peter Quill's father. This was always a mystery looming throughout the film.
Well, the mystery has been solved according to Heroic Hollywood. Master Scooper El Mayimbe made his big reveal about Star Lord's father.
He made a video for the announcement. He claims that he has four different sources to back up his claim. In his investigation, he only asked for a name, so the rest of what he says are based on his own research and speculation.
According to El Mayimbe, the father of Peter Quill is Captain Mar-vell. Not to be confused with Carol Danvers on whom the movie "Captain Marvel" is based but the Kree military officer. Watch his full video explanation. Watch his full video explanation here.
He also warned that Marvel will "come out swinging" and to expect denials. That's exactly what happened as James Gunn promptly refuted the claim in his Facebook account. The full statement below:
"All right. From this moment on I'm going to stop commenting on any rumors surrounding Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, because, eventually, someone is going to come up with a spoiler that has some truth to it. That said, the rumors surrounding Quill's parentage at the present moment are completely false, and aren't even close to the truth. I don't know how people come up with this stuff, but it certainly isn't through legitimate sources.
Also, I get the desire to get "scoops" on character inclusion and casting choices, etc. But since when is a plot spoiler a "scoop"? Is this really what fandom wants to know? Plot details in movies ahead of time? I got in this business because I love movies, and I think most film journalists are the same way. And spoiling plot details doesn't add to the enjoyment of the film-going experience. So bravo to those folks out there who don't partake in this sort of thing.
But, as I said, eventually someone will actually spoil some detail of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. So this will be my last comment squelching a rumor until May 2017. But if you do pick up on some plot detail between now and then, be aware, A) They are likely full of sh**, as has been everyone so far who has claimed to have had inside info, and B) We're creating a film that doesn't rely on plot twists to be an enjoyable experience. They're only a very small part of what we're cooking up for you."
Did the scooper get it right? Marvel has already denied many rumors which turned out to be true. However, El Mayimbe does not have a perfect track record.
