10. Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 To Be Less "Sprawling"; Will Feature More Character Development

In case you thought that the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie was a bit too "sprawling" or a tad too "crazy," director James Gunn recently announced his plans to ensure that the follow-up film - that is, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - will be a more intimate affair. Presumably this means excessive scenes of Star Lord hugging Rocket Raccoon. Here's what Gunn had to say:
"People ask for so many characters to be in €˜Guardians of the Galaxy 2€™ and they ask for so many actors who they want to be in €˜Guardians of the Galaxy 2€™ but we actually have less characters in €˜Guardians of the Galaxy 2€™ than we have in €˜Guardians of the Galaxy 1€™ because everything is just getting too sprawling and too crazy for me in these superhero comic book movies. There€™s just too many characters so you can€™t concentrate on one and really get to know that character, and I really want to get to know the characters that we know better."
It's not a terrible idea, of course; despite the fact that the excessive plotlines and super craziness made the movie endlessly fun to watch, the characters were the best thing about Guardians of the Galaxy, and a motion picture with its eye firmly fixed on developing them into well-rounded human beings (or, uh, aliens) is sure to be brilliant in its own way.
