10. Are Mantis & Kraglin Guardians Now? - Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2
The Question: With Kraglin (Sean Gunn) getting a beefed-up role in Guardians Vol. 2 and Mantis (Pom Klementieff) joining the fray, are these two loveable oddballs now officially part of the Guardians lineup?
The Likely Answer: Mantis is a dead cert, considering the clear tactical potential of her empathetic powers, not to mention her hilarious interplay with the team, especially Drax (Dave Bautista).
Kraglin feels less definite, but considering how well-received his role was in Vol. 2, he's most certainly going to be back in Vol. 3 in some form. He might meet up with the Guardians and help them out on a mission while not being a fully-fledged, card-carrying member.
When asked about Kraglin following the movie's release, Gunn himself said, "I would call him an adjunct member of the Guardians. He's...around. He doesn't have voting rights." That could change in Vol. 3, but probably not.
