Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2: 10 Amazing Scenes We Know Are Happening

7. Rocket And Yondu's Escape

Another character who'll be getting a meatier role this time around, and similarly we'll see joining the Guardians for a spell, is Michael Rooker's Yondu.

The closest thing Peter Quill has to a father, there's probably a decent chance Yondu might die in this movie (with the theme of family running through, it'd certainly be poignant), but before that happens we're going to have a lot of fun with the character.

He is, after all, a blue-skinned badass. We know the Ravagers will turn on him at some stage, but then we'll see him escape from them in ridiculously cool fashion. It looks like he might actually be the one breaking Rocket and Groot out of prison here, completing his turn to the good side, but regardless of that detail it's an incredibly casual breakout.

The Yaka Arrow in particular looks like it'll make for an excellent way of taking down the enemies here, while Rocket is in his absolute element as well. It'll make for a fun fight sequence, but also have added pertinence in cementing Yondu's status as a good guy.
