The Question: The fact that James Gunn and co. have been so brazen about stating that Ego is Star-Lord's father has caused many to suspect that, in fact, he won't end up being the dad. In which case, one has to ask: who the Hell will it be?

The Likely Answer: There's a persistent and rather plausible rumour that Gunn is pulling a bait-and-switch here, and Star-Lord's true father will eventually be revealed as none other than the guy who's been standing in the frame all along, Star-Lord's kinda-adoptive father, Yondu.

It certainly has a ton of comedic potential and would be a fun twist for those concerned that the new trailer has given too much away, even if making sense of it wouldn't be all that easy, considering how counter it runs to much of what Yondu said in the first movie.
