7. Will Mantis Get To Do Something Substantial?

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 Questions Ego

Mantis is one the newcomers to the Guardians for this movie, and an interesting character from the off due to her sheer oddness (standing out even in this team of oddballs).

However, the trailers haven't yet fully sold her character, and this one is no exception. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as it means we might get a few surprises from her in the film, but so far all we've seen her do is fuss over Baby Groot and be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

She's potentially a really interesting character, and will likely have much more story to be told around Ego and his true nature (he was the one who raised her). There could be some weight in her choosing to leave him behind and go off with the Guardians, and hopefully we get to see her do way more than we have done so far.
