The Theory: Ego isn't really Star-Lord's dad, with various theories suggesting Peter Quill's real father could in fact be Yondu, Starhawk or even his comic book version, J'Son of Spartax.

The Truth: Surprisingly, Ego is actually, without any ambiguity whatsoever, definitely, 100% Peter's father, despite his predictably villainous turn initially suggesting he might actually have been up to a ruse.

Making Yondu his real father, especially in light of his death, would've felt cheap, convenient and nonsensical, so it's a relief that Gunn made the tough call to have Star-Lord's dad turn out to be a major douchebag he was probably better off never meeting.
