Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2: 12 Theories That Were Utter Bull

10. An Avenger Has A Cameo

The Theory: A member of the core Avengers line-up will appear in the movie. You can thank James Gunn for this rumour gaining traction, after he was photographed posing on the set of Guardians Vol. 2 clutching Thor's beloved hammer Mjolnir, but he insisted it was merely a spare prop. And he was right.

The Truth: No, there are no appearances from The Avengers in this film, which makes sense as it's easily one of the most self-contained MCU movies to date, with only scattered mentions of both Thanos and the Infinity Stones.

An Avenger showing up, especially considering how little of the film takes place on Earth, would likely have felt like ham-fisted fan service, so it was probably for the best.
