The Other Guardians Team:
Sylvester Stallone plays Starhawk, a ravager in Vol. 2. The character is also responsible for forming a Guardians team in another timeline, a fact that is duly noted by the end of the movie when the ex-teammates sister Aleta (Michelle Yeoh), Mainframe (Miley Cyrus), Charlie-27 (Ving Rhames) and Martinex (Michael Rosenbaum) band together after meeting again at Yondu’s Ravager funeral. A new team in the works for a third film?..maybe.
