Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 just released a new piece of concept art and to our surprise there’s a mysterious new character standing alongside our awesome Guardians… but who is she?
In this concept art for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, you can see all your favorites: Drax, Groot, Yondu, Star-Lord, Rocket, Nebula, and Gamora. But wait! Who’s that alien lady with the antennae?
The answer is a brand-new character named Mantis, an acquaintance of the Guardians played by actress Pom Klementieff (Spike Lee’sOldboy). “She has never really experienced social interaction,” says executive producer Jonathan Schwartz. “Everything she learns about dealing with people, she learns from the Guardians of the Galaxy, which is a very weird group to learn your social intricacies from.”
Still confused? Let’s check with Wikipedia:
Mantis is a fictional character, a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is a former member of the Avengers. The character was ranked 99th in Comics Buyer’s Guide’s “100 Sexiest Women in Comics” list.
That clears that up. Kinda sorta. I have to admit that I’m not familiar with the character but it is interesting to see another hero make it from the pages to the big screen. Hopefully more info will come soon about this one as it’s scheduled to release in May 2017. That’s all for now…
