Aside from the footage that was shown to those in attendance, the highlight of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 portion of Marvel’s Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic Con was the fun-filled appearance from the actors who portray The Ravagers. They showed up in-costume and in-character, hilariously berating and heckling each other, the audience, director James Gunn, and the star-studded cast (except for legendary actor Kurt Russell).
