Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Mantis Seemingly Confirmed For Avengers: Infinity War

Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War continues to add to its already impressive cast, and now another member of the Guardians of the Galaxy has seemingly confirmed her role.

Pom Klementieff got people talking earlier this month after posting an Instagram post with an image of The Avengers #123. The issue shows Vision, Thor, Black Panther, and Scarlet Witch, and Iron Man surrounding Mantis, and the only caption with it was a green emoji heart. Now the star has posted another picture on Facebook, but this time she’s sporting a beanie with the Infinity War logo emblazoned across it, all but confirming that she will also be making the jump to Infinity War.

She’ll join Groot, Rocket Racoon, Star-Lord, Gamora, and Drax in what is already an epic affair, but first fans will get to see how she joins the Guardians in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is written and directed by James Gunn (Slither). The film marks the return of the original Guardians, including Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Gamora; Dave Bautista (Spectre) as Drax; Vin Diesel (Furious 7) as the voice of Groot; Bradley Cooper (American Sniper) as the voice of Rocket; Michael Rooker (Jumper) as Yondu; Karen Gillan (The Big Short) as Nebula; and Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls) as Kraglin. New cast members include Pom Klementieff (Oldboy), Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby, Everest), Chris Sullivan (The Knick, The Drop) and Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight, The Thing).

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on May 5, 2017.
