8) Yondu Escapes
Next up, we see an unexpected pairing – Rocket and Yondu. The leader of the Ravagers and a quasi-foster father for Peter, Yondu was almost a secondary antagonist of the first film, so it’s strange to see a member of the Guardians teamed up with him here. Put together with what we know of the Comic-Con footage, though, and things become a lot clearer.
At Comic-Con, a scene where Rocket, Groot and Yondu are held captive by the Ravagers was shown. This moment in the trailer must happen after they escape – presumably by playing with the gravity, hence the Ravagers floating about the place.
[zergpaid]Quite why the Ravagers have turned against their old boss is not yet known, but having Yondu escape with Rocket does suggest that he’ll become a member of the Guardians in the sequel. Which would make sense, considering the character was a founding member of the team in the comics.
Likewise, Yondu sports a much taller head-fin than in the previous movie – another thing that brings him closer in line with his comic book counterpart.
