Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 filming wrapped in May and last week featured a first look at the highly anticipated trio during San Diego Comic-Con. Although the trailer has yet to be released online, many in attendance shared details of the footage, and a surprise cast member was quick to show off his franchise return on Twitter. Smallville alum Michael Rosenbaum appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 as Martinex, the first officer of the Stakar Ravager Clan. Yesterday, Rosenbaum took to Twitter to tease his return to Flight. 3.
“Has anyone noticed that a certain Crystal Destroyer appeared for a second in the new Guardians trailer?” Rosenbaum tweeted. It’s no big surprise that Rosenbaum is returning given that it was previously announced that Slyvester Stallone would also appear in the film as Stakar Ogord. You can check out the actor’s post below:

“I think it was really about telling a story between the three movies with some side adventures,” Gunn said during Flight. 3part of Marvel’s Comic-Con panel. “But I think it’s really just one story. It’s the final arc that we started at the very beginning of guardians of the galaxywith Peter Quill, with Rocket, seeing where Nebula goes, and even Kraglin, who started out saying a line or two in the first movie and is now a primary Guardian of the Galaxy.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will feature the return of Chris Pratt (Peter Quill/Star-Lord), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Dave Bautista (Drax). Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Sean Gunn (Kraglin/Rocket on set), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Bradley Cooper (Rocket) and Vin Diesel (Groot). New cast additions also include Will Poulter as Adam Warlock and Chukwudi Iwuji as High Evolutionary as well as The Suicide Squadis Daniela Melchior, Hypermarket former Nico Santos, and Borat Next Movieit is Maria Bakalova as Cosmo the space dog. Recently, Gunn shut down rumors that Harry Styles would appear in the film as Starfox.
Do you think Rosenbaum’s return as Martinex could also mean the return of other big stars who appeared at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2? In addition to Stallone and Rosenbaum, the scene featured Michelle Yeoh as Aleta Ogord, Ving Rhames as Charlie-27, and Miley Cyrus as Mainframe. Tell us in the comments!
