Our friends at Geek.com are reporting that Ego, the Living Planet could show up in the James Gunn-directed film. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Ego is precisely what it sounds like — a sentient planet complete with a face and beard.The cosmic entity has crossed paths with numerous Marvel heroes in the comics, including Thor, the Fantastic Four, and Nova. Being one of the comic book universe's more absurd-looking individuals, Ego seems like a perfect fit for the motley characters of Guardians of the Galaxy.Whether he'll actually make it into the final version of the film, and in just what capacity will likely remain unclear for quite some time. Late last year Gunn announced that he would no longer comment on rumors regarding his upcoming film.We may just have to wait for the movie to premiere on May 5, 2017 to find out for sure.
