Following the success of Marvel's movies including "Guardians of the Galaxy" which grossed $774 millions last year, many fans were wondering which characters from Marvel comic books who would make an appearance in its sequel, "Guardians of the Galaxy 2". Recent news suggested that one of Marvel's supervillains, Kang the Conqueror, would not make any appearance in the movie.
Kang the Conqueror is a cosmic supervillain who begins his life as Nathaniel Richards, a historian from the 30th century. Richards time travels back to ancient Egypt, adopts the mantel of Pharaoh Rama-Tut, and proceeds to abuse his technological powers to a great extent. He has a great deal of knowledge and power which makes him become the time-traveling badass.
Considering the fact that his last film included a cameo by Howard the Duck, many people speculated that director James Gunn is open to include any cosmic character in one of his upcoming films. Unfortunately, based on a recent Facebook reply by Gunn, it looks like there may be a few characters he won't get a chance to play with anytime soon.
The director noted that the rights to both Kang the Conqueror and the Shi'ar belong to 20th Century Fox. It means that he can not change the decision that had been made about who would be in "Guardians of the Galaxy 2".
