Guardians of the Galaxy 2: Nathan Fillion reveals DELETED cameo - is it Arkon?
NATHAN FILLION has revealed that his cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 has ended up on the cutting room floor.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 will not star Nathan Fillion
The actor took to Instagram to share a photo of himself in costume on the set of the movie, but said the scene did not make the finished film.
He seems to be a sort of viking-like character in control of a ship - leading to an assumption that he could have been Arkon from Weirdworld.
However, the likelihood is that Fillion was part of a sequence set on Earth at a film festival; a scene revealed by James Gunn to have been scrapped.
Fillion’s photo caption reads: “From a scene you won't see in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.
Fillion is an incredibly popular actor
Is the movie still spectacular without [the cameo]? Yes
“Is the movie still spectacular without it? Yes.”
Guardians Vol 2 is now weeks away from release, and Gunn was recently confirmed to be returning to write and direct Vol 3.
He explained: “Much of what’s happened in the MCU for the past ten or so years has been leading, in a big way, to the Avengers’ Infinity War.
“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will happen after all that.
Guardians Vol 2 releases early May

“It will conclude the story of this iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and help catapult both old and new Marvel characters into the next ten years and beyond.
“I will be working side-by-side with Kevin Feige and the gang to help design where these stories go, and make sure the future of the Marvel Cosmic Universe is as special and authentic and magical as what we have created so far.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is out on May 5.
