James Gunn of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 clarifies the role of Daniela Melchior

guardians of the galaxy vol. 3The cast of has grown by one unit. Yesterday, screenwriter and director James Gunn confirmed that Daniela Melchior, with whom he had previously worked the suicide squad, will appear in the next Marvel movie. So far, Melchor’s role in flight. 3 is being kept under wraps, but Gunn took to social media to clarify what he had previously said about his involvement, which was rumored at the time.

You will recall that in October 2021 the rumor emerged that Daniela Melchior would be joining guardians of the galaxy vol. 3 to play Moon Dragon. James Gunn denied this rumor with a resounding “FALSE”. When the Guardians Of The Galaxy and Thor Updates Twitter account recently claimed that Gunn had previously claimed that Melchior had not appeared in flight. 3the director replied with the tweet below:

So let’s forget it now. Although James Gunn may not have been able to directly confirm in advance that Daniel Melchior will be involved guardians of the galaxy vol. 3, it has always been widely clarified that he would not give birth to Dragoluna. For those unfamiliar with the character, in the comics Moondragon is also known as Heather Douglas, the daughter of Arthur Douglas, the man who became Drax the Destroyer. Initially thought to have died with her mother, Heather survived the car accident and was greeted by Mentor, Thanos’ father, to be raised on Titan by the monks of Shao-Lom. Through her training, Heather became a skilled martial artist and also developed telepathic and telekinetic skills.

At this point, there is no indication that Moondragon will appear guardians of the galaxy vol. 3, although that doesn’t mean it could never appear in the MCU. Dave Bautista’s version of Drax the Destroyer suffered when his wife and daughter were killed by Thanos’ forces under Ronan the Accuser, but perhaps his daughter could have somehow survived, as Heather did in the comics.

However, since the MCU’s Drax the Destroyer is an alien rather than a human soul encased in a powerful body, it makes sense that the MCU’s Moondragon must also be an alien, and since Titan was left lifeless in the MCU for a long time, the origin of his powers should also be changed. But perhaps most important of all, since flight. 3 this will be Bautista’s last outing as Drax and it has not been discussed what role he will be playing, if Moondragon is not played by another actress in part 3 it is highly unlikely that the character will be included in this franchise unless has ties to Drax. they are completely cut.

In any case, Daniel Melchior is the third great actor to join guardians of the galaxy vol. 3with Will Poulter on board to play Adam Warlock and LollipopChukwudi Iwuji plays a character he describes as “powerful” and “extremely complex”. They will join well-known faces such as Dave Bautista, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Sean Gunn, Elizabeth Debicki and Sylvester Stallone.

guardians of the galaxy vol. 3 will be released in theaters on May 5, 2023, but you don’t have to wait that long to see the main cast again. They will appear by the end of the summer in Thor: love and thunderthen star Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Specialwhich Disney + subscribers will be able to stream in December.
