[Warning: this article contains possible spoilers]
Entertainment Weekly spoke to Gunn regarding the released of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" to DVD and Blu-ray on Dec. 9. The director explained how the production wanted to introduce Thanos' character to the franchise.
"We definitely talked about the Emperor," he told EW. "The most difficult thing was to introduce Thanos in a way where he's cool, but not make our antagonist, Ronan, look like a wuss in the process. That was a real delicate balance."
As far as characters are concerned, Gunn would like to explore more of Nebula's backstory and along with two new characters.
"Yondu and Kraglin, the Ravagers. And I love Nebula. I think that she is underutilized in the film. I want to see more of her. The Collector. He'll reappear," Gunn said. "I don't know if he's gonna been the next one. I do think his story is really compelling, and I think he's one of those very interesting shades of gray characters."
Gunn also spoke to MTV News about the sequel to his hit Marvel movie. The director revealed he isn't sure what Marvel has planned beyond the sequel as "Guardians of the Galaxy" is a standalone franchise .
"I don't feel beholden to that stuff at all. I think it's really about the Guardians and what they are doing. We're not subservient to the Avengers," he said. "'Guardians 2' is not a movie that's made to move toward 'Infinity War.' It's something that's made to move toward future cosmic movies, so I don't feel that that is something that affects me that much."
"Guardians of the Galaxy 2" is slated to hit theaters on May 5, 2017.
