Glenn Close wants to return for Guardians of the Galaxy 2

August 6th, 2014 by Marc Comments

ComicBookMovie.com are reporting that academy award nominated actress Glenn Close is eager to return to her role as Nova Prime Irani Rael in a Guardians of the Galaxy sequel.  

Speaking to USA Today the actress revealed that staring in the first film reminded her of Star Wars in that the characters didn’t take themselves seriously.  She went on to say “When you play a character who (the audience) love and are amused by, hopefully they’ll see more of you. Especially at this point in my career, it’s fantastic. To be in the beginning of literally a whole new universe for people is really fun.”

So will we be seeing Commander Rael return?  If so is this a good thing?  Let us know in the usual way by leaving a coment below or sending us a tweet to @nerdfollowing.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is set for a July 28th 2017 release.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
