AceShowbiz - A new photo of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" has landed online. The image gives a better look at Kurt Russell's character Ego the Living Planet, who is also the estranged father of Peter Quill a.k.a. Star-Lord (Chris Pratt).
Similar to the action figure, the cosmic character can be seen sporting thick beard and gray hair in a picture that was obtained by a Snapchat user.
