‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ Concept Art Introduces New Alien Mantis

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is already one of next summer’s most anticipated blockbusters, and as news about the Marvel sequel continues to trickle out, so do additions to its universe of characters.

On Friday, Entertainment Weekly revealed some new concept art that includes Mantis, a new female alien character who is played by Pom Klementieff (the Oldboy remake) and gets her social etiquette from the Guardians. “She has never really experienced social interaction,” says executive producer Jonathan Schwartz. “Everything she learns about dealing with people, she learns from the Guardians of the Galaxy, which is a very weird group to learn your social intricacies from.”
