David Bowie's 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' Cameo Role Revealed by James Gunn

Along with being one of music's biggest icons, David Bowie was also a respected actor. And it turns out that he would've landed a role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (released on May 5, 2017) prior to his untimely passing last January.

Director James Gunn previously stated that he wanted Bowie to star in the Marvel movie, but he recently revealed the specific role he had in mind. “I did talk to David Bowie’s people about him being in a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy,” Gunn said during a Facebook Live Q&A. “It would have been as one of the Ravagers, along with Michelle Yeoh and Ving Rhames and Sylvester Stallone and Michael Rosenbaum, but, unfortunately, David Bowie passed away.”
