Browncoats beware…do not read on if you wish to be surprised at Nathan Fillion’s cameo role in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy 2…but sorry ladies, the character is not “Captain Tightpants”…
Per ComicBook.com, Fillion will play the role of Simon Williams, also known as Wonder Man. In the comics, Williams is a reformed villain who joins the Avengers, later retired as a superhero and became an actor. From some location shoots, it can be seen that a theater features a Simon Williams film festival with a number of movie posters, with one very interesting one – a biopic for one Tony Stark. The irony is that Williams previously ran Williams Innovations, a munitions manufacturer that was a competitor to Stark Industries.
How his character biography will fit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or how a scene based on Earth will for that matter, remains to be seen.
