The intergalactic adventure of the well-loved group of misfits continues with "Guardians of the Galaxy 2," but it looks like they will have to deal with a familiar face once more. 

In a recent Q&A conducted by the blockbuster film's director James Gunn via a blooming broadcasting app called Periscope, the helmer revealed that alien supervillain Nebula will be back with a vengeance in the much awaited sequel of "Guardians of the Galaxy." 

Last time, moviegoers saw the Luphomoid assassin running away to some place unknown after her sister Gamora defeated her. Now, with retribution as her drive and her rage as her weapon, Nebula will strike back harder on the ragtag group. 

A new meteoric peril is coming and the universe needs Star-Lord to once again band together with the gun-toting Rocket Raccoon, treelike-humanoid and cult favorite Groot, the ever-enigmatic Gamora, and revenge-minded Drax the Destroyer to bring Nebula down for good. 

With that premise, "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" sounds action-packed already. However, all those big throwdowns and guaranteed laughs will not be crashing into theaters until May 5, 2017. 

Gunn and Marvel are in the process of stitching the story together and the former will meet with the latter this week to discuss the plans and paint a bigger picture of "Guardians of the Galaxy 2." 

"I turned in my treatment. I'm going in to meet about it Friday and we will start working on the screenplay next week," Gunn said. The director revealed that he and his team already managed to work on 70 pages of the script. 

Finally, Gunn revealed in a separate Periscope Q&A with fans that filming will officially commence in February next year. The team behind "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" will be filming where the movie "Ant-Man" and "Captain America: Civil War" were filmed, which is at Pinewood Atlanta Studios. 

Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper will once again unite to become the universe's only hope from vengeance-driven villains and destruction-loving baddies.
