Heroic Hollywood claims that Flanagan will play the role of Yondu's right hand man. The group of mercenaries and thieves' part in "Guardians of the Galaxy" follow-up allegedly involves putting a bounty on Rocket Raccoon's head. As for Flanagan's role in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," there's not much known about it yet except for the rumor that his character's loyalty lies with Yondu. How that plays out in the sequel remains to be seen. Director James Gunn also posted a photo featuring what seems to be a part of a Ravager warrior's costume showing the insignia of the space pirate group. The filmmaker captioned the photo "I bleed the flames."

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" will center on Peter Quill's parentage. In his Ravager logo post, he once again clarified that J'son of Spartax, who happens to be Star-Lord's father in the comics, "is not Peter's father in the MCU."
So it looks like fans will have to keep guessing until "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" hits the big screen on May 5, 2017.
