Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 Casts Newcomer Pom Klementieff
It looks as though ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ has found its first new cast member… as newcomer Pom Klementieff joins the upcoming Marvel sequel.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 29-year-old French-Canadian actress has signed up for the upcoming ‘Guardians’ sequel.
“Relative unknown Pom Klementieff has nabbed one of the new key roles in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy 2,” they reveal. “James Gunn is also back as director and writer for the follow-up, which has a release date of May 5, 2017.”

Pom Klementieff has mostly worked in French cinema, with a respectable string of French films under her belt. But she’s perhaps best known for the role of Haeng-Bok in Spike Lee’s recent remake of Japanese revenge-thriller, ‘Oldboy’.
But who will she be playing? It seems that remains under wraps…
“Marvel conducted a wide search for its mystery part, which called for an Asian actress, and did several rounds of chemistry reads.”
Quite what that part will be, and how she will fit into the already stellar cast remains to be seen. And at this stage, we don’t even know whether she’ll take a villainous role, or tag along with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ stars Chris Pratt as Starlord, with Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, with Bradley Cooper voicing Rocket and Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ heads to cinemas on 5 May 2017.
