James Gunn confirmed Sylvester Stallone and released the full trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy 2, which gives us our first look at Pom Klementieff as Mantis.
The new Guardians of the Galaxy 2 footage reveals that Mantis does have psychic abilities, as in the comics Mantis is telepathic, telekinetic, has pyrokinetic abilities and is also a skilled martial artist. In the 2008 Guardians of the Galaxy comic that inspired the movie, Mantis was actually responsible for forming the team — by manipulating their minds at the request of Star-Lord.
Pom Klementieff has also been active on her Instragram account possibly training for The Avengers: Infinity War. See below.
We've also put together over 100 images from the new Guardians of the Galaxy 2 trailer.
