A few days ago saw new digital art released for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 by artist Andy Park.
The art features the Guardians battling it out with some sort of alien space creature.
James Gunn was asked about the creature during a Facebook Live event and offered details.
“What is the name of the alien monster in the promo art? That’s an Abilisk. A multi-dimensional being. The Guardians have been hired to fight him,” Gunn said.
Mention of the creature being multi-dimensional is rather interesting as Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson also mentioned dimensions noting that Doctor Strange was the start of the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse and teased “other-dimensional psychotropic violence” for the film. It’s also been confirmed that Dormammu, another extra-dimensional being, will be in Doctor Strange.
Fans of the Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning Guardians of the Galaxy 2008 comic book series should also recollect that the Guardians battled extra-dimensional creatures from The Fault and the Cancerverse, which came to a head in Ream of Kings and the highly fan-favorite and critical hit The Thanos Imperative.
It would be pretty cool if Marvel’s Phase 3 films with Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War led to Marvel’s Phase 4 with The Avengers 4 battling some of those extra-dimensional beings — or even alternate versions of themselves.
Ant-Man even featured a different dimension of sorts with the Quantum Realm.
Check out Gunn’s Facebook Live post below.

Prior to Chris Evans landing the role of Steve Rogers, John Krasinski was up for the role of Captain America.
Krasinki appears on Conan O’Brien tonight where he talks about screen testing for Cap.
Watch the video below where John Krasinki says Marvel let him put on the suit, and then Thor himself Chris Hemsworth walked by!
I think Krasinki was also up to play Star-Lord.
Conan O’Brien airs weekdays at 11pm ET on TBS.
A new batch of Thor: Ragnarok set images confirms previous rumors surrounding Odin.
More images of Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston on the streets of NYC (filmed in Australia) have hit the net in addition to pics of Anthony Hopkins who is shown looking like a street person.
The Thor: Ragnarok rumor stated Odin has fled to Earth where he wanders around as a “end is near” crazy-looking street-corner hobo warning of the coming Apocalypse (Ragnarok).
Check out the pics below.
Other Thor: Ragnarok rumors included:
• Hela might replace Death in the MCU (which may mean Thanos is in love with Hela and the two battle the Marvel heroes in Avengers Infinity War).
• Hela and Loki’s plan (currently unknown) will have well been underway before Thor realizes what’s going on.
• It’s said Hela is responsible for an incident which leads Thor on a journey in the film.
• Thor gets banished from Asgard.
• Hela destroys Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir.
• Hela teams up with Loki
• Hela destroys Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir
• Thor gets banished to a gladiator world (Sakaar in the comics)
• Thor shaves his head and is forced to fight for his life in the arena (minus Mjolnir)
• Thor manages to defeat all his opponents
• Thor then has to face the champion of the arena – the Hulk
• It’s said the Hulk has not reverted back to Banner in a while which causes the Banner personality to seep out (it’s also unknown how Hulk got to the the planet)
• Hulk/Banner remembers Thor, leading the two to team up and head back to take on Hela and Loki
“Thor: Raganarok” has a November 3, 2017 release directed by Taika Waititi starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk/Banner, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Idris Elba as Heimdall, Cate Blanchett as Hela, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster and Anthony Hopkins as Odin.

It looks as if that Doctor Strange movie LEGO set may be valid as now Thor: Ragnarok set images reveal a connection to the Sorcerer Supreme.
Set pics out of Australia feature Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth on the streets of NYC where a set pic features Thor holding what is the address of Doctor Strange: 177A Bleecker Street. In the Marvel Comics, the address is the location of Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum in Greenwich Village.
Obviously we can speculate Thor and Loki are in NYC to find Doctor Strange for some reason, which may mean Benedict Cumberbatch will be featured in a cameo role in Thor: Ragnarok.
Director Taika Waititi retweeted the images below.
