“We didn’t cast Harry for a tag,” Moore shared with Deadline. “(There’s) more stories to be told with that character. He has an interesting connection with Thanos; they’re half-brothers and share the same father.”
He added, “He’s a complicated character, but a really fun character.”
The intergalactic nature of the character would make it seem most likely that Starfox would make a return in some sort of adventure that takes place beyond the world of terrestrial heroes, such as the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Director James Gunn, however, shot down that theory pretty firmly last year.
When asked by Extra about a Starfox appearance, Gunn clearly confirmed, “Nope … I’m setting the record straight. Starfox doesn’t pop up.”
Not only is it potentially a challenge finding the right way to incorporate Starfox in a longer story, but the fact that Styles is such a sought-after and busy performer also presents some complications. While a number of other members of the MCU are busy enough in their own right with acting opportunities, Styles’ impressive musical career also keeps him quite busy. When discussing his future with Marvel last summer, he noted that he thought it would be quite some time before he found the opportunity to appear in another movie.
“It’d be funny if that was it, wouldn’t it?” Styles joked with Rolling Stone about his cameo being his only appearance as Starfox. As far as when he’ll return to the role, he confirmed, “I don’t imagine I’d do a movie for a while.”
Stay tuned for details on Styles’ return as Starfox.
