An ‘Avengers’ star makes a surprise return in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,’ confirms James Gunn

The three-time MCU veteran is back once again.

James Gunn has made them the latest cast-member lucky enough to play more than one Marvel Studios role.

After the release of Linda Cardellini.

Cardellini is of course more familiar to Marvel viewers as Laura Barton, wife of Clint, first appearing in Avengers: Age of Ultron, again in the aforementioned Endgame, and then most recently in Hawkeye. Her hiring as Lylla likely had nothing to do with her prior Marvel work as she and Gunn have been friends for a long time, having first worked together on the Gunn-scripted Scooby-Doo live-action films of the early 2000s, in which the actress played Velma.

Given her incredibly emotive performance in just this short clip, we’ve no doubt that Cardellini was the best person for the job, with the fun MCU crossover of her casting just being an additional perk to please MCU nerds. We’ll hear her full portrayal of Lylla when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 enters theaters from May 5.
