A new image hints at a character returning to the MCU for a cameo in the highly anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. The festive television film is written and directed by James Gunn and will be released in December 2022 on Disney+. The Holiday Special will bring back Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldaña (Gamora), Bradley Cooper (Rocket), Dave Bautista (Drax), Vin Diesel (Groot), Karen Gillan (Nebula), and Pom Klementieff (Mantis) to tell a story that leads into Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) introduced audiences to the relatively unknown group of unlikely heroes and showcased a vastly different world unseen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe up to that point. The film is full of small details and cameos that only fans with more than a cursory knowledge of Marvel Comics will catch. This includes the cameo of Cosmo the Spacedog, the Russian astronaut dog in the Collector's (Benecio Del Toro) museum on the Knowhere mining colony. After growling at Rocket, the Labrador was released following an explosion by the Power Stone, later licking the Collector's face to the disgust of Howard the Duck.
