The Suicide Squad's Daniela Melchior Joins Guardians 3 But Not As Moondragon
gamespot.comActor Daniela Melchior will have a «small role» in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3, according to a Deadline report that was subsequently confirmed by writer-director James Gunn. Melchior's role hasn't been revealed yet, but Gunn has reaffirmed that she will not be portraying Moondragon.
Filming wrapped on the trilogy-completing sequel in early May. To mark the occasion, Gunn shared a photo of him with nearly all the main stars--though many noticed that Zoe Saldaña, who plays Gamora, was noticeably missing. Gunn explained at the time he did not post a picture of Saldaña because the only photo he has of her includes an «unannounced actor» that will appear in the film--though, intriguingly, this new report reveals that mystery actor is not Melchior. It's also not Keanu Reeves, as has been widely speculated.
