Amazon have recently revealed a new storefront for the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and a potential spoiler may have just been revealed! With merchandise being broken down by each specific heroe there seems to be one character who’s name sticks out like a sore thumb – Darkhawk.
Who’s that you say? Well he’s an obscure character who was created in the 90’s that occasionally teamed up with the New Warriors and Loners aka Exceisor. Gaining powers from a mysterious amulet which allowed him to transform into the powerful Darkhawk, he was able to fight crime using energy blasts, night vision and a claw cable which was at his disposal.
The character’s direction changed over time as he became involved with cosmic events in which he found himself becoming the universe’s most wanted man.

Now obviously there’s no guarantee that he’ll be appearing in the movie. Afterall, the only merchandise that is linked to his name is a Marvel Legends action figure which is far from confirmation. It’s interesting however that his name appears on the storefront instead of a character like Nebula who was already so prominent in the first movie. With James Gunn teasing that his favourite character would be appearing in the sequel over a year ago could he have been referring to Darkhawk?
Well I suppose the only way we’ll find out is when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits theaters on April 25th, 2017.
Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.
