Many of you guessed that Pom Klementieff had been cast as Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2, and it turns out that you were right! In their story about the relatively unknown actress joining the James Gunn helmed sequel, Deadline confirms that their sources have told them that she'll take on the role of the character first introduced in the pages of Avengers #112 way back in 1973. Her origin (she's a half-Vietnamese, half-German martial arts expert with links to the Kree) is muddled to say the least, so it's easy to imagine Gunn completely reinventing that for this big screen take on the character. Mantis first became associated with the Guardians back in 2007 and has played a key role in many of their adventures since. With fans and moviegoers alike crying out for more strong female characters in these superhero movies, this is a great choice by Marvel and Gunn, don't you think? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts on this casting news in the usual place.
