'Guardians of the Galaxy 2' News: Newer Character, Phyla, Could Be Featured In Next Movie In Small Cameo As Hero To Help Team, Could Be Expanded Later [VIDEO]
Is there the possibility of a tie-in between DC Comics and Marvel? It would not be a big one, but the son of an upcoming DC hero could be set to join the next Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

The character, Phyla-Vell, is the daughter of Captain Marvel, who has been recently renamed Shazam!. Of course, the character was just recently set-up for a DC movie with Dwayne Johnson.
In the comics, while helping Drax search for Cammi, an Earth girl who he had taken into space before the Annihilation War, they consult a psychic to get a lead on Cammi's whereabouts only to be informed that Moondragon, Drax's daughter, was trying to contact them. They attempt to consult Mentor, who apparently kills them. Mentor sends Phyla and Drax to Oblivion where they encounter Maelstrom and the Dragon of the Moon.
Is The New Hero Team Going To Influence The 'Captain America 3' Title & Plot?
After losing the Quantum Bands to Maelstrom Phyla is offered as a sacrifice to the Dragon so that Maelstrom can be in its good graces. While inside the dragon she apparently makes a deal in exchange for Heather Douglas. The dragon then releases them, with Phyla wearing a new red and black costume adorned with skulls and wielding a new sword, and they return to the world of the living where Phyla refuses to elaborate on the deal that she made with the Dragon.
It is later learned from Maelstrom that she agreed to become the new avatar of Oblivion.
The character could be a little weird, but could also be a nice compliment to the team and be able to tie into Moondragon and the possible storyline about Drax and his daughter.
Guardians 2 is set to open in theaters on July 26, 2017.
