We’re The Guardians of the Galaxy, Bitch
Mark Hamill may be joining Chris Pratt and company in James Gunn’s next outing of the Guardians of the Galaxy. I don’t know that he’s going to be, or that he would be playing Luke Skywalker. Okay, well, I know he won’t be playing Luke Skywalker. But after his ignominious send-off in The Last Jedi, it will be nice to see Mark Hamill in some fun sci-fi/fantasy again.
Mark Hamill Should Be Adam Warlock!
And say what you will about GoTG or GoTG2, I found both of them more watchable and engaging and less generally offensive than The Last Jedi. But the one thing I liked about The Last Jedi was Mark Hamill’s performance as he did everything an actor could possibly do to make Rian Johnson and company’s poorly-written version of Luke complete his poorly-conceived arc. Put another way: Rian and company did not do their jobs on that movie, or did a very bad job of doing their jobs, but Mark Hamill still managed to create a performance that knocked it out of the park.
So while I’m not excited about seeing another Star Wars film churned out by the current stewards of that once-beloved franchise, I’m very interested in seeing Mark Hamill in space again.
Anyhoo, it’s still very nascent, mostly just a Twitter thing now (Twitter = News in 2018!):
@JamesGunn, could you do me a huge favour and find a role for @HamillHimself in Guardians 3? The awesomeness of it might end me, but I’m willing to risk it. Thanks ??

I went to bed after tweeting and I wake up to this!!! Guys, I'm not gonna ask for much. Maybe a walk on part and a couple of tickets for the premiere? Seriously, don't want to be greedy. (If you both followed me on here, it'd be a slice of awesomeness in advance ?)

I would be happy to do so, both as a good neighbor & an unemployed actor.
All the best, mh— Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) February 26, 2018
DM me for my contact info if you're serious.

Mark Hamill must play Adam Warlock now. That is all

I would love to see Hamill do Adam Warlock. Definitely want to see him in the next GoTG3.
Many have made the point the Guardians of the Galaxy is Star Wars for the next generation. I don’t disagree, and would love to see some old faces from the OT to “hand the baton” in a proper manner . . . as opposed to what The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi gave us.
What do you think?
