Sean Gunn, the actor portraying Kraglin, has been quite chatty lately and he had a lot to share about the Ravagers and Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper).

In an interview with ComicBook.com, Gunn revealed that the film would begin a few months after the first movie and the Ravagers are starting to question why Yondu (Michael Rooker) didn't go after Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) after he found out the former Ravager switched the Infinity Stone with a troll doll.

"There's a little rumbling amongst the Ravagers, like, 'Where does Yondu's allegiance lay here? Is he going soft on Quill?' So, the Ravagers have to make a decision of what they're gonna do about Yondu and I think Kraglin is a key part of that," he said.

It will be interesting to see who Kraglin sides with. Will he stay loyal to Yondu or is he one of the rebel Ravagers who take up arms with Taserface (Chris Sullivan) to displace Yondu from his leadership role?

Besides Kraglin, Gunn also brings Rocket to life with his motion capture work, and he talked about the struggles Rocket will go through in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2."

"There are a few relationships that are central to the theme of the movie and that really go towards keeping a family... and Rocket has the same sort of crisis of faith about whether or not he belongs in this family," the actor said.

Gunn said his brother, director James Gunn, has talked about how the first movie was about family, while the sequel would be more about the struggle of maintaining a family.

Besides Star-Lord, Rocket, Yondu, and Kraglin, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" will also feature Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel), and Nebula (Karen Gillan). Furthermore, the sequel will introduce new characters like Mantis (Pom Klementieff), Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki), and Ego the Living Planet (Kurt Russell).

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is set to premiere on May 5, 2017.
