On top of that, Collider, in their report, cited a fan asking the 44-year-old director about the rumblings that "GOTG2" will bring in more female characters. Gunn confirmed that it will have more women but the roster of characters won't include Carol Danvers aka Ms. Marvel. The reason, as revealed, is that he and the writers wanted Peter Quill or Star Lord to be the only earthling in the movie.
Movie Pilot, on the other hand, mentioned Adam Warlock and The Collector to be the most likely new characters to take significant parts in the upcoming film. Warlock would be the leading contender to become Peter Quill's dad after Gunn confirmed it wouldn't be J'Son that is based in the comics.
The other mentioned character is currently stored in a cocooned state in The Collector's store. An ancient being, The Collector travels far and wide to find important "artifacts" from all over the universe. These specimens should then be used to repopulate the universe should there be someone who will be able to destroy it.
