Who Is "Star-Munch"?

As per Screenrant, the new TV spot released for "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" showcases a roll call of the main Guardians, Drax, Baby Groot, Gamora, Rocket, and Star-Lord. The TV spot released by Marvel also showcases Rocket's new favorite nickname for Peter Quill, which is "Star-Munch," may allude to his love for eating or may be a watered down version of what Rocket really wanted to say. The film is known to contain language that isn't appropriate for the younger crowd.

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is slated to make it to the big screen this May 5. The film brings back Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel, alongside Karen Gillan and Michael Rooker as the new band of Guardians.
