Daniela Melchior to Appear in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3"

Portuguese actress Daniela Melchior is set to appear in Marvel Studios’ long-awaited and highly-anticipated movie “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”.

Melchior had her Hollywood breakout in James Gunn's "The Suicide Squad" playing Ratcatcher 2, the emotional core of the movie’s team of supervillains, leading her to be one of the most coveted actresses in Hollywood.

Last month, the actress was cast as part of "Fast X", the next installment in the Fast and Furious franchise.

While little is known about her character, the first behind-the-scenes photos of the movie teased she’ll be part of the Toretto family.

Melchior is also set to star in the spy movie "Assassin Club" with Henry Golding, Noomi Rapace, and Sam Neill.

She will also appear in the neo-noir thriller movie "Marlowe", starring with Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, and Jessica Lange.

Gunn has recently wrapped filming on "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" and the "Guardians of the Galaxy" Holiday Special.

The productions will bring back Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Bautista as Drax, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket Raccoon, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, and Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot.

While Gamora’s fate is uncertain after "Avengers: Endgame", Zoë Saldaña is set to return for Volume 3.

Volume 3 will also see Nebula and Mantis getting bigger roles.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” will also star Sylvester Stallone as well as newcomers Will Poulter and Chukwudi Iwuji.

The third installment, directed by American filmmaker James Gunn, began production in November 2021.

Gunn had previously revealed that the upcoming installment will contain a major death.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” is scheduled to debut on May 5, 2023.

The Guardians of the Galaxy franchise launched in 2014 and followed Quill a bounty hunter who steals a powerful orb and finds himself pursued by the ruthless Ronan The Accuser (Lee Pace).

The journey saw him forming an alliance with several misfits – Gamora (Saldana), Rocket (Cooper), Groot ( Diesel), and Drax (Bautista).

The misfits teamed up to save the galaxy after discovering the true power of the orb and the threat it represents to the galaxy.

Mantis was introduced in the Guardians in the second installment, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.

The franchise has gone on to be very successful and a fan-favorite addition to the Marvel cinematic universe (MCU).

Moreover, the Guardians are also set to be featured in “Thor: Love and Thunder“, which debuts on July 8.
