"I did talk to David Bowie's people about him being in a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy," Gunn said. "It would have been as one of the Ravagers, along with Michelle Yeoh and Ving Rhames and Sylvester Stallone and Michael Rosenbaum, but, unfortunately, David Bowie passed away."
Gunn featured Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" in the Guardians of the Galaxy, and has detailed how the legendary musician influenced his film career. There were no Bowie songs featured on the soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but the song "Suffragette City" was used for a TV spot.
