Marvel Studios has released a new clip from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 that offers our first look at Sylvester Stallone in the film.

SPOILER WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," in theaters now.

Disney and Marvel Studios have finally released the first "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" clip to feature Sylvester Stallone's hush-hush, and much-talked-about, character in the film.

Having debuted on the Disney-owned ABC (via We Got This Covered), the clip features a salty altercation between Stallone's character -- Stakar aka Starhawk, a Ravager who once banished Yondu for secretly selling child slaves alongside his normal space-pirating duties -- and Michael Rooker's Yondu.

Check out the new clip below.

Director James Gunn recently confirmed that we'll see more of Stallone's character in the future, telling the Toronto Sun, "My plan is to see more of him...I’m not sure about him appearing in Vol. 3, we’ll have to see about that, but it’s our plan to see more of Stallone. Kevin (Feige) and I are working on what is going to become of the Marvel Cosmic Universe and where it’s going to go. We plan to see the rest of them in the future.”

Who's "them," exactly? Well, by now it's been revealed that Stallone's Stakar, along with Yondu, are just two of several "original" Guardians of the Galaxy members that appear in the film. It appears this won't be their last appearance in the MCU...

Written and directed by Gunn, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” will also star Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Vin Diesel as Baby Groot, Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon, Michael Rooker as Yondu Udonta, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Elizabeth Debicki as Ayesha, Chris Sullivan as Taserface, Sean Gunn as Kraglin, Glenn Close as Irani Rael and Stallone’s fellow 80’s icon Kurt Russell as Ego. THe film is currently in theaters nationwide.
