While details have been scarce, Gunn recently hinted that the powerful villain Brainiac will be featured in the movie. After weeks of speculation about who would play the role, the part has now been officially cast, and Gunn shared the news with a celebratory message.
Lars Eidinger has officially been confirmed to play Brainiac in the DC Universe.
