James Gunn spends much of his time on Twitter debunking rumors and fan suggestions about his Marvel and DC projects. With Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special only a week away, fans have questioned the new DC Studios CEO about his penultimate Marvel Studios offering. Marvel fans have a host of characters that they “predict” will turn up in every new Marvel release, and one that is turning up in more and more theories is Silver Surfer.

Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will be the second seasonal Special Presentation delivered by Marvel this year, following the success of Werewolf by Night, and it promises to be a rip-roaring festive adventure. However, just as fans are discovering that Doctor Doom did not turn up in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Gunn has been managing expectations when it comes to Silver Surfer dropping in on the Guardians in their new story. When a Twitter user claimed to have seen the Holiday Special and shared a picture of the Surfer while telling everyone to “watch the post credit scene for a silver surprise,” Gunn stepped in with a short, sharp denial.

The user followed up on Gunn’s post, noting that they had put out the statement to see “how quickly it would blow up.” With so many similar sites attempting to spread “reactions” to get interaction on social media, it is often hard to work out which to believe. However, regarding James Gunn’s projects, the writer/director is always on hand to shut down any rumors that don’t make the grade.

Who Will Appear in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special?

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will see the return of the regular Guardians team before they zoom off toward their final movie together next year. This means we will see Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, and Sean Gunn all back and feeling in the Christmas spirit, while the Special Presentation will also feature Maria Bakalova in her debut as the voice of Cosmo the Space Dog, but it is the inclusion of Kevin Bacon playing a fictional version of himself that has many fans excited.

Part of the one-shot piece will revolve around Dave Bautista’s Drax and Pom Klementieff’s Mantis traveling to Earth in order to bring Starlord something that will cheer him up. It seems that the best thing to this, will be Kevin Bacon aka Earth’s Greatest Hero. This leads to the pair attempting to kidnap Bacon, which from the trailer, doesn’t go without a hitch.

The inclusion of Kevin Bacon has many Marvel fans hoping for a dance-off between Bacon and Starlord, and you can’t have the Footloose star being worshiped by Starlord without there being a dance-off somewhere along the line. Whether that does go down will be revealed very soon when the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special hits Disney+ on November 25.
