One of the stars of Crazy Rich Asians, Nico Santos, will be in the epic Marvel movie.
In an exciting development for queer representation in the MCU and for fans of sitcom Superstore, Nico is set o appear in the third movie in the Guardians of the Galaxy series in an undisclosed role.
The director of the movie James Gunn even referenced Nico’s engagement to Zeke Smith when announcing his involvement in the movie which we reported on when it happened back in April.
