According to a recent report from Deadline, Melchior will appear in the film in some capacity. She will not be playing Moondragon, however, a character that many fans had speculated her to play despite director James Gunn denying the rumor. Deadline also noted that although Melchior will be in Volume 3, she is not the “unannounced actor” that James Gunn has been teasing to appear in the upcoming film, with that person still remaining a mystery.
Melchior rose to fame after appearing as Cleo Cazo — also known as Ratcatcher 2 — in the 2021 film The Suicide Squad. Melchior is also set to appear in both 2023’s Fast X, and the 2024 follow-up Fast & Furious 11.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is once again written and directed by Gunn. It features the return of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Sean Gunn, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel as they reprise their respective roles as Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Kraglin, Nebula, Mantis, Rocket, and Groot. Joining them are MCU newcomers Will Poulter and Chukwudi Iwuji, with Poulter confirmed to be playing the role of Adam Warlock. Before the space-traveling team makes their return to the big screen, their Disney+ holiday special is expected to be released later this year.
