David Bowie, known for the stage personas of the Thin White Duke and Ziggy Stardust, has vast influence in pop culture, and writer/director James Gunn is among the many creative individuals reminiscing about Bowie's legacy today, after it was announced that he has passed at age early Monday morning after an 18-month battle with cancer. Gunn posted on his official Facebook page about the artist, noting the inclusion of Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" on the "Guardians of the Galaxy" soundtrack. Another song from the album (perhaps "Starman" or "Rebel Rebel") may make its way onto the sequel's soundtrack, too. "I always thought the album's character was felt far beyond that, in the aesthetics, in the integral and seemingly-natural linking in popular culture of '70's rock and space opera," Gunn said. Bowie himself came up in conversation with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige for a cameo role in the film. "Just a very short while ago Kevin Feige and I were talking about a cameo role in Guardians Vol. 2, and he brought up Bowie's name. I told him nothing in the world would make me happier, but I heard from common friends he wasn't doing well," he said. "We heard back that he was okay and it could potentially happen. Who knows what that was about? But, for whatever reason, it made my Twitter revelation [of his passing] more of a surprise."
