Amid the many tributes to David Bowie offered online Monday, following the singer's death of cancer, was one from Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn, who revealed that a cameo appearance from Bowie was at one point under consideration for the movie's 2017 sequel. Gunn wrote on Facebook, "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." Gunn then added, "We heard back that he was okay and it could potentially happen. Who knows what that was about? But, for whatever reason, it made the news more of a surprise."
