Ego (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

"I call it "The Expansion". It is my purpose, and now it is yours as well. Over thousands of years I implanted thousands of extensions of myself on thousands of worlds. I need to fulfil life's one true purpose, to grow and spread, covering all that exists until everything is... me!"

- Ego reveals his intentions to Peter

Ego, also known as Ego the Living Planet, is the main antagonist of the 2017 Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Ego is a Celestial and the father of Star-Lord, who despite what he had seemed is truly a ruthless and terrifyingly evil monster who desires to expand himself over the entire universe, which would mean the destruction of all live in it.

He is portrayed by legendary actor Kurt Russell, who also portrayed Stuntman Mike.
