Another Elusive ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Easter Egg Uncovered
Back in September of 2015, directorJames Gunnsaid that the originalGuardians of the Galaxyhad an Easter egg somewherein the movie that had yet to be discovered. Over a year later, fans hadn’t been able to find it, and they were skeptical as to whether it even existed. But Gunn told one fan online if the Easter egg didn’t exist thathe would give them $100,000. So we’re taking his word for it.
However, today an elusive Easter egg that had not yet been found inGuardians of the Galaxywas discovered. But did James Gunn confirm whether or not this was the big Easter egg that fans have been looking for years now?
The New Guardians of the Galaxy Easter Egg
Stan Lee’s cameo in guardians. Two things. Firstly, the circled alien text spells ‘Excelsior!’ Secondly, that’s the SKRULL LANGUAGE! Haven’t seen this spoken about anywhere else.@JamesGunn@MarvelStudiospic.twitter.com/IHRE5LGwoO

As you’re able to see, Twitter user @DanActual (viaComicBook.com) took notice of some of the holographic text that appears on screen when Rocket Raccoon is looking around Xandar for a new bounty. The text circled in the images is the Skrull language, and when translated, it saysStan Lee’s signature catchphrase “Excelsior!” So have fans finally uncovered the final Easter egg inGuardians of the Galaxy? James Gunn responded on Twitter:
And there you have it. Even though it’s not the Easter egg fans have been looking for (and this isn’t thefirst time they’ve come away disappointed), it proves that there are still some that fans have yet to notice. That means they have to keep searching for that one special Easter egg. Perhaps it’s an Easter egg that is staring us right in the face, and we’ll all kick ourselves for having missed it. Oh, and don’t forget that there’sanother hard-to-find Easter egginGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
