Michael Rooker Confirms No Red Fin for Yondu

Months ago, we saw pictures from the Guardians of the Galaxy set of Michael Rooker as Yondu, one of the original members of the Guardians in the comics. In those pictures, Yondu is seen without his signature red fin mohawk from the comics. Because of those pictures, many die-hard Galaxians (GotG fans) wondered if the giant red fin would be added in post-production. Now, we have official word from Mr. Michael Rooker himself, from his conversation with Unrendered podcast, that Yondu will not be sporting the red fin.  Thanks to ComicBook.com for the quotes. Check them out below:

“As you can see from some of the photos out there, I’m not in a loincloth. I don’t have a major, major fin thing that goes down my back. We haven’t visually gone with the way that Yondu was in the comics.” 

When asked about the look of the film, Rooker said, “Lovely, beautiful colors. What do you expect? It is a superhero movie. And I hope that you see it, and you’re going to be going ‘I’m going to see this again.’ That’s what I hope."

What do you think about Yondu losing the red fin? Do you think it could have been pulled off? Drop a comment below!
