CLEVELAND, Ohio --Marvel Studios has jealously guarded against the release of information about the upcoming "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," and details about Ego the Living Planet -- a character played by Kurt Russell -- are especially sparse.

But an image the leaked over the weekend may provide some insight into Ego's appearance, at least when he's in human form.

The picture -- posted on Imgur -- shows a bearded Russell dressed in grey, sporting a black cape.

Director James Gunn already let fans know that Ego will end up being protagonist Star Lord's father, perhaps ruining at least one surprise.

But another surprise remains: what will Ego look like when he's a giant planet?

Ego has served as both hero and villain through the years, having aided and battled Thor, the Silver Surfer and the Fantastic Four.

It remains unclear what side he'll be on in the movie.
