The most recent sequel of the space avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2, just hit theaters. And now is probably a good time to ask the next obvious question: who will eventually join the team?

The sequel already gave us some new members, but there are way more members than you may have thought. Heck, even characters like Iron Man and Agent Venom have joined!
