MICHAEL ROOKER is All Blue as Yondu - First Look

Actor MICHAEL ROOKER (The Walking Dead) was spotted on the set of Marvel Studios' GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY in all blue as he portrays the classic GOTG character Yondu.


That definitely is Michael Rooker. What I want to see though is that red mohawk/ fin that old-school Yondu used to wear around while kicking alien ass with guys like Major Victory.





Not too shabby looking if you ask me. It just hits all the right things. Again, it could've been better with the mohawk and the bows and arrows but that's just me.
