If a character is in film, they have to have a reason to be there story-wise,” the Guardians of the Galaxy director added. “I don’t mind actual cameos – if it’s a glimpse or a moment, an Easter egg. What bothers me is when they mangle an elegant story by shoehorning characters in – they aren’t there because the story calls for it, but for some other reason.”
