Why Mark Hamill Could Be In The GOTG Holiday Special

Mark Hamill in Star Wars The Last Jedi

Speculation about Mark Hamill being in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is not completely unfounded. The actor previously expressed his interest in wanting to join the franchise, leading to rumors that he would be in Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Mark Hamill and James Gunn are neighbors and have met in person to discuss a potential collaboration. Instead of giving Hamill a major MCU role, though, it is possible Gunn included him as a drunken Santa-type character in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special as a fun surprise.

Mark Hamill's role in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special would also be a fun way to acknowledge the often maligned Star Wars Holiday Special. The 1978 TV special starred Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford but received such a poor reception that it never re-aired or has been re-released. Hamill appearing in Marvel's first Christmas special would be a clever way for him to get another shot to be in a Holiday Special, with this one receiving much more positive reviews.

While it is possible that this unnamed cast member in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is Mark Hamill, there is also the chance that it is someone else entirely who happens to bare a striking resemblance to him. Fans will have to wait until either James Gunn or Mark Hamill addresses the theories to know for certain if he appeared. If so, Mark Hamill's The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special cameo will certainly delight even more viewers.
