Kevin Bacon is making his MCU debut in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special this week, but he has actually been a part of the Marvel lore for many years. Back when the first Guardians of the Galaxy came out in 2014, Kevin Bacon was mentioned as part of the pop culture memories that Peter Quill had from his time as a kid on earth.
Bacon sat down with Yahoo's Kevin Polowy, to talk about his technical big screen debut ahead of his in-person one, and he described what a joy and what a weird experience it was, saying:
"I went to the first Guardians movie on opening weekend. For one thing, It looked great. I had worked with James Gunn, so I wanted to see what he could do with this crazy comic book franchise. So, there I was, all alone in the theater and all of a sudden they're talking about me. That's a pretty out of body experience. Especially when its such a…It's one thing if a drama or a regular comedy does. But, they're in a whole other universe. A whole other world."
I love that Kevin Bacon is actually going to be in the holiday special. The story is so funny, and I love that Bacon has such a great sense of humor about himself. You can check out the whole interview below, and watch The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney+ today.
Kevin Bacon joyfully recalls how he went to see Guardians of the Galaxy and had an "out of body" experience when they started talking about him. He called his wife and made her go see it with him, too.
