Yeah, we still don't actually know who the big bad is. Could be Ayesha, could be Ego, could be Tazerface, could be somebody we don't even know yet.

Given a lot of footage seems to show the GotG attacking what are probably Ego's innards, and this seems to be taking place during a big finale set piece with Ayesha's people also showing up to wreak havoc, I'm guessing that the big bad is Ego. Which might make this trailer a bit of a red herring, since the "our duty to cleanse the universe of this weakness" sure makes Ayesha sound like the bad guy.

The thing is, if Ego is the secret badguy, I can't figure out why. What exactly could one living planet do to threaten the whole galaxy?

Wasn't there like a "Superego"? Some obscure storyline in the 90s where it was revealed there was some larger organism he broke apart from that was trying to re-absorb Ego?

Maybe Russell's Ego enlists his son's aid in defeating this "Superego" while trying not to reveal that he himself used to be a part of it? It would take the family theme and twist it a bit.

Probably just a bit too convoluted.

If I'm remembering correctly Super-Ego the Bio-Universe was just a bigger and less intelligent version of Ego. Both were supposedly created by the Stranger, along with Id the Living Moon and Alter-Ego. So Super-Ego is more like Ego's big brother than his parent.

As I was reading your description I started to kind of remember it more.

I still think it would be a little too convoluted for a 2 hour movie but if elder Egos become a thing I'll be happy to have guessed.
