bullet::::- pom klementieff as mantis: a member of the guardians with empathic powers who lives with ego. executive producer jonathan schwartz said the character "has never really experienced social interaction", and learns about "social intricacies" from the other guardians. klementieff added, "she was really lonely and by herself, so it's a completely new thing to meet these people and to discover new things", comparing this to a child making awkward mistakes in social situations. mantis and drax have an "interesting" relationship in the film due to both being "complete odd balls". steve englehart, mantis's co-creator, was disappointed with the character's portrayal, saying, "that character has nothing to do with mantis ... i really don't know why you would take a character who is as distinctive as mantis is and do a completely different character and still call her mantis."
