** Creator/GlennClose was initially attached to reprise her role as Nova Prime, but James Gunn decided against it as he was trying to cram her into the movie rather than have her appear organically.
** James Gunn wanted Music/DavidBowie to haveits own section on an appearance in Yondu's crew, but the latter's illness and death prevented that from happening. He then planned to again include a Bowie song in the soundtrack (in this case "Suffragette City"), but for unknown reasons it didn't make the final cut.
** Along with Mantis, Gunn initially planned to have ComicBook/AdamWarlock join the team; he cut Warlock because of the already large number of subplots and character arcs, and this didn't make it past the treatment phase. It would later be confirmed that Warlock would get RefittedForSequel with the third film in the series, TheStinger for ''Vol. 2'' likely the set up for his later appearance [[spoiler:where Ayesha and the Sovereign, having played a role in creating him in the comics, are planning on using him as a weapon against the team]].

Gunn explained these changes came because he couldn't make the story work as he'd originally intended; Baby Groot ultimately became the connecting tissue of the film's core theme, FamilyOfChoice, and helped him develop the RagtagBunchOfMisfits' growth as not just colleagues but as a family unit. He still grows, however, as a credits scene shows him matured into a [[DeadpanSnarker teenager]] and appears this way in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' [[spoiler:and ''Film/AvengersEndgame'']].

This may have inspired a scene where Ego, [[spoiler: his true colors revealed]], briefly shifts into the form of Creator/DavidHasselhoff, Peter having claimed as a child that David Hasselhoff was his dad.
** The early designs for Mantis had green skin and a more insect-like appearance, but James Gunn decided to have her look more human, as she did in the original ''Avengers'' comics she first appeared in.
** The Stan Lee cameo was originally a bit different -- [[spoiler:he was originally going to talk about the time [[Film/Deadpool2016 he was a DJ at a strip club]], which would have taken his meta cameo even further by suggesting that he plays the same character across ''all'' Marvel adaptations, becoming HilariousInHindsight when Disney bought Fox, and therefore the rights to the Fox-owned Marvel properties such as Deadpool]].
** Had Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox not allowed Creator/MarvelStudios to use Ego, it's quite possible the film would have been ''very'' different, given Marvel didn't realize they didn't have the film rights to the character until production was about to start.

* DisownedAdaptation: Steve Englehart was NOT happy with the portrayal of Mantis, as he didn't see her as the character he created. (The film based Mantis as she was during the 2008 Abnett and Lanning run, where she was something of a spacey, oddball precog and emotion manipulator, not her original incarnation as the willful and seductive Celestial Madonna.)

** Ego shows the Guardians and Mantis a monument of Peter Quill single-handedly saving the universe during the Battle of Xandar. Peter loves it, saying that's exactly how it happened much to Gamora's annoyance. Rocket and Groot are shown to be nothing more than a blob with a face (with the other being absent) while Drax is depicted as a small chimp-like creature (causing Drax to assume he actually looked like that at the time and cannot work out how he didn't notice).
