Mantis Co-Creator Not a Fan of Guardians 2’s Take on the Character
Mantis co-creator Steve Englehart isn't a fan of the way the character is depicted in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
In an interview with Polygon, Englehart revealed that the character in the Marvel sequel "has nothing to do with Mantis." Even though Englehart enjoyed the film and thought "the Mantis on the screen was entertaining," he still couldn't ignore the film's wildly different interpretation of her.
"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," said Englehart. "I liked her, but that’s not Mantis."

"I think it's pretty unrealistic, given we're an online-only game, right? The Switch, because it's a portable - and I love my Switch, I've got Breath of the Wild here, I've got it with me. It's incredible, I love the console, but in terms of where it's at, I don't want leave anyone with the possibility of, like, 'it's a thing we'll consider, maybe next year.' There's no plans right now for Switch."
