That Gold Lady is bad news.

A new batch of photos from Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 include the first images of the villainess Ayesha. Played by Elizabeth Debicki, the genetically created cosmic being is described by director James Gunn in ominous tones:

• “Ayesha is the golden High Priestess of a genetically-perfect people called the Sovereign. She’s not a woman to be screwed with – she, and her entire world, are extraordinarily deadly.”

In this new image gallery (which follows the release of this one), we get a good look at Ayesha, her lair, and those who follow her. Plus, more fun Guardians action.

But still no Kurt Russell…

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 opens everywhere on May 5, 2017.
