The website reports that Feige blurted out the name while explaining the shooting schedule for GotG 2.
"We start shooting Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 in February-March 2016," he said.
Though the title doesn't reveal much about what anxious fans can look forward in the next year or so, the name does play on the Guardians' famous mix-tape labeled, "Awesome Mix Vol. 1," a key plot point in the first action blockbuster.
At first, Feige shied away from admitting the slip, but the film's co-writer and director, James Gunn confirmed it on Twitter Monday, saying, "Yes, the official title for the @Guardians sequel is GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2. Nice detective work, @colliderfrosty, etc! You got us!"
