She turned heads when she starred as the titular character's daughter in Borat 2 and now Maria Bakalova is ready to play another eyebrow-raising role. It was confirmed by Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn at Comic-Con that the actress will play none other than Cosmo the Space Dog. Yes, we're very serious.

While previewing the movie during the Marvel Studios panel in Hall H, Bakalova joined the cast and gave some insight into her take on the astronaut dog. "I couldn't be more honored to join the MCU," she said. "I feel like I'm doing something meaningful and hopeful and I hope you love Cosmo because she's gonna bring lots of laughs and love and a bit of strength."

It was also noted that the actress isn't just voicing the dog but did all of the motion capture work for Cosmo, as well. However, this won't be the pup's first appearance in the MCU. In fact, we first saw Cosmo in the first Guardians of the Galaxy, as she was part of the Collector's collection. She popped up again in the credits of Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 and even figured into an episode of the Disney+ animated series What If…?.
