Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 made a big change to Star-Lord’s origins by ditching his lineage from the comics and making him the son of Ego the Living Planet instead. In the source material, Peter Quill is the child of J’Son, ruler of the Spartax Empire, but this character was completely deleted from the MCU. At one stage, though the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise nearly brought him to the screen.
Fascinating new book The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (via ScreenRant) has confirmed that J’Son was Star-Lord’s dad in the original script for the 2014 movie. Before James Gunn came aboard, Nicole Perlman (who is still credited in the finished film) penned a version of the screenplay that saw Peter find out he was really alien royalty. However, it was Avengers director Joss Whedon, who was still in a key overseeing role at Marvel at the time, urged the studio to ditch this concept and go in a different direction.
