Posted July 15, 2012 Confirmed for release and I think as a fully CGI film. I dont know much about them because I dont read much Marvel but gaf are going nuts over it. I'll have to check it out. Out August 1, 2014 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2012 The fact Rocket Racoon is going to be in a movie makes the last few meh Marvel films totally worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2012 Will this be in the same "universe" as the other Marvel films? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2012 I think I heard it will be its own seperate film. Artwork looks cool. Seems to be the same artist that did the large Avengers character banner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2012 What the? Ok I know I don't regualarly read comics, but I like to think I am at least aware of most characters that could be considered "minor" while I somehow know a fair bit about major characters despite not buying the books But I gotta say I have NEVER heard of this "team" or any of these characters? So WTF is this? According to this article this could very well be part of "Phase Two" and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as apparently these guys have ties to Thanos so they could be using these guys to set up Thanos before Avengers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Yeah this film was revealed along with the other Phase 2 films... though I guess that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be part of The Avengers. But using it to introduce Thanos' character/background could be a very good idea, so that they don't have to spend any time going there in Avengers 2. I'm not sure I'd like any of these characters in Avengers 2 though... I personally wouldn't want too much relience on CGI characters.

Posted July 16, 2012 GotG are very very unmainstream...me with all my gargantuan Marvel knowledge and I know very few/what they do/why they exist/what their mission statement is. Rocket Racoon was in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 though. I like that it's getting a film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 16, 2012 There's some form of raccoon with a gun. Okay... tying this into the same universe as Captain America and Iron Man... could be tough, But they managed to get Thor involved so perhaps this can somehow fit in. As many people have said though, yeah, not heard of this team before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 16, 2012 So basically this is The Avengers but for hipsters? Theres something 'of the Starfox' about rocket raccoon.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure I'd like any of these characters in Avengers 2 though... I personally wouldn't want too much relience on CGI characters. That could be what makes the most sense, using it more as a "Thanos" movie and having just him be in Avengers 2 and none of the actual Gaurdians team. Characters like the Hulk you can get away with and it obviously worked in the Avengers but things like Rocket Racoon and the tree looking guy would see so out of place standing next to Iron Man and the others. The other 3 in the artwork pic might work as they are more "humaniod" and could be done with proper actors in costumes/make-up instead of CGI. But still yeah depending how this turns out at the moment hopefully just they are using this as a Thanos intro movie to build him up for Avengers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay... tying this into the same universe as Captain America and Iron Man... could be tough, But they managed to get Thor involved so perhaps this can somehow fit in. As many people have said though, yeah, not heard of this team before? At least Thor is 'human' though... it was more the magical element of the Thor universe they managed to bring in so well. Having Cap look down at the floor and talking to a 2ft tall raccoon with a gun would indeed be a giant facepalm! Still, hopefully we can trust Marvel enough by now to know what they're doing! I'm excited for this film however, because the characters look pretty cool and it's a new universe! But one that they need to be very careful with introducing into their current movie universe!

Posted August 17, 2012 http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/08/17/guardians-of-the-galaxy-plot-rumors Guardians of the Galaxy Plot Rumors A purported plot synopsis for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy movie has popped up online, one that was met with "no comment" when we inquired with Marvel parent company Disney about its veracity. It's on The Grid posted the following alleged log line for Guardians of the Galaxy: "About a U.S. pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone wants." The script for Guardians of the Galaxy is currently being rewritten by Chris McCoy. Guardians of the Galaxy opens August 1, 2014. So trying to make sense of Guardians of the Galaxy I take it this US Fighter Pilot is Starlord? http://marvel.wikia.com/Peter_Quill_(Earth-616) The title establishes that Peter Quill is born during an unusual astronomical phenomenon when many of the planets align. Seeing no resemblance, the man who believed he was Quill's father angrily accused his wife Meredith of infidelity and attempts to kill the infant, but dies of a sudden heart attack. Quill is raised by his single mother until she is killed by an alien. The character is placed in an orphanage but escapes and eventually becomes a trainee NASA astronaut. An alien entity called the Master of the Sun eventually visits the space station that Quill and other astronauts are currently inhabiting, and offers the mantle of Star Lord (an interplanetary policeman) to a worthy candidate, Quill volunteers, but is rejected in favour of a colleague he once treated badly. Quill is outraged, and NASA orders his return to Earth and discharge for his conduct. The character, however, steals a scoutship, and on returning to the space station takes his colleague's place. Quill is then chosen to become Star-Lord, with the Master of the Sun first creating an illusion in which the character is able to find and kill the aliens that murdered his mother to free him of his past. Equipped with a sentient vessel called "Ship", Quill commences his role as Star-Lord. Maybe only Starlord will carry on over into The Avengers 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
