Guardians of the Galaxy
Spoilers & Speculation thread

An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe.
To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power fo the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand – with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.

Tftnt, Fran!

The OP looks so clean unlike the TDW and TWS threads.

Hawthorn · 12-31-2013, 09:57 PM

Sorry I didn't wait for your reply before opening.

Give the OP a few more months and watch it getting fat, too.

**miranstarr** · 12-31-2013, 10:15 PM

Don't worry about it! We just take turns anyway.

At the rate we're going, maybe we'll get to #4 by the time the movie is released.

Hawthorn · 01-01-2014, 07:42 PM

I feel like until TWS isn't released I can't properly focus on any other Marvel movie.

**miranstarr** · 01-01-2014, 07:50 PM

Just a little over 3 months until TWS! Then we can all get ourselves a Rocket Raccoon!

Hawthorn · 01-01-2014, 07:54 PM

You just know that little bastard will be a goldmine for the merchandise.

**miranstarr** · 01-01-2014, 08:25 PM

He'll be swimming in the cash gleefully.

Hawthorn · 01-01-2014, 08:36 PM

That one plushie you posted in the next thread was already too adorable to resist, and I didn't even care at all then.

**miranstarr** · 01-01-2014, 08:45 PM

It's always the plushies that will get you.

Hawthorn · 01-01-2014, 09:08 PM

The sentient tree is next, right?

**miranstarr** · 01-02-2014, 04:49 PM

Maybe. He's not as cute.

Some more plot details:

Quote:

Following the first official (unfinished) image and synopsis from Guardians of the Galaxy earlier this week, some new and intriguing details have been uncovered about this year's only non-sequel Marvel adaptation. In Disney's 2014 lineup press release, veteran actress Glenn Close's role in Guardians was said to be Commander Raes. However, writer/director James Gunn took to Facebook, yet again, to clarify that the six-time Academy Award nominee is actually playing Nova Prima Rael, the highest ranking Nova Corps officer in the film. “I don't know where they got this 'Commander' stuff from,” he added. Close's character seems to be inspired by Irani Rael, a 2nd-highest ranked Nova Corps member in the comics created by Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning.

While he and several other journalists were invited to the set at some point last year, Drew McWeeny of HitFix has insinuated he knows a bit more about Guardians of the Galaxy since before filming had even began. Somehow overlooked in November, McWeeny reported that The Collector, played by Benicio Del Toro, is not a main character in the film, but he and his collection both play a key role.
“The Guardians are going to need something from him, and we'll see what happens when Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Gamora, Drax, and... Groot all show up on his planet asking for access to something in that collection,” he teased.

Despite Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige reassuring that we'll get more than a turn-and-smile from Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as hear the purple menace speak, and ultimately learn more about him, Drew McWeeny noted about a week ago that he's not too sure if we'll actually get to see the character: “He may well be an off-screen presence a la The Emperor in the first Star Wars movie.” This could explain why an actor has yet to be announced for the role, which may not come into full play until “Phase Three” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Nevertheless, McWeeny is sure we'll see Thanos' family in the movie.

Then there's Drax the Destroyer, who was actually created by Thanos' grandfather in the comics with a sole purpose of killing the mad Titan. However, played by wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista in Guardians of the Galaxy, the brutish character's one and only goal is to kill Ronan the Accuser, who's the main villain of the film (and a Thanos employee) played by actor Lee Pace. Drew McWeeny reveals that Drax is “driven by revenge [and] has turned his body into a road map of private misery and loss, with ornate tattoos that tell the story of how he was left alone in the universe, filled with nothing now but rage.” Also, Dave Bautista's performance in the film apparently received nothing but high praise from other Guardians cast members: “Every single person we spoke to on the set talked about how blown away they were by what Bautista has been doing with the role.”
