The source obviously wikipedia'd "Guardians of the Galaxy" and the original team came up.

How would you guys feel if Ship was in the film? Ship is from Englehardt's run, and is Starlord's sentient...well, ship.

I feel like all Sci-fi properties need an iconic mode of transportation, and this might just work.

Well it would have to appear at some point because it was a big part of SL's past, as for appearing in the modern day i'm not so sure.

Ship (or a spaceship designed after her) showed up in the Avengers Assemble arc.

AVEITWITHJAMON · 11-06-2012, 04:19 PM

^I think it would be a bit much to have Ship in the entire film at the minute, just having it appear in the flashback about Star-Lords past would do for now.

But there won't BE a Star-Lord past. He's going to start out the movie as a normal human being and gain his powers during the course of the film.

That'd be like referencing Gwen Stacy's death in a Spider-Man movie where Peter Parker starts out as a civilian.

AVEITWITHJAMON · 11-07-2012, 08:32 AM

^From what we have heard so far, he is the modern incarnation of Star-Lord, i.e, the one who killed 350, 000 Kree to stop The Fallen One, an act in which ship was destroyed.

He isnt going to get any powers, he will just be Peter Quill, but to have the name Star Lord he needs the past to do it, hence why I dont think Ship should be involved unless in a flashback.

He's not going to have the history of killing 350,000 people. Why would he? The synopsis indicates he's an Earth Pilot, who gets caught up with a bunch of Futuristic convicts. Chances are 99.9% that he becomes Star-Lord (whatever that means in this film) during the course of the film...not years before it starts.

AVEITWITHJAMON · 11-08-2012, 08:45 AM

^Ah, then I think he is going to be called Star-Lord for a different reason in this movie then, so I suppose Ship could be involved, but if he isnt going to get any powers and is just going to be Peter Quill, what would be the point in having Ship?

Plus they are meant to be a team of under-dogs/losers, so having technology like Ship on their side seems a little redundant.

Lobo · 11-29-2012, 03:32 AM

James Marsden has my support from the eight rumored candidates. Edgerton and Pace would also be great IMO

AVEITWITHJAMON · 11-29-2012, 04:41 AM

Think Marsden would be too old myself, Edgerton is a bit too old as well but looks young enough to pull it off.

Think Hedlund would be better as Richard Rider/Nova, Jack Huston wouldnt be bad either, though I have only ever seen him in Outlander.

Depends entirely what kind of traits they want Quill to have.

I think Edgerton & Pace would play quite different Star-Lords myself.

Hollywood (and specifically Marvel Studios) rarely think this way.

They don't go "We love Hedlund, but we should save him for this..."

They go: "We like this guy; do we have a role for him?"

I think almost all of the actors would play different Star-Lords. These actors are all different ages, shapes, sizes, and types. I guess Star-Lord is such a blank canvas in terms of public perception, that Marvel themselves aren't sure what they're looking for.

I agree - I just used 2 as an example. Edgerton just fits the criteria for Quill that I see in my mind - Doesn't mean I'm right.

Marvel haven't let us down, yet.

Looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

KangConquers · 11-29-2012, 09:37 AM

I will say this shortlist is ten times better than the Short List for Cap, which was horrible.

Garrett Hedlund is quickly becoming the male Emily Blunt for Marvel. I'm sure he'll wind up on even more shortlists if he doesn't get this.

Lobo · 11-29-2012, 10:30 AM

I think Hedlund ends up in Disney Star Wars

Blunt has noticeably more talent than Hedlund though!

...I don't know how that's relevant to the analogy.

Probably, I guess it will depend on screen-tests, etc, I think the more modern SL is the one they are going for.

I know they dont think this way Kang, I was stating my personal preferences out of the list we were given.

Joeyjojo72 · 11-29-2012, 03:33 PM

I think its fair to discuss preferences as well as the likelihood of said preferences. Otherwise you end up having to explain, over and over, why, for example, Lynn Collins will never be WW or why Taylor Klitsh will never be [insert MCU role here]. Reality checks are useful and necessary.

It was a statement of fact.

Lee Pace. So glad to see he's being looked at for the MCU.

If they wanted to avoid the "how did humans leave our solar system in the present day" I could see them setting it in the future. Thanos overpowers the team, fcks a bunch of sht up and nearly destroys the universe. The GotG have to travel back in time to warn the Avengers. w/e

Darthphere · 11-29-2012, 05:41 PM

So we don't bring up Jude Law's name everytime when it comes to casting?
