OFFICIAL Guardians of Galaxy Casting Thread - Part 1

[xeno000]

El Maybe strikes again. Frankly, I think the guy is just throwing obvious names out there in his never-ending quest for hits.


The funniest part of his latest click-whoring article was that he started out with a long explanation of how his Planet Hulk "scoop" could still be right. You can practically smell the flop-sweat dripping off the guy. I think that Marvel might be trolling him with a counterintelligence operation, feeding him fake info and then going to other sites to shoot his "scoops" down. That would be hilarious if true.

[CastlesInTheAir]

Honestly, most of these "Shortlists" for moving casts are completely wrong. Chris Pratt wasn't on any of these lists which makes me think they pulled the names out of their ass.

I like speculating, but when you're trying to pass something off as true when its not, just to get hits to your website, you're an ******* plain and simple.

I'm going to wait until a credible news source *officially* announces the cast.

Did he not just accuse Marvel of that? Argh I can't find the post! Something about "stirring up the usual sites against each other". It was crap, but amusing crap.

[deadmannuk12]

No she was not Banned, just got tired of smartening you trolls up, so let me make 3 quick points

1 Marvel should say No to Mamoa for him acting like the new terrence howard, plus he sucked in bullet to the head, and Conan, but was grate in GOT

2 No on Batista, not bc he's a wrestler, but because he just cant act well enough for THIS role.

3 and my final point, Just cast an unknown so that all of us can ****** and cry for the next year until the first trailer comes out, then say he looks cool, then go see the film, and Instantly jump on the Unknowns band wagon like we supported who marvels chose all a long.

I also think the shortlists are talent agents and/or managers trying to get their clients names out there to maybe get people online talking about them. Because we do know that Marvel Studios looks at forums like this.

Now you're just feeding his paranoia.

(Somewhere, a Marvel sniper settles into his perch high above El Maybe's bedroom window...)

It was "Cool kids" crap.

He's probably just a big tough guy for Riddick to punch in the movie.

Did the movie bomb because of Bautiste? You're basically inferring that.

Yeah, he went on a rant on Twitter about it when the AICN article dropped. How Marvel is playing them off on one another and that him and the guy who wrote the article on AICN are still cool. It was hilarious.

At least he gives us something to talk about.

So has anyone seen Poni Boy's article about Gunn telling us not to believe all the Internet rumors about casting and how most castings will be out of the UK? I guess Gunn was waiting on his GF in the shower and answered some fan questions on Formspring, only a few were GOTG related though.

How do you deduce that his gf was in the shower from that?

Elementary, my dear Watson.

[axelbratoski]

Chris Pratt - "Star-Lord"


Abbie Cornish - "Gamora"


Djimon Hounsou - "Drax"


Ray Winstone - "Rocket Raccoon"


Keith David - "Groot"


Ron Perlman - "Thanos"

[CastlesInTheAir]

Ron Perlman could work as Thanos. He wouldn't need very much prosthetics.

[Dark Raven]

Why does Thanos have a bald head in that pic? Doesn't he normally wear something on his head? At the moment I can't think what.

[Sawyer]

Perlman would kick ass.

Just as long as it wouldn't take away from his time on Sons of Anarchy.

[Nathan]

Perlman as Thanos? I could totally dig that.

[CastlesInTheAir]

I'm trying to think outside the box for Thanos because Marvel doesn't usually pick popular choices, its usually someone completely different from what everyone suspected. I previously listed Spacey, Malkovich, hmmm what about Ed Harris? I don't know. We kinda assume Thanos is going to have this deep booming voice, what what if he doesn't? I kinda think he's going to sound more articulate and soft spoken, contrasting his mannerisms and his appearance.

[Guerrilla]

Djimon Hounsou is a good suggestion for Drax. Great actor.
I did a quick manip of Cornish for Gamora.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

[JB-the-Hunter]

I waned Cornish to play Wonder Woman, but no objections if she gets Gamora. Great choice.

Looooooooool. Try none!

[Eddie Dean]

Has any one suggested Noomi Rapace as Gamora?

[TheVileOne]

Eh they could do worse I suppose. They'll have to give her the Keira Knightley treatment though .

Yeah, El Maybe has been raving about Marvel's plots against him because he had a run-in with them last summer over the GotG announcement. He's under the impression that Marvel's desire to keep its plans and scripts secret is a direct affront to him. He needs to man up and stop whining. People who want to publish the proprietary information of multinational media conglomerates have to be ready for the possible consequences.
