I really wish Garrett Hedlund will get the role. I have always wanted to see him in a MARVEL superhero movie.
Wasn't him being considered to played Captain America before Chris Evans was cast??
I wonder who will be voicing Rocket. What accent does he have in the comics, presuming he takes a human one?
Good.
He can stick to being in movies no one sees. Like Taylor Kursed.
Compared to The Avengers $1billion
Video Interview: http://splashpage.mtv.com/2012/12/07/lee-pace-guardians-of-the-galaxy-star-lord/I go in on Monday to meet them all and audition for it, so wish me luck, the actor said. I'm very excited about it. The script is great. The character is a lot of fun. I have been [reading up on Star-Lord]. You want to know what you're doing. The character is a lot of fun. I hope it works out.
We'll see. We'll see, Lee Pace said about his chances of nabbing the Star-Lord role and possible appearance in The Avengers sequel. I've got to audition. I've got to go get it. I actually love auditioning, so I'm happy to go meet them all and do it.
Filmboy, its called Wikipedia. Just type in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and start reading. The interwebs is a marvelous (no pun intended) invention i tells ya. Here's the "link" (you click on it with your mouse btw):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_(2008_team)
and here's the "link" for the 70's version of the team:

you're welcome.
They don't. But that doesn't mean the film is doomed. As long as it looks cool and they emphasize that this is the same studios that brought you the Avengers, the film should be able to do the $400 M ww necessary for a $150-175 M film to be considered successful.
Yes Guardians of the Galaxy is a risk, but post-Avengers, I think the risk element has gone down substantially. A team like GoTG has as good of a chance of surviving in a post Avengers world as Thor did in a pre-Avengers one, while the Iron Man, Thor and Captain America sequels are almost guaranteed box office smashes.
That's what happens when your brand pops out a $1.5 B movie.
To an extent. I hate to keep playing devil's advocate about b.o. --- but I'd much rather be a pessimist who's proven (pleasantly) surprisingly wrong with a much higher than expected gross than an optimist whose high hopes get shot down by dismal ticket sales --- but the phenomenal success of Avengers took place in a team setting, not a solo setting. Iron Man is still a guaranteed proven franchise, but I still don't see any guarantees with Thor or Cap. Again, high hopes, but I'm trying to be realistic about any MS movie that doesn't feature Iron Man in it.
