Guardians of the Galaxy in Avengers 2?

Yes I believe they will be.

 

Eh I dont think so. I think the Guardians will set up Thanos as a bad guy and then use him again in Avengers, similar to what they did with Loki. If the Guardians DO show up in A2 it's just going to hurt the film IMO. I want Avengers movies to be about the Avengers, and Guardians movies to be about the Guardians.

 

Probably just quick cameos or something

 

Not at all. Reference, but none of them make appearances.

I actually hope they all end up dead at the end of GOTG anyway, to be totally honest. Except maybe Star Lord, who makes it back to Earth, but dies after telling Nick Fury about the threat of Thanos.

 

I for real don't understand the "kill off the GOTG" mentality must be coming from non guardians fans. I am 100% sure they won't be killed off that idea is stupid and makes absolutely no sense. This has the potential to be another big franchise for Marvel why throw it away.

 

I know it's crazy. I'm just thinking from a story line view, not a franchise standpoint. Truth be told I'm not the biggest Guardians fan, so I have no emotional connection to them. I think they could be used much like Agent Coulson in The Avengers. End it with an emotional, heroic death. This would bring the audience in emotionally and show off the true power of Thanos.

That's just my opinion. Don't get too offended guys.

 

I can just imagine Thanos busting into Icarus, if they go that route and killing Rocket Raccoon. Then later in the final battle, he blasts through Groot, tragically kills Gamora and Drax, realizing they can't win, sends an injured Starlord to Earth to warn of Thanos, then sacrifices himself in an attempt to kill Thanos.

In the two mid-credit stingers, you see: 1) Thanos, while hurt, has survived and 2) you see Starlord waken in a panic in a SHIELD medical center, and he warns Nick Fury of the danger coming their way.

 

I'm sure James Gunn and co will be happy to make a movie that develops a half-dozen characters for two hours just so they can be mowed down at the end as a commercial for another movie

 

Yeah, I think Marvel has decided to turn this movie over to Tarantino. Either that or they dug up Sam Peckinpah from beyond the grave and think he has a good eye for what direction GOTG needs to go in.

 

I know there is literally a 0% chance of it happening. I just think it would make for an interesting story. If this were a comic story that could be rebooted for cheap in two months, it'd be possible. It won't happen in film.... You have to admit though, while you might not prefer it, it would at least be interesting.

 

I don't find that premise the least bit interesting and it would be a recipe for utter failure if used in a superhero film. This is the Guardians of the Galaxy, not the Suicide Squad.

 

The hell is Marvel going to do with a bunch of toys of dead superheros?

 

Spin 'em off into a new Marvel Zombies toy line.

 

More?

I didn't say anything about suicide. Sacrifice Squad maybe, but not suicide.

 

Either way it's lame

 

I think the most they should do is arrive as last minute reinforments at the end to help fight Thanos.

Otherwise, I think them appearing in full supporting roles will take away too much focus from the Avengers themselves.

 

Let's say there's a Justice League story. Darkseid kills Flash and Martian Manhunter sacrifices himself trying to transport Darkseid away from Earth. ... not interesting?

 

Oh, prime example... Serenity. Wash and Simon died, right?

Gladiator. Maximus died a noble death at the end.

Captain Miller in Saving Private Ryan.


None of those were interesting to you guys? They weren't necessarily popular choices, but they were interesting.

 

All of those were one-offs. Not part of a larger (and lucrative) film continuity that must continue to sustain itself.

Hell, they couldn't even let Coulson stay dead after Avengers

 

I personally would make GOTG a "one-off" that's a part of this continuity. But I guess that's where I differ from a ton of you guys on here. Maybe not kill of ALL of them, but perhaps Groot or Gamora, as a sacrifice.

Do we have 100% confirmation that he will be seen alive in a story that takes place AFTER the Avengers?

 

Even if it's the only GOTG film to come out (no direct sequels) it cant' be a one-off by definition because it exists in the large MS continuity. Long term repercussions of offing new characters have to be taken info effect.

Yes he's starring in the SHIELD series
