Guardians of the Galaxy OFFICIAL Guardians of Galaxy Casting Thread - Part 1

IMDb is totally unreliable because anyone can edit it. I do love the idea of Stephen Colbert voicing Groot, though. He'd probably be a great mo-cap performer.

IMDB is just flat-out wrong.
Stephen Colbert was confirmed to play Gamora, not Groot.

 

[elsewhere]

I'm calling it now -the reason Momoa has passed on Drax is because he's actually going to be Marvel's Hercules.

I could see Momoa as Lobo.

Hmmm.

 

[KangConquers]

I wish they'd gone with exploring Gamora casting first...I'm definitely more interested in that right now.

 

[CastlesInTheAir]

Anyone got any other casting suggestions for Thanos? I was thinking maybe John Malkovich or Kevin Spacey could play him.

Charles Napier, Viggo Mortensen, Bruce Campbell, Neal McDonough, Ron Perlman, Aaron Eckhart, or Jay Leno.

Lol well he's certainly got the chin for it.

 

[SlamAdams]

Charles Napier, Viggo Mortensen, Bruce Campbell, Neal McDonough, Ron Perlman, Aaron Eckhart, or Jay Leno.

Charles Napier passed away in 2011, same day as Steve Jobs

Former WWE star, Batista being tested for Drax. Kevin Durand for unknown role: http://latino-review.com/2013/03/01/update-marvels-guardians-galaxy/

 

[Mr. Dent]

If Kevin Durand is really up for a role I image it's Richard Rider or Adam Warlock.

 

[TheVileOne]

Wasn't Batista already testing for the role?

 

[Derrick9592]

Wasn't Batista already testing for the role?

Yeah I was just thinking of that. I also remember there were others that tested for the role such as Isaiah Mustafa (the Old Spice guy) and some unknown actor named Brian Patrick Wade. Either way, Momoa's missing out a very huge opportunity.

 

[Chewy]

Batista-as-Drax is almost as bad as Levi-as-Star-Lord

Ew.

 

[Moridin]

Wasn't Batista already testing for the role?

Yeah, he was definitely mentioned a month or two ago.

Batista-as-Drax is almost as bad as Levi-as-Star-Lord

Ew.

Almost.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Apparently Momoa didn't pass up the offer, he just wants a better deal. I think he'll eventually land the role though. I can almost guarantee Bautista won't get it.

 

[cherokeesam]

Keep in mind that report came from LR, whose credibility has been a little, shall we say, "questionable" lately. (Along with CBM blowing themselves up over Shaileen Woodley....what's up with geeksites giving themselves massive black eyes the past few days?)

But if there's a shred of truth to the report: I think it would be hilarious if Batista gets the nod, even though I wouldn't be opposed to it. It's just that some people in this very thread would have a friggin' heart attack if it happened.

As for Durand: I like him, and if they sneak him in as Warlock or Nova, as Dent suggested, that would be bonus. I'd just hate to see him for Thanos....he just seems too babyfaced and innocent to play *The* Big Bad.


***Edit: incidentally, that report also mentions that "an unknown actor has been found to voice Rocket Raccoon."

 

[Saitou Hajime]

Given the pattern of these casting rumors, isn't Batista being the "front-runner" almost a sign that he's NOT getting the part?

 

[Chewy]

The fact that he's Batista is a fairly solid sign that he's won't get the part

 

[Whiskey Tango]

What happened to that kid who was all 'Momoa is the One True Drax who holds Marvel's polished balls Within His Mighty Grasp'?

 

[KangConquers]

"She" was banned.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Oh wow, I missed it. C'est la vie.

 

[Nathan]

I never even knew we had someone like that here.

 

[KangConquers]

Oh wow, I missed it. C'est la vie.

The beat goes on.

 

[KangConquers]

He couldn't even get a part in a WWE studios film. They bi-passed him. That was the reason he quit the company.

 

[Chewy]

I never even knew we had someone like that here.

It was a brief stay

 

[Norrin Parker]

I'm pretty sure that user is back under another name. Anyway I pray to god Bautista doesn't get drax and hopefully Durand is actually up for the Destroyer.
