The bizarre comic book about aliens and other dimensions has been in talks for a while and already has a release date for next August, but it’s only now that the main character of the film has been cast!
Chris Pratt, best known for his work on the hit TV show PARKS AND RECREATION has been confirmed to play the role of Peter Quill, the half-human and half-alien destined to become Star-Lord and lead the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Also part of the Guardians of the Galaxy are Groot, a giant walking and talking tree, Gamora, the only survivor of the Zen Whoberi, Rocket Raccoon, a genetically modified raccoon with a crazy love for explosives and Drax the Destroyer whose only purpose in life is to kill Thanos, who we saw in the final scene of THE AVENGERS.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY will be the last movie in Marvel’s Phase Two before Phase Three begins with THE AVENGERS 2. Will you be catching GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY in theatres on August 1, 2014?
