Add Benicio Del Toro to the cast, no word on who he is playing but like Samuel L. Jackson it's expected to be a role that will play a part in future Marvel films.

Vin Diesel is in talks to join the film, if he is cast he'll play Groot, a tree like alien that can control trees.

Vin Diesel has been linked to Marvel since before Comic Con with rumors of a possible appearance in an upcoming film.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy


Cast:
Chris Pratt as Peter Quill / Star-Lord
Zoe Saldana as Gamora
Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer
Vin Diesel as Groot
Bradley Cooper as Rocket
Michael Rooker as Yondu Udonta
Lee Pace as Ronan the Accuser
Karen Gillan as Nebula
Djimon Hounsou as Korath
John C. Reilly as Corpsman Rhomann Dey
Glenn Close as Nova Prime Irani Rael
Benicio del Toro as Taneleer Tivan / The Collector
Josh Brolin as Thanos
Alexis Denisof reprised his role from The Avengers, Thanos's vizier, "The Other"
Also appearing in smaller parts, Peter Serafinowicz, Gregg Henry, Sean Gunn, and Laura Haddock

So far the film is getting some of the best ratings yet of the Marvel Films and it's well deserved; I loved the film, it was a great mix of Action, comedy and drama. Based on the Comic Book series the film introduces the main characters and how the "Guardians" get together. If you expect something heroic like the Avengers this isn't the film, Captain America would have a tough time fitting in with this band of outlaws. The film was very well cast with some surprises, such as Vin Diesel as The walking tree called Groot, if he was paid by the word he had a very small paycheck, and Dave Bautista who showed some great comedic timing as the too literal Drax the Destroyer. I personally enjoyed Karen Gillan's Nebula, but I'm a fan of her's from Doctor Who so I was happy to see her in a major role, and Zoe Saldana was as good as fans would expect as Gamora. Chris Pratt is a stand out as the lead, Peter Quill, it's his journey we really focus on, but the one who steals the film has to be Rocket Racoon, voiced by Bradley Cooper, he gets all the great one liners and has some great moments as the hero. Another Plus was the music, the score by Tyler Bates was as good as Bates can get and really blended with a soundtrack full of songs from the 70's, all songs belonging to Quill's mixtape which are played at several points in the film.

The only issues I had were very minor, it took a little while to get the action going but the story was still good and kept my attention as we got Peter Quill's Backstory and were introduced to Ronan, Gamora, and Nebula.

As one would expect with Marvel we had lots of cameos and easter eggs, both to the books and to past and future films, Stan Lee had his usual appearance, as well as director James Gunn, Lloyd Kaufman, Nathan Fillion, Rob Zombie, composer Tyler Bates and in a surprise cameo Seth Green.

If you have seen Marvel films before than you know that there will be an after credits scene; the scene itself was pretty funny with a nice shoutout to a past Marvel character, he also turns up earlier in the film if you look for him during the meeting with the Collector, it's this scene we get the most easter eggs as far as I can tell, but overall it doesn't really tie into any upcoming films really.

My score is a 9 out of 10

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy


This sounds and looks wonderful. We've seen some previews when we went to Hercules, etc.
