Jim Carrey for Rocket Raccoon plz

 

[Rentahamster]

Gamera????

...

Oh.

That's cool too.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I know people are going to disagree with me but
I think this will bomb big time.

It's been 30 years since we had a good Star Wars film. I think the public is ready for another one.

 

[friskykillface]

Batista is in the movie? lol RIP franchise

Batista bomb in IMAX 3D, B^)

 

[mjc]

I honestly picture Jason Statham or someone with a similar accent doing Rocket Raccoon. His voice needs to have a little bit of grit in it.

 

[Tizoc]

Couldn't they just go with this traditional StarLord design?

...or maybe I just want him to have the helmet since it makes him look cool.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Where is Yoda?

 

[Akahige]

Lol, I didn't know Bautista was acting now.

he's not bad actually

I really do hope the film matches up to the scale of some of the concept art, for this very reason.

I don't read the comics, but the concept art in the OP looks about a billion times better than that design.

 

[bob_arctor]

I still dream of an Alien Legion movie but this will do quite nicely.

 

[J10]

Michael Keaton or Kurt Russell for Rocket Raccoon, please.

 

[Uncle]

I really do hope the film matches up to the scale of some of the concept art, for this very reason.

Honestly the only way to make a GOTG film is to go big. I'm fairly confident the folks at Marvel know this as well.

 

[harSon]

Should've hired Paula Patton

<3

Fuck Zoe Saldana.

 

[Funky Papa]

I don't read the comics, but the concept art in the OP looks about a billion times better than that design.

I believe that's from the animation series.

 

[Pau]

She's gonna need to bulk up

Judging by how most artists draw Gamora, I'd say Zoe Saldana looks to have as much muscle as the character.

I'm interested to see what the costume will look like for the movie.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Anyone got some GOTG comics to recommend?

 

[Kusagari]

Rocket needs to keep the cockney accent he has in Mahvel.

Can't imagine him sounding any other way now.

 

[Triple Oceans]

If Brian Cranston gets the cast, the internet will break.

FTFY

 

[Dave_6]

The concept art for this film is amazing.

 

[Daingurse]

Still can't believe we're getting a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Cosmic Marvel is just fantastic. I loved the Thanos Imperative and Annihilation.

 

[Tizoc]

Fuck now I wanna re-read Guardians of the Galaxy, but ugh at all the major crossover stories...

 

[Hot Coldman]

I'm interested to see what the costume will look like for the movie.

The last piece of concept art has her in it- I'd imagine it'll be something like that.

 

[J10]

Anyone got some GOTG comics to recommend?

All of them. There's only one volume (25 issues) for the current cast and it crosses over with the Realm of Kings, War of Kings, Thanos Initiative story arcs. You also might wanna read the stuff leading up to the formation of the new cast: Annihilation, Annihilation Conquest, Nova Vol. 4.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

love Zoe but isn't Gamora a "SheHulk-ess" physic???

 

[slightconfuse]

love Zoe but isn't Gamora a "SheHulk-ess" physic???

she is an assassin hence the giant sword .

 

[Pau]

The last piece of concept art has her in it- I'd imagine it'll be something like that.

Ah thanks didn't catch the last image. That's surprisingly restrained.

 

[J10]

love Zoe but isn't Gamora a "SheHulk-ess" physic???

She's not that huge. But acting comes first. Everyday that passes we should thank Marvel for knowing this. Everything else can be fixed with makeup and special effects. Whoever said Paula Patton: hold out for She-Hulk.

 

[Tizoc]

Basically read Cosmic Marvel in the following order:

The 12 issue Thanos series is optional, but explains his appearance in Annihilation

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I think Rocket has to have a Brit accent, because the song and all. The Beatles connection.

In the cartoons and videogames he has a heavy scottish accent, I dig it.

 

[Hot Coldman]

That's not Scottish, it's Cockney. Or Aussie. I can never tell, but it ain't Scottish

 

[Smokey]

Zoe da goddess

Puttin in work

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Ah okay. Been a while since I saw the episode last. Gives me a good excuse to rewatch it.

 

[Data West]

I don't read the comics, but the concept art in the OP looks about a billion times better than that design.

Sadly, you're who they're trying to appeal to rather than what GOTG was made for in the first place.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

The last piece of concept art has her in it- I'd imagine it'll be something like that.

I updated the OP with a proper comparison picture I made using the concept art.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Have they actually cast her as Gamora yet? I heard she is still in the running, which is different than being cast.

 

[The Elite]

That updated Saldana photo is, umm, yeah.

Not sure it's safe for work.

I'll take a closer look at it when I get home.

 

[Hindle]

Ray Winstone or Ian Mcshane for Rocket Racoon. Come on Marvel do it. As for Groot, Morgan Freeman?

Either way I can't wait, a talking Racoon and a tree makes this film insanely awesome.

 

[akira28]

love Zoe but isn't Gamora a "SheHulk-ess" physic???

yes, but lately Marvel, no doubt in synch with their production plotting, is making her more of a super fast assassin type.

the previous versions had her being rather sturdy, super strong, and not at all lithe and Hollywood tiny.

 

[Clevinger]

Sadly, you're who they're trying to appeal to rather than what GOTG was made for in the first place.

Good.

 

[SlowRevolution]

I know people are going to disagree with me but
I think this will bomb big time.

this is going to be Marvel's Green Lantern

I'll still watch for Chris Pratt.

 

[akira28]

i'm not saying she's not cute, but I'm definitely not a part of TeamZoe.

Also, new pic in OP has visible nipples.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

this is going to be Marvel's Green Lantern

I'll still watch for Chris Pratt.

Hopefully it'll be Marvel's Star Wars Episode IV.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Perfect Casting Hype levels RISING

 

[hwalker84]

Zoe...... faints!

 

[GhettoGamer]

this is going to be Marvel's Green Lantern

I'll still watch for Chris Pratt.

Marvel actually have to halfass this movie before it even can be compared to green lantern

 

[Dave_6]

I'm willing to bet that Marvel absolutely knows they have to nail this one since GotG is relatively unknown to most.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

this is going to be Marvel's Green Lantern

Marvel has decent casting directors so probably not.

I'm willing to bet that Marvel absolutely knows they have to nail this one since GotG is relatively unknown to most.

And they want it to become its own franchise that doesn't rely on Avengers hype.

 

[Stinkles]

Had me at Starlord. Never heard of any of the rest of it.

 

[Discotheque]

Aside from ant man this is the only marvel film I'm interested in if they go the space opera route

It was a reason why I was interested in green lantern until I saw the trailer and heard about the casting for that shit. Also it was mostly set on earth
