New Details On Thanos' Role In GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Reveal STAR WARS Similarities

Some new details have emerged about exactly how much of Josh Brolin's Thanos we'll see in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy, and it sounds as if the director has turned to The Empire Strikes Back for inspiration! We also have new information on the villain's quest for the Infinity Stones...

Vulture have revealed some new details about how much we'll see of Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy, and the reason that Josh Brolin is only providing his voice (instead of both that and motion capture) for the James Gunn helmed movie may have become clear. According to the site, he will appear in the first act via hologram - similar to Emperor Palpatine in The Empire Strikes Back - and that will be how he seen for the majority of his time on screen, with his only actual physical appearance taking place in a scene with Ronan the Accuser and Nebula. However, despite Thanos' brief screen time in Guardians of the Galaxy, "Characters reference him often and fearfully." They go on to add that the Infinity Stone in this movie is the Power Gem, leaving us in the dark as to what Thor: The Dark World's Aether was exactly. Hopefully that will all become clear, especially now that's it's in the possession of The Collector! What do you guys think about these latest details?

meh...for some reason I can't get excited for Guardians. I'll see it but for someone who is unfamiliar with the comics and characters the trailers have done nothing for me.

The more I watch te footage, the more I fall in love!!! It's gonna be SOOOO refreshing getting an IP out that isn't a sequel!!!


Also finally saw DOFP, Quicksilver did kinda own that movie! Best display of powers on film I think I've EVER seen!!!

C'mon Joss Whedon! Don't let us down!!!

I'm 100% serious. I'd never joke about something as important as comic book movies.

ezio619 - 6/3/2014, 1:12 PM
Yossarian-thats an AWESOME pic of Thanos and i think the hologram he is looking at is his newly discovered son-Thane
ezio619
ezio619 - 6/3/2014, 1:13 PM
soforizo-it may or may not be good or maybe wont be as culturally explosive as star wars but its a space adventure film so it will be compared

@ezio yeah, I'll still go in with an open mind and all, just not as hyped as some people. And Empire Strikes Back is my favourite movie of all time yet this movie, at most, feels like faux-Star Wars...like its trying to replicate the tone and feel but missing the point...almost like John Carter from a couple years ago imo. Oh well though, hope its good

"meh...for some reason I can't get excited for Guardians. I'll see it but for someone who is unfamiliar with the comics and characters the trailers have done nothing for me."


I must agree with this.

Sounds awesome!! Thanos is my favorite comic book villain, so this news gets me even more excited!!

@LAs

That's a pretty cool shot of the Kree holding Ronan's universal weapon next to him
ezio619
ezio619 - 6/3/2014, 1:18 PM
LAs- i love that image, it fits with the take gunn on doing on ronan in this film which is him making a deal with thanos in that he will help thanos attain the orb and in exchange, Thanos will help Ronan eradicate the enemies of the Kree which are The Xandarians and him having a religious bent to him which gunn said is fully told through that image in that Ronan believes strength is virtue and weakness is sin

Thank god because if the Aether was the power gem and seeing how they bitched malekith in Thor 2 it would have been a serious let down if had that been the power gem.

Damn I can't wait for GOTG because it will prove that a space epic can work on CBM's take note WB!!!!!!!!!!

JoJo1982 - 6/3/2014, 1:20 PM
Or is that Nebula?
ezio619
ezio619 - 6/3/2014, 1:20 PM
NICK-i dont think its trying to replicate that tone and feel...imo it has its own tone and feel to it which is its not taking itself too seriously wherein star wars plays itself straightforward
MrFridayNights
MrFridayNights - 6/3/2014, 1:20 PM
Please Marvel don't Disneyfied Thanos I want the ruthless Thanos from the comics straight to the big screen!!!!!!!!!
