Early GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Concept Art Shows Jason Momoa As 'Drax the Destroyer'
Jason Momoa, is that you? The brilliant Andy Park has shared more of his early work on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, and it shows conceptual art of Drax with the Aquaman actor's likeness.
Even though Dave Bautista was apparently Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn's first choice to play Drax the Destroyer, it's no secret that Jason Momoa was in early talks to play the brute character. In fact, the Game of Thrones alum, who is currently tipped to play Aquaman for Warner Bros., has even discussed auditioning alongside 'Star-Lord' Chris Pratt.. Well, by way of more early conceptual art by Andy Park, we now have a visualization of what could have been.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand - with the galaxy’s fate in the balance. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is presented by Marvel Studios and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gilian, Djimon Hounsou with John C. Reilly, Glenn Close as Commander Rael and Benicio del Toro as The Collector. Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, the film opens August 1, 2014
