Ladies first! While chatting with the New York Daily News, Zoe Saldana discussed her upcoming film Out of the Furnace and briefly commented on her role in Guardians of the Galaxy. “Gamora doesn’t wake up every morning and go, ‘I’m super-fantastic!’ She just comes from a planet where everybody is green and strong,” Saldana said. “She’s just an everyday person there.”
Meanwhile, during the BAFTA Children Awards 2013, Be the Red Carpet caught up with English actor Peter Serafinowicz, who voiced Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, and asked about his role in Guardians of the Galaxy. “It's not really a superhero film per se,” he said. “It feels more like a Star Wars kind of film. And I play a kind of space cop.” His Nova Corps officer, who's a superior to John C. Reilly's Rhomann Dey and inferior to Glenn Close's Nova Prime, notoriously dubbed the Guardians a “bunch of a-holes” in the San Diego Comic-Con footage.
It seems that Chris Pratt would sorta concur Peter Serafinowicz's Star Wars comparison. Speaking with Babble, the Star-Lord actor and his Delivery Man co-star Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill) were asked about their Marvel Universe ventures. “I think we’re both pretty excited,” said The Avengers actress. “From the world of creative fun and fantasy, I’m really excited to be a part of anything Marvel because it’s supported by such great fans and it’s just a dream.” “Ditto!” Pratt chimed. “Guardians of Galaxy is Marvel’s take on a rocking, space opera-type story, and it’s so imaginative. Not really allowed to say even that, but I’m beyond excited.” Pratt isn't allowed to categorize Guardians of the Galaxy? Marvel snipers must have been on-break during the interview.
“Guardians of the Galaxy,” the next epic adventure from Marvel Studios, is directed by James Gunn from his screenplay, with a story by Nicole Perlman and Gunn, and the film will introduce audiences to a whole new side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The all-star cast includes Chris Pratt as Peter Quill aka Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Lee Pace as Ronan the Accuser, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Karen Gillan as Nebula, two-time Academy Award nominee Djimon Hounsou as Korath, Academy Award® winner Benicio del Toro as The Collector, Academy Award nominee John C. Reilly as Rhomann Dey, and six-time Academy Award nominee Glenn Close as Nova Prime, with Vin Diesal as Groot and Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon. Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” is scheduled for release August 1, 2014!
