The GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Movie idea would be a BLAST of COSMIC PROPORTIONS!
MARVEL is wise to do this film! This can be the STAR WARS Of MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT! The STAR TREK for the MARVEL U!
Many sites have been asking the question, who should the roster be?
I think it should be.....
STAR-LORD (PETER QUILL)
PHYLA (PHYLA-VEL/MARTYR/QUASAR)
ADAM WARLOCK
GAMORA
ROCKET RACCOON
MANTIS
BUG
MOONDRAGON (HEATHER DOUGLAS)
DRAX (DRAX THE DESTROYER/ARTHUR DOUGLAS)
VANCE ASTRO (MAJOR VICTORY)
GROOT
That's 11, I know that sounds like a lot of characters but a space opera
can use a bigger cast of characters. I would leave COSMO THE SPACE DOG as
the CARETAKER of the SPACE STATION “KNOWWHERE, which is the severed
head of a long, long forgotten CELESTIAL that is still partially
functional. COSMO would not be a crew-member of “THE GUARDIANS”.
I mean look at the crew of J.J. ABRAMS STAR TREK, it's a large cast. A
STAR-FORCE takes a big crew.
Now MARVEL has come out with an illustration of the crew of the GUARDIANS
OF THE GALAXY and it only has five members, STAR-LORD, GAMORA,
ROCKET RACCOON, GROOT & DRAX. I'm sure they will bring the others in
too such as ADAM WARLOCK & PHYLA/QUASAR/MARTYR.
The main bad guy of course should be none other than THANOS, himself!
This film could be the SPACE EPIC of all SPACE EPICS if done correctly! It
can be the movie that GREEN LANTERN should have been!
“GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY” MOVIE FANCAST:
GUILLERMO DEL TORO is the only director I can see making this movie
REALLY work!

JOSH HARTNETT is a tall, leader-type and REALLY RESEMBLES PETER QUILL,
who was taken from earth and became STAR-LORD.
JOSH HARTNETT, 6'3”: BLACK HAWK DOWN, LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN, 30
DAYS OF NIGHT (FILM)
STAR-LORD (PETER QUILL):
JOSH HARTNETT
KRISTANNA LOKEN is very familiar with sci-fi movies and fits PHYLA-VELL to
a “T”. I really like her as a black-ops C.I.A. Agent/Commando on BURN
NOTICE! PHYLA is an alien ETERNAL-KREE hybrid, she has energy-powers and
wields a powerful sword.
KRISTANNA LOKEN, 5'11”: TERMINATOR: RISE OF THE MACHINES (FILM)
BURN NOTICE (TV)
PHYLA (PHYLA-VELL/QUASAR/MARTYR):
KRISTANNA LOKEN
PHILIP WINCHESTER looks like the powerful, enigmatic ADAM WARLOCK and
is a classically-trained actor who can play both ADAM and his creepy evil
alternate-self, THE MAGUS.
PHILIP WINCHESTER, 6'1”: SOLOMON KANE (FILM). FRINGE, CAMELOT (TV)
ADAM WARLOCK:
PHILIP WINCHESTER
LYNN COLLINS is tall and has that exotic look, perfect for the tall,
shapely, buxom, green-skinned alien, GAMORA!
LYNN COLLINS, 5'8”: X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, JOHN CARTER (FILM)
GAMORA:
LYNN COLLINS
I see ROCKET RACCOON with an AMERICAN VOICE. I imagine the actor
who played the hard-boiled RHORSHACH in WATCHMEN as the voice of the
rough and tumble ROCKET RACCOON, JACKIE EARLE HALEY!
JACKIE EARLE HALEY: WATCHMEN, SHUTTER ISLAND, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM
STREET (FILM)
ROCKET RACOON:
CGI + JACKIE EARLE HALEY (VOICE)
BEAU GARRETT is tall and beautiful like HEATHER DOUGLAS, the woman
who is now completely bald and called “MOONDRAGON”.
BEAU GARRETT, 5'10”: TOURISTAS, TRON: LEGACY (FILM)
MOONDRAGON (HEATHER DOUGLAS):
BEAU GARRETT
I moved KEVIN DURAND over here to play DRAX since I now have ALEXANDER
SKARSGARD playing SABRETOOTH. KEVIN would make a big, scary green-
skinned DRAX, HEATHER DOUGLAS' dad who was given a knew powerful body
to DESTROY THANOS! KEVIN gets used a lot in movies because he's a BIG
man and is a damn fine actor!
KEVIN DURAND, 6'6”: LEGION, ROBIN HOOD (FILM) LOST (TV)
DRAX (DRAX THE DESTROYER/ARTHUR DOUGLAS):
KEVIN DURAND + CGI
LUCY LIU has the STAR-POWER for the Celestial MANTIS. I always
thought she would make a MARVELOUS MARTIAL-ARTS MANTIS! This
should be a little bit older woman like LUCY.
LUCY LUI: CHARLIE'S ANGELS, KILL BILL:VOL. 1, LUCKY NUMBER
SLEVIN (FILM)
MANTIS:
LUCY LIU
DOUG JONES for the BUG-EYED BOY who's a rebel from the MICROVERSE
race, THE INSECTIVORIDS, who carries a rocket-lance that doubles as an
energy blaster. He speaks words with a “clicking” sound due to the
unique vocal apparatus of his kind. He now finds himself in outer space
as a human-sized individual in this universe.
DOUG JONES: PAN'S LABYRINTH, HELLBOY: THE GOLDEN ARMY, LEGION (FILM)
BUG:

If anybody resembles a walking talking tree it's KEVIN GREVIOUX! He's
like a MIGHTY OAK! I see GROOT also with an AMERICAN VOICE and KEVIN
GREVIOUX'S POWERFUL DEEP VOICE is PERFECT!

GROOT:
CGI + KEVIN GREVIOUX (VOICE)
MARK VALLEY didn't get to play CAPTAIN AMERICA so MAJOR VICTORY
is the next best thing! MARK is a real former soldier who served in
DESERT STORM.
MARK VALLEY, 5'10”: SHREK THE THIRD (FILM), THE 4400, BOSTON LEGAL,
FRINGE (TV)
VANCE ASTRO (MAJOR VICTORY):
MARK VALLEY, WITH CGI
I had JASON BEHR for NAMOR once a long time ago. He has played tough-guys
before and an alien in TV'S ROSWELL so I thought he would be great for the
heroic “OUTER SPACE”-JACK FLAG.
JASON BEHR, 6': SKINWALKERS, THE TATOOIST (FILM)
JACK FLAG (JACK HARRISON):
JASON BEHR
SUPPORTING CAST:
JARED PADALECKI has always been my choice for RICHARD RYDER. This is
the OLDER RICHARD RYDER, NOVA.

NOVA (RICHARD RYDER):
JARED PADALECKI
KAREL RODEN played RASPUTIN in HELLBOY and has the wry “BITING” wit
to voice the artificially evolutionarily advanced RUSSIAN space dog,
COSMO, who is the caretaker of the space station, KNOWWHERE.
KAREL RODEN: BLADE II, HELLBOY, THE BOURNE SUPREMACY,
ROCKNROLLA, ORPHAN (FILM)

DENNIS HAYSBERT has the “VOICE” and the stature to play the “INFINITELY”
evil alien, THANOS, who worships “DEATH”.

THE MAGUS is ADAM WARLOCK'S evil “other-self” who thinks he is a GOD and
who created the Cosmic Cult, “THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH OF TRUTH”. His goal
is to give all lifeforms a purpose: WORSHIP HIM OR DIE!
