GOTG: Michael Rooker On Yondu; "There’s Hope In This Character"

Michael Rooker has proven one of the toughest nuts to crack when it comes to getting any information out of him about his role in Marvel's upcoming space adventure, Guardians Of The Galaxy, and that continues in a recent interview with Total Film. Try as they might, they just can't get too much out of the former Walking Dead hard-case -- BUT, he does hint that his character Yondu might be more than just a straight-up villain in the movie. "There’s hope in this character," he reveals to the mag. "But the stuff going on… I can’t talk about it but… it’s challenging." Sounds like we might be in for another somewhat sympathetic bad guy. Rooker also talks about how long he has to spend in makeup, what it's been like to work with the cast and director, and how he interacts with his fans -- but he clams up again when asked what sort of powers and abilities we can expect to see from Yondu, suggesting only that he'll be a formidable physical pretense. "Y’know, most of the roles I play, just by it being who I am – normally they’re somewhat formidable individuals. That’s just sort of my look and my build. So we utilize that in almost everything I’ve done, and it’s the same in Guardians." More at the link below.
