No one really expected much from Guardians of the Galaxy when it was released back in 2014, but it massively exceeded expectations and opened the door to a new, cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Things would never be the same again for this shared world after our trip into outer space, and this gallery of concept art reveals just how different the movie's heroes could have looked. From comic accurate takes on Gamora to unrecognisable versions of Star-Lord and Yondu, it's clear that a lot of crazy ideas were considered.

We also have keyframes depicting a number of big moments along with some must-see alien and spaceship designs which shed some light on how this cosmic adventure was created.

There's a lot here to delve into, so to check out this newly revealed Guardians of the Galaxy concept art, simply hit the "View List" button below.

So the editors on here get paid to show shit from 5 years ago cool

@blitzburgh - lol.

these are better designs for Gamora and Korath, Gamora doesn't look like a painted human, they should have give her a darker skin color and Drax a lighter skin color,
I'm sure Korath wasn't blue because Djimon Hounsou didn't wanted a full make-up,
anyway great movies, can't wait for Vol. 3

@IcemanX - I always liked Gamora without the hood up better, bit I think the one we got is alright too. In the Endgame art book, I read and saw some designs for Nebula with the hair, and those are the ones I wish we got. But, I'm still cool with what we got.

Daaaaaaamn.
This is the film we need.

blitzburgh - 12/31/2019, 4:44 AM

@IronGenesis - nah

KingGrimlock - 12/30/2019, 7:36 PM

Gamora with the hood looks awesome and I wish we got that look.

GhostDog - 12/30/2019, 7:36 PM

Gamora looks SO MUCH BETTER here. Like wow.

Chewtoy - 12/30/2019, 7:43 PM

I’ve always been disappointed in the final design of Gamora... The very faint tech stuff on her face, the magenta hair instead of green, the nondescript clothing... they toned everything down so much that she’s just not very visually striking.

I’m not sure that I’m sold on any of these, but they make much more of an impression.

@Chewtoy - Even Zoe looks a little disappointed in the final look. 😜
