According to Deadline, Gordon-Levitt is the latest addition to Marvel Studios' shortlist to take on the lead role in the James Gunn-directed space epic. While the site can't confirm that he has been formally offered the role, he's definitely in the mix. Joel Edgerton (Warrior), Lee Pace (The Hobbit), Eddie Redmayne (Les Miserables), Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire) and Jim Sturgess (Cloud Atlas) all signed test deals with Marvel, while Zachary Levi (Thor: The Dark World) and an unnamed actor were later connected to the role. Additionally, there has been interest in Garrett Hedlund (TRON: Legacy), James Marsden (X-Men) and Sullivan Stapleton (300: Rise Of An Empire).
