According to Bleeding Cool, they have learned that Brian Muir, the movie prop sculptor who worked on the Ark of the Covenant for Raiders of the Lost Ark (as well as the iconic props and costumes mentioned in the teaser above and many, many more) is currently hard at work on Guardians of the Galaxy at Pinewood Studios in London. He also worked on Thor: The Dark World. When they asked their sources whether or not he is crafting Star-Lord's mask, they were "given the run around", although they did find out that "there’s something of a Star Wars vibe to the plans for Guardians." This is very good news for the movie, especially if we're going to see the costumes which were featured in the above piece of concept art unveiled at last year's San Diego Comic Con.

Hate to be a negative Nancy...buuuuttt...all this "just like "Star Wars" talk reminds me how Green Lantern was touted in the months leading to its release. I just hope the outcome isn't the same.

Nova (or at least the corps) will be in it... otherwise the Nova craft wouldn't be in the top left corner of the GOTG concept art.

Think the GOTG will appear on the Nova corps radar and they will initially suspect them as a threat until the truth comes out and the GOTG and the corps will have to cooperate to take Thanos/The Other/Magus/Warlock down.

I was hoping this'd have a Star Wars vibe.

I guess we can at least guarantee it'll look great.

@ckal Marvel tends to do origins first. You could tell the Guardians' origins in one movie, but Nova would need a separate movie because of the Nova Corps.

It'd be cool to see that movie made. It'd be hilarious to see Marvel make a good Green Lantern movie before WB.

@ckal maybe there could be a Nova cameo/post credit scene if we're lucky, hinting at a Phase 3 solo movie?

I want this to be the best GOTG it can be . . . no "SW" feel. Green Lantern tried to promote itself as "Star Wars" of comic books or something like that & it tanked.

If that panel alone between Rocket & Thanos is in a movie (Not necessarily this one), but a possible future GOTG movie & is said word for word, that will be like a half serious / half comedic tone that would be epic & solidify Rocket as both a comedic & serious character.

General audience is gonna eat this up!

The choices being made for people working on this film from casting to director to art department is unparalleled!

Hope it's a huge success.

Star-Lord's duds in that concept art are part of what sold me on this movie. I hope they use that look, helmet and all. Maybe they can use an interior helmet view like Iron Man so we can still see Chris Pratt's face when he's wearing it.

If Adam Warlock makes it in we can rest assuredly that Infinity Gauntlet will happen. Someday.

GL was created by the studio that brought you the Matrix and Cloud Atlas. What you get is brightly colored, post modernist sci-fi which without good story people would find meh and garish. Because the visual magic ain't there, not going to be close to Star Wars.

GOTG on the other hand has the benefit of Lucasfilm and ILM division inside Disney. The chance of getting the same SW feel goes up significantly. But I think the budget will restrain it a bit.

To sum:
GL - WB, Matrix
GOTG - Disney, Lucasfilm and ILM dudes

Green Lantern scarred my brain so bad for the phrase, "It's gonna be the 'Star Wars' of CBMs."

So bad that I been blowing off dis hype for the GOTG movie, so bad, for too long. Talented, creative, forward-thinking casting. Intriguing director choice. But then I just got it... Disney owns Star Wars. Literally. Disney owns Marvel. Disney owns Lucasfilm. Under one roof. Lucasfilm can help Disney...that [frick]ing mouse...AND MARVEL. THE MOTHER[frick]ERS WHO MADE STAR WARS CAN MAKE THE GOTG MOVIE WITH MARVEL AND DISNEY!!! WITHOUT [frick]ING GEORGE LUCAS!!! ahahahhahaha... oh shit! and it's based on a bad ass Marvel comic? EVEN BETTER.

BUT YEAH...like totally like they're working on a Justice League movie... RIGHT. After GL and TKDR sucked. Man of Steel, unhyped for now. Impress me. A cold blooded Kevin Costner justifying sacrificing little kids to a young Kal-el? Cool thought. I just dont wanna see it. Just like I didnt wanna see Returns play the Jesus story/Blow Richard Donner for 2.5 hours. Make something cool...

Which is what the GOTG movie is looking to be: [frick]ING COOL.
