On Marvel's upcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy animated series, the man who'll say "I am Groot" so often he may actually begin to believe he's a giant sentient tree-alien is Kevin Michael Richardson, who is definitely no stranger to voicing animated incarnations of well known comic book characters. Richardson has played the likes of Bishop in Wolverine and the X-Men, Nick Fury in Super Hero Squad, and the Joker in 2004's The Batman. Interestingly enough, he also voiced Groot once before on Hulk And The Agents Of S.M.A.S.H. Apparently we'll find out who'll be playing Star Lord, Drax, Gamora and Rocket as the week goes on. Marvel will produce the series, with Alan Fine, Dan Buckley, Joe Quesada and Jeph Loeb on board as as executive producers.

Marvel's animated series have been hit and miss (okay, more miss!) in the past so hopefully this lives up to its potential. You guys looking forward to it?

Wonder why they couldn't just use Vin's recorded vocals from the movie.

Hopefully this is good, Marvel Animation has been continuously letting us down ever since they canned Avengers EMH.

Actually, I hope we get a REALLY good Guardians animated series. Earth's Mightiest Heroes was VERY good, for the most part. So hopefully we'll get something like that, or even Wolverine and the X-Men, which is one of my all-time fav comic book animated series.

A toast to wishful thinking!!

That animation would make things even worse if the writing can't compensate.

Dandy - Yeah that too, honestly Marvel Animations is just a big pile of disappointment. I just hope this series turns out to be good, lord have mercy on us if it's the same quality as Avengers Assemble/Hulk and the Agents of SMASH.

I have no faith in this series whatsoever. But, I'd like to be pleasantly proved wrong.
It's still going to suck something awful though.
