In April, Bleeding Cool spotted casting calls for Guardians of the Galaxy that began with the phrase "Marvel super hero film." After those casting calls were posted online they were quickly rephrased so that they removed language that clearly stated which production they were from. Since then casting calls that appear to be for GOTG have been a bit harder to spot. But I've matched key phrases and dates, and confidently believe the casting calls below are for James Gunn's film.
