Aside from his work with Gunn, Henry has appeared in a plethora of movies and tv shows, including the likes of Payback, United 93, The Riches, Hung and AMC's The Killing -- he's also worked with Joss Whedon in both Firefly Dollhouse. Who could he be playing in GOTG? It might well be a minor character of course, and maybe not even one from Marvel canon..but you never know! Do you think he suits any established characters?

@MAC

I am more of a DC fan but this movie has me excited. Warlock is a badass you need to just google him and read up on him and the impact he had on the Marvel universe etc.....

@MAC I never thought about, but now that I do, I can see there are similarities between Drax and Orion.

@MartianAbominationClone

What is "Earth-like informality"? For all we know, he's actually speaking informally in an alien language, but without subtitles for the audience's benefit.


Besides, THOR already established that aliens can speak English, so there really shouldn't be any confusion about this aspect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. No one wants to watch characters struggling to learn each other's language every time they first meet. (This is why the Universal Translator is used as a device on STAR TREK).

Peter Serafanowicz, the guy in the background, said what a bunch of a-holes. Not John C. Reilly.

Also, I think Rhomann will at least look alien after production is finished.

As for Warlock, the Soul Gem is an Infinity Gem belonging on Thanos' most prized possession, the Infinity Gauntlet. To obtain the gem, Thanos has to kill Warlock. Drax and Warlock are Thanos' biggest enemies.

And yeah, everything in GotG is translated to the appropriate language so everyone can underatand the various languages. As long as they mention that, problem solved.

And don't forget Mar-Vell! He's a possibility. I can picture the actor with blue skin.

@MAC. As far as how they look, they just started filming and managed to get footage done that fast for the comic-con. Its not finished. They have time to tweak the make up and cgi in post production like @Nova said.

JoJo1982 - 8/19/2013, 9:36 AM
Maybe he's voicing rocket raccoon....

Saying as his characters in payback and slithers was big wise cracking ppl

Djimon is looked very alien in the footage, so I bet Lee Pace's Ronan will too

There's a later image in which he has bright pink skin and purple "hair".

Kryptonians were an alien race and looked just like humans AND spoke English on Krypton.. Sinestro is an alien and speaks english. How is that any different?
