Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand - with the galaxy’s fate in the balance. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is presented by Marvel Studios and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gilian, Djimon Hounsou with John C. Reilly, Glenn Close as Commander Rael and Benicio del Toro as The Collector. Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, the film opens August 1, 2014

I am the true master of avatar making....and I've already grown tired of this one.

Time to dust off an oldie.

His teeth are so crooked

blackandyellow - 7/9/2014, 7:56 AM

I didn't know Yondu was British.

manofsteel1942 - 7/9/2014, 8:04 AM

Must be related to Kirsten Dunst.

Dotanuki - 7/9/2014, 8:06 AM

From what I've seen, I really hope that this movie gets an Oscar nod for make-up and, maybe, SFX.

yossarian - 7/9/2014, 8:09 AM

I set up a meeting tomorrow morning to talk to my boss about going to Detroit this fall with him. I have no business going, this should be fun.

SilverShamrock - 7/9/2014, 8:09 AM

Not that it's terribly surprising to see Rooker working with James Gunn again, but I think it's wonderful that one of the best character actors working today now has a place in the MCU. I met Rooker at a convention last year just as filming had begun on GOTG. He had actually flown there directly from London and took his hat off to show us his mohawk. A Yondu comic book poster was on the wall behind him. He wouldn't say much about the film to me, and gave the predictable response that "this one is going to be the best [film I've made with Gunn] yet." Based on what I've seen so far, I would say that hyperbole is going to turn out to be correct in the end.

.....

My teeth are fine.

slickrickdesigns - 7/9/2014, 8:11 AM

Sexy Teeth.. Are those Rookers or Yondus?

slickrickdesigns - 7/9/2014, 8:12 AM

I think this would make a great poster in the dentist office..

RancidBane - 7/9/2014, 8:15 AM

Looks good wonder how bug of a role Yondu will have

TheMadman - 7/9/2014, 8:18 AM

Those aren't his real teeth, are they?

MercwithMouth - 7/9/2014, 8:19 AM

He's... He's ... He's just...so...beautiful!

@cipher

A fine whisky will keep them pearly whites nice.

yossarian - 7/9/2014, 8:23 AM

Hey, remember the rumor that Dr. Strange casting would be announced in August? And remember how what's his nuts is allegedly in the stinger in GOTG?

What if Fillion is Dr. Strange?

cipher - 7/9/2014, 8:27 AM

Yep. That's my secret.

cipher - 7/9/2014, 8:32 AM

Will the idea of Fillion as Strange piss off a lot of people? That's usually how I decide whether or not I support something.

gambgel - 7/9/2014, 8:34 AM

bald Beast :D

slickrickdesigns - 7/9/2014, 8:34 AM

Fillion as Dr Strange?? I doubt it.

GhostDog - 7/9/2014, 8:35 AM

Daaaaaamn. My man been skipping the dentist

pintoman - 7/9/2014, 8:35 AM

Fillion as Strange would be...watchable...

slickrickdesigns - 7/9/2014, 8:35 AM

Maybe hes Nova...
