James Gunn’s Guardians of the
Galaxy will be a test for Marvel to see if they can successfully introduce
other not so famous characters and titles into their cinematic universe.
HitFix as the scoop on some of
the characters at play in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax played by
Dave Bautista, The Collector by Benicio Del Toro, Nova Prima Rael played by
Glenn Close and the ominous villain Thanos.
Regarding Bautista’s character,
the news outlet says that: "Driven by revenge, Drax has turned his body
into a road map of private misery and loss, with ornate tattoos that tell the
story of how he was left alone in the universe, filled with nothing now but
rage." They went on to say that "Every single person we spoke to on
the set talked about how blown away they were by what Bautista has been doing
with the role."
Del Toro’s character: "The
Guardians are going to need something from him, and we'll see what happens when
Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Gamora, Drax, and... Groot all show up on his planet
asking for access to something in that collection."
As for Thanos "He may well
be an off-screen presence a la The Emperor in the first Star Wars movie,"
which makes some sense since he is gearing up to be the main Villain in The
Avengers 3.
As for Glenn Close, director
James Gunn clarified the situation on his Facebook page saying that she will be
playing Nova Prima Rael, the higher ranking officer in the Nova Corps. “I don't
know where they got this 'Commander' stuff from."
Guardians of the Galaxy, stars Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker,
Ophelia Lovibond, Benicio Del Toro, Lee Pace, Karen Gillan, Djimon Honsou,
Gregg Henry, Glenn Close and John C. Reilly and opens on August 1st, 2014.

Synopsis:
From Marvel, the studio that
brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain
America and The Avengers, comes a new team – the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed epic space adventure,
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 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. The film releases August 1, 2014, and
is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
