Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy continues the ramp up to next month's debut, and following yesterday's reveal of three new character posters for some of the supporting cast, today sees the villains getting their time in the spotlight. The images feature Djimon Hounsou as Korath, he of the infamous "Who?" we've seen in a thousand trailers and TV spots, Karen Gillan as Nebula, and Lee Pace as Ronan the Accuser. With the exception of Hounsou everyone here is virtually unrecognizable, a credit to the Marvel make-up team.
Directed by James Gunn and starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Josh Brolin, and Benicio Del Toro, Guardians of the Galaxy opens August 1st.
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.
