Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians of the Galaxy

Considering Marvel’s huge space opera only started filming 10 days ago, they had an amazing amount of footage to show us. We see a desolate alien world, where Peter Quill, aka Starlord, is going inside an ancient temple. He uses a light globe to illuminate the interior, and then goes to steal an old alien orb.

Some alien cops come in with big guns to stop him. “Drop it now,” orders their leader, Borath (Djimon Hounsou). And he asks Quill who he is. “Starlord,” he replies. “Who?” Borath asks. “Starlord, man. Legendary outlaw.” Starlord is wounded. “Forget it.”

Then we see someone activate a wrist transceiver, and we’re in an alien prison, where five creatures have been arrested on Zandar. We see holographic “rapsheets” for all five of them — Drax the Destoryer, Gamora (Zoe Saldana), a personal death machine, Rocket Raccoon, who has over 50 charges of vehicular theft and escape from lockup, Groot, a houseplant/muscle, and then Starlord himself.

Rhomann Dey (John C. Reilly) narrates the whole thing with intense snark, especially when he gets to the part about how Peter Quill calls himself Starlord. Listening to this, Quill cranks up his middle finger as if he’s working a creaky machine. Later, Quill is in prison and Drax is listening to his personal stereo, which is playing a bouncy “gamba gamba” tune. Quill is offended — and then he gets tased.

And then we saw a montage of tons of action footage, including a two-headed alien shooting a gun, a prison riot, tons of Gamora putting the smackdown on people, Rocket Raccoon shooting a big gun with a vicious look on his face.

The footage ends with John C. Reilly saying, “They call themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy. What a bunch of A-holes.” And we see the five of them lined up, like the Usual Suspects.

And the actual Guardians panel included the whole main cast, including Michael Rooker (Merle from Walking Dead!) as Yondu, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Hounsou as Borath, Lee Pace as Ronan the Accuser, Benicio Del Toro as the Collector, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, and Chris Pratt as Starlord.

Asked about his character, Pratt joked, “I play a Fedex executive who goes down in an plane crash and has to go live on an island.”

Then he actually described his character: “Starlord is like this guy who lives in space. He’s kind of a jerk, he had a hard time as a kid, and now he goes around space making out with hot alien girls and kind of just being a rogue and a bit of a jerk. And through teaming up with these guys finds a higher purpose for himself which is to really care about… this family that he’s found.”

Saldana explained that she originally thought of Gamora as a tough “feisty” woman, but then realized that “she’s an assassin. I play an assassin from space.”

Lee Pace described Ronan: “He’s a very complicated Kree. He’s a beast. He’s an iconic character from Marvel since 1967.”

And then Djimon Hounsou made everybody lose their minds when he described Borath as “a great ally to Ronan and Thanos.” That last name being a bit of a surprise — the cosmic villain we glimpsed at the end of The Avengers.

Marvel movie panel nearly destroyed us with glorious madnessSEXPAND
People lost their minds again when Gillan peeled off her red-haired wig to reveal that she had shaved her head to look like the famously bald Nebula. “I’m sorry, I just got an urge, it just got better of me. I was a little worried I was going to look like an overgrown fetus it’s true. But it’s liberating.” Image via Ethan Anderton.

They got the wrong actress to play gamora…gamora is thick and muscular not a twig like that actress. I won’t buy her as a"living weapon"even for a split second.

KimuraLOX · July 21, 2013, 10:27am

Hawkingbird · July 21, 2013, 10:59am

Kusanagi02 · July 21, 2013, 7:46pm

I think thats what Starlord wears when he’s not in the armor kinda like how it is now in the Guardians of the Galaxy comic.

Kusanagi02 · July 21, 2013, 9:59pm

He can pull it off. But those pics above still looks kinda goofy I have to admit.
