Michael Rooker had previously shown interest in playing Rocket Raccoon in James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy. Well, he may not have landed that role, but the actor will be joining the cast of the upcoming space epic.

Rooker will play Yondu, a game hunter of a primitive tribe native to Centauri IV who teams up with the Guardians Of The Galaxy as one of the founding members in the comics. Will he be one in the film as well? Guess we’ll have to wait and find out. Rooker will join Chris Pratt, Dave Batista and Zoe Saldana in the upcoming Marvel Studios film.
