Briefly: Ever since Lee Pace, Benicio Del Toro, and Karen Gillan were added to the ranks of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the internet has been ripe with speculation on which characters the actors would be playing. Del Toro’s role has been called ” a multi-picture deal for a character that will have a big part in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” so that casting has been particularly interesting to fans.
Den of Geek has just confirmed with an unknown source just who the trio will portray in the film. Del Toro plays The Collector (one of the oldest beings in the universe, who collects things that would otherwise be destroyed), Pace is Ronan The Accuser (a Kree alien who has toyed with both sides of the force), and Gillan will portray Nebula (a space pirate who insists that she’s the granddaughter of Thanos).
Again, nothing’s official until it’s announced, but this is definitely an exciting rumour that, if true, could hold many secrets of what’s to come later in Phase Two. What do you think of the casting choices?
Guardians of the Galaxy hits theatres on August 1st, 2014.
