Marvel Eyeing Jim Carrey And Adam Sandler For Role In ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

by Shawn Madden

Two new names have joined the list of actors that Marvel is eyeing for a role in James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy. According to Latino Review, who is pretty reliable when it comes to Marvel Studios projects, Marvel Studios is looking at some big name comedic actors for a role in their upcoming space epic and are asking about the availability of both Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler. Don’t worry, these two aren’t joining the list of actors up for the role of Peter Quill aka Star-Lord. It’s obvious that these two are being looked at for either the role (or roles?) of the gun-toting Rocket Raccoon or his buddy Groot, who will be the comedic relief of the film.

Well, it’s either that or Cosmo the space dog. Also, keep in mind that looking into the availability of an actor definitely isn’t the same as casting the actor. With shooting set to begin in a few months though, expect official casting announcements for the highly-anticipated Marvel Studios film to begin very soon.

Three Actors Up For The Role Of Drax The Destroyer In Marvel’s ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

by Shawn Madden

There’s been quite a bit of casting talk recently regarding the role of Peter Quill aka Star-Lord in Marvel Studios Guardians Of The Galaxy. But with the production on the film set to begin soon, what about the rest of the cast?

Apparently a source close to the production has revealed that Isaiah Mustafa (who you may know best as The Old Spice Guy), Brian Patrick Wade (The Guardian) and Dave Bautista (The Man With The Iron Fists) are all currently in negotiations for the role of Drax The Destroyer in the James Gunn directed space-epic. In the comics, Drax was an a human named Arthur Douglas whose family was attacked and killed by Thanos . The being known as Kronos took the soul of Douglas and placed it in a powerful new body to challenge and destroy Thanos. Thus, Drax The Destroyer was born. However, it has been revealed that they will be changing the character’s story for the film.

With filming expected to begin very soon we can expected to hear some official announcements regarding casting very soon.

Michael Rosenbaum Joins List Of Actors Up For Star-Lord In Marvel’s ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

by Shawn Madden

Just earlier today it was revealed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was on the list of contenders  for the role of Peter Quill aka Star-Lord in Marvel Studios highly-anticipated Guardians Of The Galaxy. Based on that we assumed that maybe he was the mystery actor who had read for the role before the holidays. Well, it appears we may have been wrong because just a short while ago actor Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville) revealed that he is also in the mix for the role in Marvel’s upcoming space epic.

The fan-favorite actor has actually already previously worked with director James Gunn in the past. There’s definitely a chance that Gunn may be going after someone that he’s more familiar working with for the role. But then there’s plenty of great candidates on this ever-growing list and with production set to begin in a few months an official announcement regarding who lands the role should be expected soon.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Latest Candidate For Star-Lord In Marvel’s ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

by Shawn Madden

It appears that the list of actors up for the role of Peter Quill aka Star Lord in Marvel Studios Guardians Of The Galaxy just got a bit more interesting. Before Christmas it was revealed that among the shortlist that was already revealed, both Zachary Levi (Thor: The Dark World) and an unnamed actor were also up for the role.

Well, it appears that Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises, Looper) is the latest candidate for the role in the James Gunn directed space epic.  While it is unclear if Gordon-Levitt has been offered the role, his name is definitely in the mix over at Marvel Studios. After his performances in Looper and The Dark Knight Rises this year, Levitt is definitely a great candidate for the role. With production set to begin in a few months an official announcement regarding who lands the role should be expected soon.

Jim Sturgess & Zack Levi Frontrunners For ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Star-Lord Role

by Shawn Madden

Even though five actors were tested last week for the lead role in Marvel’s upcoming space-epic Guardians Of The Galaxy, it appears that only three actors remain up for the role of Peter Quill AKA Star-Lord, the leader of the team. According to Variety, actor Jim Sturgess (Cloud Atlas) and Zachary Levi (Thor: The Dark World) are the frontrunners for the role in the Marvel Studios film.

It’s worth noting that Levi wasn’t originally included on the shortlist that was revealed a short while back and is already appearing in one of Marvel Studios “Phase Two” movies at the moment, playing the role of Fandral The Dashing in Thor: The Dark World. But apparently Marvel is so impressed with his screen-test, that they’re “open to continuing their relationship.” There is also word that an unnamed third actor may be tested after the holidays for the role. With the list narrowing down and production set to begin sometime next year expect official word in the next few months regarding the role.

Stan Lee Confirms That Dr. Strange Movie Is Indeed Happening!

by Shawn Madden

While Marvel Studios “Phase Two” has yet to begin, people are already wondering what exactly “Phase Three” will bring us. Both Doctor Strange and Black Panther have long been rumored to to be hitting the big screen eventually from Marvel Studios.

Now, in a recent interview Stan Lee says that you can definitely except to see Marvel’s Sorcerer Supreme coming to the big screen and a Black Panther film IS indeed being developed. Could one of these be the secret film project that Joe Quesada is working on?

“Oh they are all being made into movies! I can tell you there will definitely be a Dr. Strange movie! They are working on Antman, which requires really small cameras! Black Panther is being developed, one of my favorites…the Inhumans…All the hero’s will eventually be made into movies.”

This isn’t the first time Stan The Man has talked about these project before. But in the past Lee only stated that these were being considered for adaptation. A Inhumans film was actually talked about by Kevin Feige in the past before any word of Guardians Of The Galaxy was announced. Could that be the cosmic movie of “Phase Three”?

Lee also spoke a small amount about his Executive Producing responsibilities, and stated that really doesn’t do anything.

“I have very little control. I don’t see the script, occasionally I will have lunch with the director or a star, like the guy making Antman,I don’t remember his name- I don’t remember names, or Robert Downey Jr., for Ironman and we talk about the characters.”

Lee went on to explain that the only time he actually has anything to do with the film is his cameos and just like us he’s a fan that gets excited to see these films for the first times at their premieres. When asked about how he felt about the movies:

“I love them! I feel like an actor! I can’t wait to be in the credits and also think that the Oscars should add a category for “best cameo”! But wait until you see my cameo is Ironman 3. It’s the best one so far!”

by Shawn Madden

Alongside the confirmation that Frank Grillo will portray the villainous Crossbones, Variety has also revealed that we will see another addition to the growing cast of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Samuel Jackson and Scarlett Johansson will be both be reprising their roles in the sequel with S.H.I.E.L.D. playing a major role in the film. So, this should come as no surprise that Cobie Smulders will be back as Agent Maria Hill. Her role in the sequel will most likely be minor.

‘Justice League’ To Shoot Next Year For Summer 2015 Release

by Shawn Madden

Now that Warner Bros. has won their case against the Schuster Heir’s for the rights to Superman it seems that the studio can now focus on bringing their various heroes together for the planned Justice League flick.

We already knew this one was in the works, but  apparently a loss yesterday would have meant serious problems for any further use of one their main character’s key mythology on-screen would have been a major issue for the film. But now, according to The LA Times, who cite a “a knowledgeable person not authorized to discuss the matter publicly”, Warner Bros. is moving full speed ahead with the project.

“Warner hopes to shoot the film next year and release it in the summer of 2015. The studio already has a “Justice League” script in the works. Next it needs to attach a director and then cast the lead roles.”

So, summer of 2015 we may see the ultimate super-showdown between Justice League and the sequel to The Avengers in theaters. The site also confirm that WB are taking a reverse approach than Marvel took when it comes to bringing their characters to the big screen. It seems their plan is “to spin out other superheroes into their own movies following”. I’m a little shaky on that one myself. And to be honest, after the box office powerhouse that The Avengers was combined with their Phase Two films keeping people interested in these characters…I definitely can see the sequel dominating the box office again in 2015.

Joe Quesada Reveals That Marvel Currently Has Another Movie In The Works

by Shawn Madden

Newsarama caught up with Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada during New York Comic Con where they chatted it up about a number of things. The first thing Quesada talked about was Guardians Of The Galaxy. He revealed that you can expect the new Guardians Of The Galaxy title for Marvel NOW! to go along with the movie in some ways.

“There is stuff that I know is going on with the movie that we might be able to apply to the Marvel Cosmic Universe. And try and develop that Synergy. Not to copy one from the other, but to make it look like it’s on the same page.”

He also stated that it is important to make sure that not only is it important to capture what the comic book fans want in these projects, but also to make sure general audiences understand what they are seeing in these movies.

Quesada also revealed that there is currently a secret project that him and Marvel Studios are working on right now.

“There is a project I am very much involved in, and I’ll give you this hint. I have to go to the West Coast to work on it. There have been rumors about it little things have leaked here and there, but there has been no official announcement.”

So, looking at things, there are a couple of movies that have been talked about but nothing official up to now but there are definitely two major ones. We could possibly be looking at a Black Panther or Doctor Strange film to finally be announced but it will most likely not happen until next year’s San Diego Comic-Con most likely.

In the aftermath of Marvel’s Thor and Marvel’s The Avengers, Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.

‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Characters Getting Visual & Story Updates

by Shawn Madden

Another piece of news coming from the guys over at Latino Review, who so far have been pretty spot on when it comes to Marvel Studios, is that three of the characters in Guardians Of The Galaxy are getting a little more focus at the moment.

Star-Lord, Gamora and Drax The Destroyer will be getting visual and backstory updates to meld them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s easy to see where Star-Lord fits in with the plot synopsis of the film being “a U.S. pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone wants.” You can also tell from the concept art alone that his suit is definitely going to be different than the Star-Lord we’re used to in the comics.

Basically, look for these backstories to get a slight change to make more sense as far as the movies are concerned and their costumes to get a bit of a touch up. Gamora and Drax’s backstories are mainly getting updates due to their connection with the Mad Titan, Thanos.
