Today's cover image is fitting if you consider the fact that Rocket Raccoon is going to be appearing on the big screen before the JLA get their chance - now, who ever expected that to happen? I have only seen a bootleg snippet of footage from Guardians of the Galaxy so far, and I still don't know if Marvel will have another hit on their hands yet - but I have to admit that the characters I am most interested in - Rocket and Groot - both look very cool from a design standpoint at least. The key will be getting the right actor to provide Rocket's voice. My favorite suggestions so far have been Liam Neeson or Jason Statham - he needs a real tough guy sound to offset his height.
That bootleg trailer turned me from very passive about Guardians of the Galaxy to more excited to see it than any other announced Marvel movie. It looks like it'll do for James Gunn what Avengers did for Joss Whedon!
ReplyDeleteThe reason that ONLY Rocket Raccoon could deal with this villain was that he was a real NUT!
ReplyDeleteWith a cast (in GotG) including Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, John C. Reilly, and Glenn Close, I think it'd be hard for any director to make that movie bad.
ReplyDeleteRocket Raccoon & Ch'p!
ReplyDeletePersonally I'd like to see Jon Benjamin do the voice of Rocket Raccoon.
ReplyDeleteAwwww man! I agree...Ch'p and Rocket "what did you call me?" Raccoon
