Marvel revealed new photos of Chris Pratt and Karen Gillan from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Pratt plays Peter Quill aka Star-Lord (just ask him, he’ll tell ya.) The Earth man raised in space will eventually meet up with other rogues and form the Guardians.
Gillan shed her red locks after Doctor Who to go bald and blue as Nebula – a ruthless mercenary with a connection to Thanos, last seen as the mastermind of Loki’s invasion in The Avengers.
Here’s the official film description:
“From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team–the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon; Groot, a tree-like humanoid; the deadly and enigmatic Gamora; and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand–with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.”
Guardians of the Galaxy opens August 1.
Quill is getting his own comic book series. New details about the Legendary Star-Lord coming later today.
