Haven't a clue. This is what it says, notice the

word...

[Show spoiler]According to JoBlo's sources the main villain in Guardians Of The Galaxy will not be Thanos, nor will it be the recently rumored Collector (Controller?), but Ronan the Accuser, the ruler of the Kree! This character has not only battled the GOTG in the comics but also the likes of The Fantastic Four, and The Inhumans -- so this could well be a way for Marvel to expand and tie into other cosmic themed movies later down the line. We know that actor Lee Pace was recently cast as the main villain in James Gunn's movie, so although JoBlo can't confirm as much, it'd be a safe bet that if this is accurate he'll be playing Ronan. Will this eventually build to the Kree/Skrull war? Only time will tell.

It's safe to assume Thanos will be the main villain for Avengers 2.

Let's be brutally honest: They WOULDN'T BE DOING this movie if he wasn't.
The Fantastic Four or the Silver Surfer would make far more sense, but were seeing other studios.

MAJOR -POTENTIAL- SPOILERS

[Show spoiler] + Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely are polishing the final draft of the script.

+ The Nova Corps reportedly play a big role in the film. Marvel Studios has made an offer to John C. Reilly to play their leader, Rhomann Dey.

+ Michael Rooker, will be playing Yondu who will actually be the villain of the piece.

+ Lee Pace will switch sides from villain to hero in the film. He's possibly playing Nova (Richard Rider), Adam Warlock or Mar-Vell.

+ Gamora will have super strength and speed. Drax is practically invulnerable and possesses flight ability along with the capacity to fire cosmic blasts (think old school Drax). Rocket Raccoon is an intergalactic prison guard.

+ Other characters appearing include Wal Russ, Kronos and Nick Fury.

+ Thanos will not be the villain of the film.

+ Groot comes to Earth looking to experiment on humans.

Hitfix just posted a pretty "meaty" article outlining the current state of James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy. The site seems fairly certain that Captain America: The Winter Soldier screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have been hired to do the final once-over on the script. They also report that Marvel nearly gave that task to Iron Man 3 screenwriter Drew Pearce before selecting Markus and McFeely.

I'm guessing the site has gotten their hands on the script because they divulge pretty significantt details about a few of the characters so stop reading here if you don't want any SPOILERS.
They confirm that Gamora (Zoë Saldaña) will be the adopted daughter of Thanos and will possess super strength and speed in addition to being deadly with a blade. Thanos actually wiped out her entire race as an infant and raised her to be a living weapon. When she learned of these details she managed to break free of Thanos' grip. Drax (Dave Bautista) will maintain his classic comic book backstory as a reincarnated soul by Kronos. He will be able to fly, shoot cosmic blasts and will of course have super human strength. Rocket Racoon will be a guard at The Keystone Quadrant, "an intergalactic asylum for the criminally insane." His initial partner will be Wal Russ. Yondu, played by Michael Rooker will actually be a space pirate and the film's villain the site claims. Lee Pace's role is currently unspecified but HitFix says his character will be switching sides and that his character is being looked at for a spin-off potential. They speculate that he's possibly playing Nova, Adam Warlock or even Captain Marvel! Interesting enough, the site says Groot comes to Earth, looking to experiment on humans but Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) talks him out of it.

Probably the most interesting bit of info is the report that one of the most important figures in the movie will be the character, Rhomann Dey. HitFix reports that Marvel has already made an offer to John C. Reilly to play the part. The character has been described as "the Agent Coulson of the "Guardians" movie. However unlike Coulson, Rhomann Dey is the leader of his organization and in the comic books, he eventually passes his powers to Richard Rider, better known as the superhero Nova. Dey will reportedly be in communication with S.H.I.E.L.D. during the film.

The last bit of news is that Rhomann Dey will have a "peer" someone that's a "liaison" between the Nova Corps and the Guardians of the Galaxy. The name of this character isn't specified but Marvel is reportedly looking at such actors as Hugh Laurie, Alan Rickman, and Ken Watanabe for the part.

Same here. Even if all that is true, by the time this comes out next year I won't remember reading any of that.

[UK_fan_05]

That sounds good actually.

[FlyYouFools]

I'm a bit of a comic nerd but I've never read a GOTG comic. That synopsis sounded good though.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 is coming out 2 May 14, so Marvel is releasing Cap 2 one month earlier than usual.

April is Marvel's release month internationally. They usually release the first week of May in the US, with certain territories getting it a week or two earlier in late April. They did this with Iron Man 1,2&3, Thor and The Avengers.
