Marvel’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Gets a Rewrite; Team Line-Up Clarified

Phase Two of the development of the Marvel Cinematic Universe begins with Iron Man 3, which shot this summer, and continues with Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Solider.

But while the first phase led to the blockbuster team-up movie The Avengers, this second wave heads out into space for something a little more strange. Guardians of the Galaxy, oft-mentioned by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige as a project the company hoped to tackle, will be released in 2014, and the company is moving forward with a rewrite of the existing script.

THR announces that three-time Black List screenwriter Chris McCoy is
going to rewrite the ”space adventure movie” for Marvel. The three scripts of McCoy’s that landed on the annual list of popular unproduced screenplays are: Get Back (200); Good Looking (2009); and Good Kids (2011). The trade cites McCoy’s “quirky comedic bent,” which will almost certainly be an asset when trying to adapt the story of a patched-together team of characters that includes a talking raccoon and a sentient tree.

The previous script was by Nicole Perlman, who came up in Marvels’ writer’s program, and wrote two real-life space-themed films, about Neil Armstrong and the Space Shuttle Challenger.



THR also clarifies just which team we’ll see, for those who couldn’t visually ID the characters (above) when concept art was released at Comic Con:

Drax The Destroyer, a human resurrected as a green warrior with the sole purpose of killing Thanos (the villain in the Avengers final scene tease); Groot, a giant tree-man; Star-Lord, a gun-toting half-human/half-alien inter-galactic vigilante; Rocket Raccoon, a genetically engineered animal with a knack for guns and explosives; and Gamora, the last survivor of her species who was saved by Thanos to be his assassin but now battles him.

The Avengers succeeded in part because the team was made up of characters that Marvel had intriduced to audiences over a period of a couple years — even those who don’t know much about the source material were able to go into the film with an idea of how the heroes were going to interact, and how they might clash.

Guardians of the Galaxy is a different beast altogether, or so it seems at this point. While we might get a few more clues to the characters in Marvel’s upcoming films, the studio is now looking like it will attempt to create a very unusual team lineup with characters few audiences know, fighting a villain who has to date been seen only in a couple brief shots, and who most people would also be at a loss to identify.

Risky stuff, but that’s also what makes it interesting and potentially exciting. I have no idea what to expect from this one, and I can understand those who are already projecting doom for the film, saying it sounds too much like Green Lantern. But many people thought The Avengers was going to fail, too, and it did exactly the opposite, in spectacular fashion. For reasons mentioned above it’s too early to assume the same fate for Guardians, but I like seeing Marvel take another huge leap.

Yeah, ok, it's really easy to make judgement calls when a movie hasn't even started filming yet...

Kinda a little early to make that call given we have next to nothing to go on.

I think I am going to wait on making a prediction as well. While I know virtually nothing about this property, it sounds interesting. If done right, it could be a very good film. Weird superhero space movies: Thor- well made film with good cast, good script, and really good direction = success. Green Lantern- decent cast, sub-par script, messy story-telling = failure (relatively speaking). One might say Thor had the advantage of normal looking humans; normal looking humans who were mythical gods travelling through wormholes fighting Ice Giants. I don't know. I find the premise of GotG to be intriguing and has the potential to be a highly enjoyable film.

I wonder if people thought 10 hours of people walking and fighting through Middle Earth would bomb ten years ago. People should be smart enough not to make bold assumptions when they have no knowledge of something.

Who could be the voice of RR? I vote for the voice actor who does Raiden from MGS. lol...

I'm not sure if his British accent is exactly what RR's voice is like, but Ray Winstone's hefty voice would be incredibly badass coming out of that little body.

Haven't you heard??? I'm from the future travelling through time warning moviegoers of future shitfests. I'd stay away from THOR 2 if i was you.

I'd argue they missed the mark on Incredible hulk, Iron man 2 and THOR.

Interested to see how they make the connection to the other marvel movies, if at all, for the lay viewer. If you don't know who Thanos is then you'd likely not get the connection. So I imagine a lesser character from the next thor movie might bridge the gap somehow, or maybe Nova comes into play.
hmm, still this movie is a great way to introduce Thanos as a big baddie, and the next Thor movie sets up Thanos play at the infinity gauntlet...
I have high hopes

i never understood what people didn't like about Iron Man 2.

Thor is great. The Incredible Hulk is the weakest out of the 6 even though i still enjoyed it and would give it a 3.5/4 out of 5.

You are certianly entitled to your opinion of which movies you like and don't like, but which of those "bombed"?

Hey, watch the Thor talk, don't make me come "down under" and tighten you up!

I was there between 82 & 83 in the NAVY so I still know my way around! You weren't born in 83 or 84, were you?

Yeah, a movie set in space where one guy has a sword, there's an alien covered in fur, and they use lasers and fantastic abilities to fight an evil overlord who is trying to take over the galaxy. There's never been anything like that before that's been successful.

I'm not saying those movies bombed, I'm saying that those movies did not live up to their potential.

87 So unless your little ones take awhile to reach it's destination, I think you're in the clear.

Well Marvel is gonna have a hell of a time trying to market a team of un relatable space members which includes a furry rodent with a gun and a guy that looks like a tree
