So I've never been a big guardians fan but this casting is getting me very interested.
Today it was announced (as if trying to top Matt Smith's news about leaving Doctor Who), that Karen Gillan has been cast as the villain in this flick.
This is also off the heels of Glenn Close being announced as the head of ... I think Nova Corps? She has been basically cast as the equivalent role to Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury.
We also have Zoe Saldana (Star Trek reboots -- Uhura) as Gamora, Chris Pratt (from "Parks & Rec") as Starlord, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, and Michael Rooker ("The Walking Dead") as Yondu.
There had been hopes for Patton Oswalt voicing Rocket, though the push from Avengers: EMH fans for that dude who voiced him on the show and/or a contemporary, British actor might win-out.
We'll see.
What do you guys think?
CONCEPT IMAGES:
Oh, and now it looks like Tennant will be playing Rocket Raccoon.
So we're looking at:
Cruella DeVille
Doctor 10
Amy Pond
Merle Dixxon
Bautista
and Andy Dwyer.
This movie's gonna be shweet.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy the Movie
This just keeps getting more interesting...
Now apparently Benicio del Toro has been cast.
It's still not clear who he will portray, but a good amount of money (at least on my part) is towards Thanos.
I'm so psyched, here's some more reactionary gifs to portray my excitement:

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy the Movie
Check out a first look at the trailer that got leaked earlier today: http://vk.com/video-28416224_165782862?hd=1
I have to say, this starts to look like it's going to be a lot of totally over-the-top fun.

Star, to add to your awesome find:
LA Times confirms VIN DIESEL as GROOT!

LA Times confirms VIN DIESEL as GROOT!
Now all we need is ROCKET RACCOON!HC: Chris Pratt just tweeted that they’re already halfway through with production on the movie. When would you film this?
VD: That’s the thing — I’m so busy. The audience wanted Vin and Marvel, Vin and Marvel. But I’m too busy to do a six-month role. So what Marvel came up with was really interesting. … I am watching a social wave influence and in some ways guide their thinking.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy the Movie
So here's Michael Rooker as Yondu.
Weird name, weird look, cool character apparently.
This movie is making me smile more and more with each piece of news.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy the Movie
This is a bit of an interesting interview with Chris Pratt (who is Peter Quill/Star-Lord) and his on-screen wife from Parks & Rec Aubrey Plaza. I've always loved Pratt.
Oh and then this awful news was announced.
I'm sorry, there's a lot of ways to make Rocket Raccoon work but I really am not sure Bradley Cooper is one of them.
We'll see though. Helps to know he was a fan before the role was offered.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy the Movie
I am saddened about bradley cooper voicing rocket. I would have preferred someone with a more voice acting career, someone who's voice actually sounds like it would fit the character, and not make the character fit the voice. But we'll see how it works out.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy the Movie
I just can't believe that the cockney raccoon and talking tree got a movie before Wonder Woman.
That's just sad.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy the Movie
I can't believe they never finished the wonder woman tv series pilot.
