James Gunn Up For 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
Marvel may be hard at work individually revisiting all their heroes from 'The Avengers,' but that doesn't mean they are fresh out of surprises. Earlier this summer, they announced that they would be producing a film based on their lesser-known property The Guardians of the Galaxy. Set in the 31st Century, The Guardians are a pack of interstellar beings, including one Earth astronaut, who must join forces to battle the forces of the evil alien Badoon. The speculations have been running rampant ever since this announcement as to how The Guardians might eventually tie into 'The Avengers 2,' if at all, but who would direct the movie? Well it now appears the studio is in talks with James Gunn for the gig. Gunn, an indie filmmaker, has directed the likes of 'Slither' and 'Super' and apparently the studio is pleased with his ability to combine comedy and action. As of right now, no official deal has been made, but the Marvel is talking exclusively with Gunn at this point.
Having next to no knowledge of The Guardians, I can't say definitively whether Gunn is the ideal choice or not. What I can say is that he is an immensely talented filmmaker who is long overdue for an opportunity of this size. It makes one wonder how dark the humor will be permitted to be in 'The Guardians of the Galaxy.' Gunn has already explored superhero territory in 'Super,' but it is a bleak black comedy with a pronounced pessimism about the human race. I don't see that tone making its way to Guardians, but it'll definitely include some comical elements. It's nice to see Marvel looking to more and more interesting sources of talent for their big projects. As a fan of Gunn, I'm not only now far more intrigued by this project, but I'm also eager to see who he will cast in these various out-of-this-world roles. I'm just saying, like Joss Whedon, Gunn has a relationship with Nathan Fillion. Fingers. Crossed. If nothing else, given his work on 'Slither,' I'm anxious to see what monsters from The Guardians' canon will appear in the movie.
What do you guys think? Do you like Gunn for Guardians? Any 'Super' or 'Slither' fans out there?

Nathan would make a great Antman if they want someone with wry humor...Honestly Guardians of the Galaxy should end with Thanos killing all of them except Adam Warlock(to show how badass Thanos is)

Someway, somehow, Nathan Fillion will star in a Marvel movie, be it Guardians of the Galaxy or Antman.

@Mike To introduce Thanos to non-comic readers.

I've read comics for the majority of my life but I have absolutely no knowledge of 'Guardians'. Why they're moving ahead with this instead of a Black Panther or long awaited Ant Man movie is beyond me.

Dude, Nathan Fillion as Star Lord and Rainn Wilson as Rocket Raccoon? Shut up and take my money now, Marvel!

Wow, MARVEL really is knocking it out of the park in terms of casting!
I still would have preferred it if they went with Black Panther or Doctor Strange for their films that aren't sequels, but hey, it could still be a great surprise!

James Gunn seems like an odd choice, but then again so was Sam Raimi when he was announced to direct "Spider-man", and look how great that turned out.
Plus the fact that Gunn has ties with Fillion, maybe we will get to see him cast as Star-Lord or someone else from the Guardians. After all people were petitioning to get Fillion to play Hal Jordan in Green Lantern, so why not try another inter-galatic role?

Best. Choice of director. Ever.
LOVE this. Definitely know it's going to be quality now, hope they can bring in some top-notch actors to play the guardians. Read the recent runs after the LEOG best of 2010 episode, absolutely LOVED every single one of them. Can't wait for this to come out.

Marvel is taking risks, I like that

I started reading the comics after the glowing review on LEOG and fell in love with it. I think this could be one of the biggest surprises of the Summer (if done right)
