Sandler?? Really???? If that happens my interest level goes to minus 47. Just imaging baby talk Sandler coming out of Groot?

^^^ Yeah, while I understand the vocal range that might interest Marvel Studios with Jim Carrey, I fear that adding other comedic names like Adam Sandler will send the wrong message as far as treatment goes. The general public does not know anything about this license. And I doubt there will be enough comic fans to invest in this if it starts looking too offbeat. They need to keep the levity light and sell the premise with a little more seriousness. Nothing campy of course, but at least act like their presence is relevant to the Marvel universe. You start bringing in tale-tale signs of camp, the whole thing can unravel.

adding Adam Sandler to anything sends a wrong message.

Updates!!

The Avengers director Joss Whedon, who signed a deal to creatively consult on all of the films leading into The Avengers sequel, including Guardians of the Galaxy, was enthusiastic about the selection of Gunn to direct, saying "James [Gunn] is what makes me think it will work... He is so off the wall, and so crazy, but so smart, such a craftsman and he builds from his heart. He loves the raccoon. Needs the raccoon... He has a very twisted take on it, but it all comes from a real love for the material. It's going to be hard for [the human characters] to keep up."

Victoria Alonso, an executive producer on the film, said that filming would begin in June. She also said that both Rocket Raccoon and Groot would be created through a combination of CGI and motion capture, going on to say that "You can’t do any motion capture with a raccoon – they won’t let you put the suit on [laughs]. But we will do rotomation, probably, for some of the behavior... we definitely will have performers to emulate what James Gunn will lead to be, the behavior and the performance. He’s very clear on where he wants to take the characters."

In an interview published in a March 2013 issue of SFX, Kevin Feige discussed Guardians of the Galaxy in relation to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "It’s much more of a standalone film," said Feige. "It takes place in the same universe. And when we’ve been on the other side of that universe in other movies, you might see those characteristics in Guardians, but the Avengers are not involved with what’s happening out there at this time." Feige also stated that 95% of the film would take place in space.

A week later it was reported that sculptor Brian Muir, who sculpted Darth Vader's mask for the Star Wars films, was working on the film.

In April 2013, Zoe Saldana entered into negotiations to star as Gamora in the film.

It would be a HUGE geek moment to both MIB41 and myself to see any incarnation of NOVA on the big screen. He and I actually met (about a billion years ago ) whilst perusing a copy of The Man Called NOVA, issue #7, I believe. We've been buds ever since...

[Bruce Banner]

Amy Pond in GOTG!
Yes, Karen Gillan has been cast, too... apparently playing "the film’s lead female villain".
