Guardians: Hooked on a Fillion...

Written by (Editor) on 23rd June 2014

'Guardians of the Galaxy' arrive to save the day at the end of July. For the moment there's the final trailer and news of a familiar cameo...

Groot and Nathan FillionWhile shooting continues on Avengers: The Age of Ultron and Marvel crosses its fingers that there's no more shuffling in either their Ant-Man movie or Netflix shows, the next big-screen Marvel project is Guardians of the Galaxy, hitting screens in August.

We've now got the final, international trailer for the film which reads a little like a more vividly-coloured version of a Firefly/Farscape/Buck Rogers combo. Certainly the previous trailers have had a more subervisive vibe than some of the previous releases from the studio, perhaps because this outing isn't based on characters as previously well-known as Marvel's bigger hitters -  though one suspects it will retain some of the swagger.  This international version downplays that anarchy a little and goes for a more traditional derring-do drama.

More details are appearing about the plot of the film, though there are still lots of questions about specifics.

We do now know that Nathan Fillion, who worked with James Gunn on the likes of Slither and Super DOES have "a small fun cameo in the movie". The director confirmed that appearance in a tweet but absolutely denied that Fillion would be playing 'Nova' another of Marvel's cosmic heroes.
