Directed by James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy will be using the team from the 2008 version of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book team. Here's the official synopsis:
An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the
Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where
brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting
bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful
villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the
ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a
quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a
tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the
revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true
power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his
best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the
galaxy’s fate in the balance.
The film stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, and the voices of both Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper. Actors Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, and Benicio del Toro will play parts ranging from the main villains to other supporting roles. Releases in theaters on August 1st, 2014.
