Marvel Studios is slated to release a film adaptation of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book series on August 1, 2014. This film is being directed by James Gunn, an auteur you’d most likely know as the writer of the excellent horror film Slither or for his work on Suda51′s Lollipop Chainsaw. Unfortunately that’s the sum extent of our knowledge on the film, and as such the best we have to get excited for are exclusive reports on which new actors Marvel Studios might be eyeing for the cast of this upcoming movie.
Two days ago Deadline Hollywood published one such report claiming that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been added to Marvel’s potential pool of stars who might play the role of Peter Quill. Though the Guardians film would undoubtedly be focused on a team of heroes, Quill (aka “Starlord”) is seen as the lead in what Marvel considers “its next major franchise launch.” Gordon-Levitt has most famously been a member of excellent ensemble casts (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises), but in the recent Looper he held his own against Bruce Willis in a dual-lead film giving us great hope that he could certainly carry not just a film, but a potential big budget franchise.
