Marvel?s Next Movie Likely to Be Guardians of the Galaxy

Despite the rumours earlier this month about a Black Panther movie coming down the pike, it now looks like Marvel?s next unannounced superhero movie will actually be another team-up of sorts. According to various sources around the web, Marvel is getting ready to unveil a Guardians of the Galaxy movie at the San Diego Comic Con next month and this will likely be the mystery project that they have slated for a May 2014 release. It?s not the first we?ve heard of this possibility; last August Twitch reported that a Guardians of the Galaxy movie was already in active development and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has previously mentioned them in interviews. But can such obscure characters carry on the massive success of the Marvel films?

According to Latino Review, Guardians of the Galaxy is indeed going to be the next Marvel movie. This coincides with reports of Guardians of the Galaxy trademarks and domain names being registered by Marvel recently, and also the fact that the Guardians will be making an appearance in the new Avengers Assemble comic. It also makes sense because it will tie in with the appearance of Thanos during the end credits of The Avengers (he will reportedly be in the movie). Rumour has it that the script was written by Nicole Perlman (Challenger) and they are now currently in search of a director.

The Guardians of the Galaxy are a superteam who hail from a different universe, and also from the future. First introduced in the ?60s, they once fought a race of aliens known as the Badoon, although Marvel is more likely to go with the current line-up that includes Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer, Gamorra, Rocket Racoon, Bug and Nova. Clearly this would be taking the Marvel films in a very sci-fi direction, and based on the failure of Green Lantern, I have to wonder if it?s a smart move. Then again, I know absolutely nothing about the characters and how interesting they may or may not be. Are you looking forward to a Guardians of the Galaxy movie or is this a potentially bad decision by Marvel?
