This Friday sees the release of Marvel’s CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, a film that is getting some pretty decent reviews, including right here at The Hollywood News (5 stars). The next film in Marvel’s Phase Two release plan is GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY in August, and director James Gunn has just released a brand new look at Karen Gillan’s baldy character Nebula in the film. Marvel have provided a pretty decent character description for this character over here, so check it out if you do want to know more about this lesser known character from the universe, and one we haven’t seen too much of in the recently released trailers.
Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, David Bautista, Lee Pace, Benicio Del Toro, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Michael Rooker, Peter Serafinowicz, Glenn Close, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel star in the film, which releases in the US and UK on 1st August 2014.
Here’s the official synopsis.
From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team – the Guardians of the Galaxy. 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 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 Peter 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. Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” is presented by Marvel Studios. The film releases August 1, 2014, and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
