Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of 2014. While fans are eagerly awaiting an official trailer, Marvel’s president of production, Kevin Feige, is offering up a lot of new info about the rag-tag team of superheroes. Meanwhile, Robert Downey Jr is rumored to be appearing in the new movie, although he might not be reprising his role in Iron Man 4.
Kevin Feige recently spoke with Collider about the lesser known Guardians of the Galaxy:
“It’s not a secret. Nobody knows it. It was not a successful live action TV show in the ‘70s. It didn’t have a successful cartoon line. It isn’t a part of video games. It is the least known, which is exactly why we’re doing it. Do you know what I’m feeling here? I’m feeling excitement for Batman vs. Superman. I’m excited for that. It’s awesome. But it’s another movie with combined comic book characters. I think they’ll be excited for what we’re doing with Thor. I think they’ll be excited for what we’re doing with Captain America, but there’s a sense that I feel here, which is, ‘we love this. They’re revealing the Winter Soldier! Oh my God, look what Loki’s doing!’ But there’s a sense of, ‘what’s new?’ Some people--not enough people--liked Pacific Rim so much. That was the newest thing in the world.”
However, rumor has it that Iron Man will appear in the new film. Iron Man’s name is mentioned in a list action figures for the new film. Feige also talked about the future of the character:
“I’ve said it before and it wasn’t negotiating tactics. I believe Tony Stark is as strong a character as Batman. We’re about to head into our fifth or sixth Batman--however, you wanna look at it --James Bond, etc. So, there will absolutely be future Tony Starks and future Iron Mans. Who makes those movies, and when those movies are made, who knows? I don’t know. But, the notion with Robert’s contract in The Avengers 2 & 3, is to allow new characters. Part of what we love about The Avengers is the shifting roster. That’s what’s fun about the comic book movies. You shift them up. So, certainly that was a lot of the thought process that went into it.”
