If you hadn’t already guessed, I love The Guardians of the Galaxy comic book and am looking forward to the movie more than any other. Yes, including the Avengers sequel.

James Gunn Moves to the Front of the Pack

The writers have already written the script to the movie. It’s thought to be awesome. The plot synopsis has been revealed and it sounds like the movie is going to be fantastical. Now they’re talking directors and the name at the front of the pack is Super and Slither director, James Gunn. This movie just gets better and better each and every day!

Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision say “Marvel is said to like Gunn’s sensibility and his ability to mix comedy elements with action and horror, a quality he shares with The Avengers director Joss Whedon…”

Can’t argue there. From his films I’ve seen, I’ve been very impressed with the final results.

Other Directors

Hollywood Reporter also state that the studio is in talks with other directors to take on the role should Gunn pass up the opportuniy, including Peyton Reed (Bring it On/Yes Man), Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden.
