Bradley Cooper is Rocket Raccoon

It's official: Cooper is going cosmic.

The rumor is true! The Silver Linings Playbook star is diving into Marvel Studios' expanding universe as the voice of Rocket Raccoon. Marvel made the announcement today and this means Cooper is heading into space with Chris Pratt as Peter Quill, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax and probably Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot. It was previously confirmed the team's first film will have Ronan the Accuser as the foe, too.

No Caption Provided

Viners, do you think Cooper's a good fit for the trigger happy character's voice? Can you picture Cooper screaming, "Blam! Murdered you" as an adorable alien? Guardians of the Galaxy is directed by James Gunn and is scheduled to invade theaters August 1, 2014.

The only casting I'm doubting right now in Guardians is Bautista. I've only seen him say 5 words in previews for Riddick and it already doesn't look good IMO.

Yeah have some doubts too, although his physical appearance helps a lot. I hope he will be ok.

Do you think that tom hardy could play doctor doom. I think he would be at least passable if they went the whole bane voice route.

Its funny that BY FAR the best known actor in the film is going to play a talking Raccoon. I honestly will not be very surprised if this movie is a flop. I would feel bad for the fans but this has the makings of a flop all over it. Heavy use of CG, pretty much no A list actors, relatively unknown source material and whats sure to be a pretty large budget. This is starting to sound exactly like John Carter.

Man just look at the cast...

Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Glenn Close, John C. Reilly, Benicio del Toro...

You left out Karen Gillan, Michael Rooker, Djimon Hounsou, and Lee Pace.

The only problem here is Cooper isn't suited for voice work. It's not that he has a bad voice but his best foot forward is always his face.

You know I just had a thought....don't you think RR would have some serious muscle under his fur from lugging around weapons that are x2, x3 times his size?

I think a lot of people could be at least passable if they went with the Bane voice route but yes his voice on TDK Rises can be a solid Doom voice.

@soloz: Yeah so? Just because they are Oscar winning actors doesn't mean they're household names. I would say that Bradley Cooper is much more well known than Benicio Del Toro who's last big flick was that awful Wolfman movie. Glenn Close is the closest to Coopers fame but she will likely only have a bit part anyway.

Braders is a good looking guy. No doubt, but he got nothing on Hugh Jackman. That guy is a hunk, and a triple threat. Wolvie wins again!
