New 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Image and Official Synopsis

The gangs all here.

There's been some debate and speculation over how the Guardians of the Galaxy movie will work. Some have seen the footage from Comic-Con. Check out this official image:

No Caption Provided

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchise 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 entire 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.

The movie opens on August 1, 2014.

Does anyone know if we'll be getting tpb reprints on the DnA run, to coincide with the movie? I would seriously love that.

@jonny_anonymous: Brown. Far as I'm concerned it's his REAL hair color. Seriously why must EVERYONE in Marvel be blond?

Rocket is the only one who looks good. I hope they make them look better in the movie.

@jonny_anonymous: Now that said I don't mind him being a redhead in the movie since that's a bit closer to brown, but still.

I really don't understand why both this and Godzilla are completely under wraps as far as images and trailers go.

Gamorra's hair is too red, they should have just left it black.

The problem with Drax is his tats are too big & dark combined with his skin color which makes him look funny

@gotham331: I'm sorry it's not another Batman or Superman movie.

I think they look awesome, but hell what do I know I haven't read much Guardians of the Galaxy, I'm hoping they market the **** outta of the movie though cause I think other people will probably need more convincing.

Not bad. I wish this movie a good luck and hope it'll successful in Box Office! I'd like to see it hit at least over $400+ million worldwide.

I'm quite excited for this even though I know nothing about GotG. I may have to look into a couple of trades.

One of them is a gun-toting raccoon.

I'm not entirely sure there's anything else you need to know.

@thatdudereeg: that still is the same one at the end of the leaked trailer though, unless he means they released it early. But Drax and Gamora looked great in the fighting scenes (Gamora looked like she had black hair, or possibly hopefully a dark, dark green lol)

Starlord and Gamora have red hair? Drax's skin is now red? I knew a lot of comic book aesthetics weren't gonna translate to film (they had a lot of green) but I don't know if I like all the red... Lmao that's probably what got me do stop buying the new Teen Titans.

This.

Rocket Raccoon is honestly something I'm most looking forward to seeing.

I just hope they have a good balance of comedy, action, and drama. Marvel has been overdoing the comedy lately.

Second that, the final battle of Thor 2 and Iron Man 3's overuse of comedy is getting to me as of late. I think they can make movies appealing to kids too without making it overly cartoonish and goofy. It's spoiling the quality of their movies.

What about the Collector and Thanos? It is because of the mid-credits scene in Thor: The Dark World that I am even giving this movie a chance. If the movie is any good then I will definitely be reading Guardians of the Galaxy comics.

@flazam: I bet not, Thor 2 trailer came out a month before Iron man 3, Cap 2 trailer came out a month before Thor 2. Same will happen here. It will come out in March, a month before Cap 2.

Drax feels off since it's Batista. I mean he's even coming back to the WWE on January 20th. I wouldn't be surprised is He wrestles in Wrestlemania.

@samyroc: I cant really say alot on Bradley voicing Rocket mainly because i dont know what voice he is going to use for it. Ive heard him speak with a french, british, and american accent but it really depends on what route they take,but yea that Drax thing has me concerned alot. I see what they were trying to do by making the markings on his body have more meaning and making them look like symbols(kinda what they did with nightcrawler in xmen) but its way too much red.Hopefully it will look better since this picture still is "unfinished"
