Casting: Bradley Cooper Cast as Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy

Marvel is stepping it up with the casting this week! First James Spader and now the much hyped Rocket Raccoon cast is finally finished. Pretty boy Bradley Cooper has been chosen to take on the very humorous Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy. I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with the choice and he was on my top 6 list (where at on it? that doesn't matter).

Guardians of the Galaxy will hit theaters on August 1, 2014. Less than a year! 

Do you think he could pull it off? Who would you chose?

Chris Pratt Cast as Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians of the Galaxy has their lead star! The role of Peter Quill aka Star-Lord will go to Zero Dark Thirty's Chris Platt *wait who? Ohhh the guy from Parks and Recreational*. Deadline is reporting that Marvel has locked done Pratt to lead the very very left field intergalactic superhero team consisting of Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, Gamora, and Groot. 

Star-Lord is the leader of the Guardians, who is of earth, but finds out that his father is an alien. (Soo is that intergalactic erotica? hmmm). He is later taken in by a intergalactic conflict that will lead to him being the leader. Sounds cool and very outlandish for Marvel, which I think is needed to keep this universe fresh.

Marvel hit Hall H to have a panel on Iron Man 3, but knowing them they have a few surprises up their sleeves. They came out and master of Marvel, kevin Fiege announced four movies in development!
