View fullsize

Walking Dead star Michael Rooker is playing the character Yondu in James Gunn's Marvel film, Guardians of the Galaxy. The actor recently did a question and answer session on Twitter and while he was doing it he talked a little bit about the comic book film he was working on and the character he plays.

Here's a few points of interest that he discussed: 

• When asked what movie he would like to do after Guardians of the Galaxy, Rooker answered, "Another Guardians. Duh." 
• Rooker said that it takes "about an hour and a half and two more days to make sure" his blue body paint (for the role of Yondu) is all off. 
• While talking about joining the Marvel universe, Rooker jokingly said, I'm in a Marvel movie and its paying my mortgage right now. Love Marvel. Sh*t Yes!!!!!!" 
• Rooker first heard about Guardians of the Galaxy from director James Gunn. 
• When confusingly asked if he had spent any time with Yondu before playing the character, Rooker joked, "Yeah I visited Yondu. We had a couple pints in London". 
• When asked if he had to learn a new skill for Guardians of the Galaxy, Rooker joked, "No, I showed them a few." 
• Apparently, Rooker is still filming scenes for Guardians of the Galaxy. 

Rooker looks pretty awesome in the role, and I'm sure he's going to be a freakin' badass in the movie! I'm excited to see exactly what he ends up bringing to this character.
