James Gunn Reveals Early Star-Lord Helmet Design for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
Director James Gunn recently shared a behind-the-scenes photo from Guardians of the Galaxy features a very early design for the helmet that Chris Pratt's Star-Lord would wear. The image came with the following note:
"#fbf Very early version of the Star-Lord mask. I wanted the eyes to be big, as if he was perpetually surprised, not your regular hero. We might have overdone it a bit here. #GotG#flashbackfriday"
This one definitely seems to have a more cartoonish type look than the version that Gunn ended up using. I think both looks have a fun uniqueness to them, but I ultimately like the final design that they used. Gunn explained that he oversees "every facet" of what the characters look like in the film.
I also included a piece of early concept art below that this helmet design comes from.
