GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Character Focus

According to a recent report from reputable Marvel source Latino-Review, Marvel and director James Gunn are looking to put a major focus on three characters in the Gaurdians of the Galaxy movie. Those three characters include Star-Lord, Gamora and Drax The Destroyer. The characters will be getting visual and backstory updates and expansions that will help bring them fit better into the Marvel movie universe.

We already knew Star-Lord was going to have a major role, the plot description that was released said the movie follows “a U.S. pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone want."

It also makes sense that Gamora and Drax would have major roles in the story, especially since Thanos is expected to be the main villain. "Gamora was adopted by Thanos and Drax was a man whose consciousness was transferred into the Drax body with the express purpose to kill the Mad Titan at the behest of Kronos." I was kind of hoping Rocket Racoon would have a big role in the story as well. I think that character has the potential to be just as popular in this movie as The Hulk was in The Avengers. 

It's also speculated that the Universal Conflict mentioned in the short summary could be Nova corps because Marvel can't use Skrulls or Kree. It was pointed out by fans that the official concept art for the movie has Nova stars in the background, which is something I completely overlooked.

I'm looking forward to seeing Gunn's twisted take on this comic! Who are your favorite characters in the Guardians of the Galaxy universe? What do you think about the characters that the movie will focus on?
