Jim Carey & Adam Sandler for Marvel’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY?0

Written by Cheng Hui Jie

Calling all super­hero fans! Marvel is up to give us more butt-kicking action in their upcom­ing fic­tional comic-adaptation flick that is sched­uled for release in August next year – Guardians Of The Galaxy.

Although no cast­ing deci­sions for the alien-themed galaxy-saving flick have been made yet, spec­u­la­tions on short­listed actors have been cre­at­ing quite a buzz online lately, espe­cially when Marvel is deter­mined to make the film a wild one. Just how wild are they aim­ing for? 

According to Latino Review, Marvel revealed that they are look­ing into cast­ing A-list come­di­ans Jim Carey (Batman Forever, 1995) and Adam Sandler (50 First Dates, 2004) for “comic-relief”! 

Will both Jim Carey and Adam Sandler lend their wacky voices to the more comedic non-human guardians? Who will take up the role of the itsy bitsy but loud Rocket Raccoon? Only time will tell.

The charm­ing Joseph-Gordon Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises, 2012) have also been said to have “passed” the role of Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord), the half-human half-alien leader of the guardians. Actors Jim Sturgess, Zachary Levi and Lee Pace were among the list as well. 

Directed by James Gunn, film­ing of the Guardians Of The Galaxy in 3D will com­mence mid-2013 at the Shepperton Studios in UK. Nice guess but no, it will not be filmed at the galaxy.

Guardians Of The Galaxy will hit the­aters on August 1, 2014.
