Guardians Of The Galaxy

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team-the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits-Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand-with the galaxy's fate in the balance. 

James Gunn
First coming aboard the project back in August of 2012, James Gunn is the big brain behind everything you see in Guardians of the Galaxy, serving as both the screenwriter and the director. The film is easily the biggest directorial effort of his career, as he is best known for his work with the low-budget moviemakers of Troma Entertainment and for making titles like Super, starring Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page. It’s also worth noting that he has been friends with The Avengers director Joss Whedon for years, and that the character Gunn on the series Angel was actually named after him.
