Rumor has it...

Rumor has it that JGL joined the pool of actors auditioned for the role of Peter Quill aka Star-Lord, the main character in Marvel's upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy! Deadline first reported it and they are usually right about these things (unlike Variety that reported Zach Levi among the auditioned which was not true). I'm taking it with more than a grain of salt, still - wouldn't that be SUPER cool?

But if not he, I would like to see Lee Pace in that role. Other than them, Marvel auditioned Joel Edgerton, James Marsden, Garrett Hedlund and others. But I would bounce like a bunny on crack if either JGL or Lee Pace - the lovely, lovely Thranduil! - got the part. The others... eh, I would have to see them in the role first. JGL or Lee would get me excited right away!

Some reporters are already speculating that Marvel's trying to grab JGL to make it impossible for WB/DC to cast him as Batman in JLA. That's actually... very amusing when you think about it.
