Guardians of the Galaxy - Upcoming Marvel Movie

[Dr Kain]

They were planning to at one point. If I remember correctly a screenplay was written but the project was shelved because Fox was disappointed by the box office return of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

So they are pretty much going to do with Surfer what Mattel is now going to do to with Voltron.

I just read this interesting news regarding Galactus and Silver Surfer movie rights:

Currently, Fox owns the rights to both the "Fantastic Four" and "Daredevil" circle of characters. However, time is running out for the studio to put a "Daredevil" film reboot into production before the rights revert back to Marvel -- and Variety reports a deal may be going down between Fox chairman Tom Rothman and Marvel to extend "Daredevil's" time at Fox beyond the October 10 cutoff. Sources state Marvel would be willing to give Fox more time to get its "Daredevil" reboot off the ground in exchange for the rights to use characters from the "Fantastic Four" cast of characters, including Galactus and the Silver Surfer, who would no doubt play a huge role in future Marvel films considering the current direction of its "Phase Two" slate of movies.

Nothing official but, if this happens, that would be awesome! I want to see Galactus and Silver Surfer in either a Guardians of the Galaxy sequel or an Avengers sequel, or something like Infinity Gauntlet. Marvel Studios would do these characters justice.

Full article here: (Edit note: It seems there was not much true to the story, and the rumor has been updated as false. Too bad, it would have been cool to have these characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) Will Fox Trade Marvel Galactus For Daredevil?

Errr....never heard of them.

So my excitement / expectations shall start pretty low and will either go up or down depending on what else is revealed about this
