Marvel’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Gets a Rewrite; Team Line-Up Clarified
Phase Two of the development of the Marvel Cinematic Universe begins with Iron Man 3, which shot this summer, and continues with Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Solider.
But while the first phase led to the blockbuster team-up movie The Avengers, this second wave heads out into space for something a little more strange. Guardians of the Galaxy, oft-mentioned by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige as a project the company hoped to tackle, will be released in 2014, and the company is moving forward with a rewrite of the existing script.
THR announces that three-time Black List screenwriter Chris McCoy is going to rewrite the ”space adventure movie” for Marvel. The three scripts of McCoy’s that landed on the annual list of popular unproduced screenplays are: Get Back (200); Good Looking (2009); and Good Kids (2011). The trade cites McCoy’s “quirky comedic bent,” which will almost certainly be an asset when trying to adapt the story of a patched-together team of characters that includes a talking raccoon and a sentient tree.
THR also clarifies just which team we’ll see, for those who couldn’t visually ID the characters (above) when concept art was released at Comic Con.
