Actress Glenn Close is joining The Guardians of the Galaxy.
Close will play the head of a space police force known as the Nova Corps.
Chris Pratt is headlining the ensemble as half-alien, half-human Star-Lord.
Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista are playing a green-skinned alien assassin and a cosmic energy-blasting superhuman named Drax the Destroyer.
Michael Rooker is playing an alien named Yondu while Lee Pace is the movie’s villain.
Also sitting on an offer to play an newbie agent that acts as a liaison between all the characters is John C. Reilly.
I love that Glenn Close is now attached to this project. It almost gives it a sense of even greater credibility now, not that it was ever lacking any credibility in the first place. It’s just nice to have another big named actor/actress signed on to do a Marvel movie!
