From the images and teaser trailer recently released for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, fans have been chomping at the bit for more. What looks like a cross between Star Wars and the Avengers, this could be the coolest of the new comic book movies to come out of the House of Ideas. More details are coming in now...
Via Spinoff:
A lot of people probably scratched their heads when Marvel last summer that Guardians of the Galaxy would be part of its Phase Two plans, joining heavy hitters like Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: Winter Soldier and The Avengers 2.
Guardians will supposedly take place in outer space, expanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the far reaches of the cosmos. But who will they be facing off against? Warning: Potential spoilers!
While we don't know a whole lot about the film, Latino Review reports a pretty big rumor: The Controller will be one of the main villains, working for Thanos (who memorably made his big-screen debut in the post-credits scene of The Avengers).
Once known as Basil Sandhurst, The Controller designed a suit to give him enhanced physical abilities as well as slave discs that allow him to control the wearer while also absorbing their brain energy to make himself stronger. Controller was introduced in 1969′s Iron Man #12, and has been hassling the armored hero ever since. Eventually, Basil got an equipment upgrade thanks to Thanos, who tasked the baddie with enslaving as many people as possible in exchange for control of Earth.
So, Controller not only has a connection to Iron Man, who's been rumored to have some kind of role in Guardians of the Galaxy, but also to Thanos. How will this play out in the James Gunn film, which stars Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Dave Bautista as Drax and possibly Zoe Saldana as Gamora?
