Although James Gunn is still in the process of casting the remaining roles in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, we are getting more and more clues as to production notes for the film. When we last touched on this subject, we learned that one of its characters, Rocket Raccoon, would be presented by a culmination of animation styles. And since this is a movie about the Guardians of the Galaxy, one would assume that the film would take place in the confines of space.

Well in an interview with SFX magazine, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirms that notion.

What’s interesting is that Feige goes on to expand on the idea of a superhero and how he wants to audience to perceive them in Phase 2.

Another interesting aspect is that Feige addresses questions about the amount of characters we will see in The Avengers 2. In the quote below he confirms that Guardians will be more of a standalone film that takes place in the same universe, which probably gives Joss Whedon’s The Avengers 2 script more room to breathe in terms of character screen time.

Guardians of the Galaxy stars Chris Pratt, with the remaining roles in the process of being fulfilled. The film will hit theaters on August 1, 2014.

So what do you think? Do you agree that Guardians of the Galaxy should be a standalone film? Which member of the Avengers would you like to see meet up with the Guardians of the Galaxy?
