Whedon said that he feels Gunn will make the project come together, something he wasn't sure of before.
"James is what makes me think it will work. I myself was sort of like, ‘Well, I liked Rocket Raccoon as a kid, but I'm not sure how that plays [to a wider audience].' He [Gunn] is so off the wall, and so crazy, but so smart, such a craftsman and he builds from heart. He's got a very twisted take on it, but it all comes from a real love for the material. It's going to be hard for the humans to keep up… I know he's going to come from left field and I'm going to go, ‘What?' And then, ‘Of course, why didn't I think of that?' And then I'm going to beat him!"
"Guardians of the Galaxy" is slated for a August 2014 release. Countdown to the release of The Guardians of the Galaxy, with the iPhone Movie Countdown Clock App.
