Casting news has been dropping fast regarding the newest franchise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Deadline reports that Benicio Del Toro has been signed on for multiple films, the first that I’ve really heard of this being specifically mentioned with GOTG which means it’s likely a deal for other non-GOTG films.
Could Del Toro be playing the villain? One who, like Loki, will be brought over into Avengers 2 as the big bad? Del Toro would definitely make the kind of villain that would cause the Avengers to step up their game. But we already have three villains in Lee Pace, Michael Rooker and Karen Gillan… though, minions do often come in threes…
I suppose Del Toro could be playing a good guy but we already have our Star-Lord and most of the Guardian gang which would leave Del Toro a voice-role only. I dunno, just can’t see him as Rocket Raccoon myself.
In any case, this movie is racking in some serious talent with all signs pointing to awesome.
