Guardians of the Galaxy came out of the marketing gate strong with a successful trailer launch. In less than 3 minutes, people who had never heard of the team got to meet each individual member. The world also caught a glimpse of the massive space adventure in store for us all on August 1st. The fact that were getting a Guardians of the Galaxy movie at all is astounding. Still, one of the beauties of space franchises is their ability to fill the screen with fascinating characters, some of which we learn more about in sequels. For others, we use our imaginations to wonder what their stories must be based only on a brief visual. With that in mind, there are so many cameos we can hope and be on the lookout for in Guardians of the Galaxy without being greedy. The comic books have supplied director James Gunn and his team with no shortage of characters to choose from as background or much more. Some of these characters are major players on the cosmic side of the 616 universe and could be setup for larger roles in the MCU.
Honorable Mention: Iron Man
Okay, so we're starting off a little bit greedy. Robert Downey, Jr. is a tad bit expensive for Guardians of the Galaxy, but maybe he'd give Marvel the hometown discount on a cameo appearance. After all, Iron Man has been teaming with the Guardians in Brian Michael Bendis' monthly series and Iron Man was included in some early concept art for the film, so dare to dream a little. Now, on with the list!
