In the last couple of days we’ve had Guardians Of The Galaxy character posters for Rocket Raccoon and Groot, and Zoe Saldana’s Gamora. Now the set is complete the release of promo pics for Chris Pratt’s Star Lord and Dave Bautista’s Drax.
We’ve also been sent character descriptions for most of the non-human characters, which you can read below, accompanied by the UK versions of the posters.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.

Gamora (Zoe Saldana) Gamora is an orphan from an alien world who was raised by the mysterious Thanos to become the perfect weapon. As Thanos’ personal assassin, Gamora has earned a reputation as a formidable warrior. Gamora now seeks redemption for her past crimes.
Drax (Dave Bautista) A physical brute, Drax has a personal vendetta against Ronan, who killed his family. Now fueled by pure rage, Drax will stop at nothing to take his revenge on the most dangerous being in the galaxy.
Groot (Vin Diesel) Groot descends from a race of walking flora and resembles a sentient tree. Despite his strange appearance and limited communication skills, Groot proves to be a valuable ally and a loyal friend—not only to his fellow bounty hunter Rocket but to the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy as well.
Rocket (Bradley Cooper) Rocket is a bounty hunter and mercenary whose mastery of weapons and battle tactics make him a formidable warrior, despite being a genetically altered, cybernetically enhanced, talking raccoon. The result of traumatic biological experimentation, Rocket is a genuine gun-toting badass and mechanical genius who has a huge chip on his shoulder.

A live action Paddington Bear movie has always seemed like a risky proposition, and even after March’s Teaser Trailer the jury has been out over whether the live-action and CGI mix would work. Now a couple of new pics have arrived, which so look quite fun.
2004’s The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie was one of the most bizarre but funny animated movies in a long time. It’s taken a while but now he’s heading back to the big-screen for a 3D CGI adventure – The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water.
Ever since James Cameron started talking about the sequels for Avatar, people have been wondering whether Sigourney Weaver would return. Due to the end of the first film, the initial presumption was that she wouldn’t, but then both Cameron and Weaver started suggesting she might be back after all.
The Coen Brothers are following their pattern of making a small idiosyncratic movie with a more mainstream effort, as after Inside Llewyn Davis they’re putting together Hail Caesar. It already has George Clooney attached and now 
From the moment it was announced it was clear Guardians Of The Galaxy wouldn’t be quite like the other movies Marvel has made, not least because two of the main characters are a walking tree and a talking raccoon.
