Marvel Eyeing Jim Carrey And Adam Sandler For Role In ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

Two new names have joined the list of actors that Marvel is eyeing for a role in James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy. According to Latino Review, who is pretty reliable when it comes to Marvel Studios projects, Marvel Studios is looking at some big name comedic actors for a role in their upcoming space epic and are asking about the availability of both Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler. Don’t worry, these two aren’t joining the list of actors up for the role of Peter Quill aka Star-Lord. It’s obvious that these two are being looked at for either the role (or roles?) of the gun-toting Rocket Raccoon or his buddy Groot, who will be the comedic relief of the film.

Well, it’s either that or Cosmo the space dog. Also, keep in mind that looking into the availability of an actor definitely isn’t the same as casting the actor. With shooting set to begin in a few months though, expect official casting announcements for the highly-anticipated Marvel Studios film to begin very soon.

Guardians Of The Galaxy is set to hit theaters August 1, 2014.
