Joseph Gordon-Levitt Latest Candidate For Star-Lord In Marvel’s ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

It appears that the list of actors up for the role of Peter Quill aka Star Lord in Marvel Studios Guardians Of The Galaxy just got a bit more interesting. Before Christmas it was revealed that among the shortlist that was already revealed, both Zachary Levi (Thor: The Dark World) and an unnamed actor were also up for the role.

Well, it appears that Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises, Looper) is the latest candidate for the role in the James Gunn directed space epic.  While it is unclear if Gordon-Levitt has been offered the role, his name is definitely in the mix over at Marvel Studios. After his performances in Looper and The Dark Knight Rises this year, Levitt is definitely a great candidate for the role. With production set to begin in a few months an official announcement regarding who lands the role should be expected soon.

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