Michael Rosenbaum Joins List Of Actors Up For Star-Lord In Marvel’s ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

Just earlier today it was revealed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was on the list of contenders  for the role of Peter Quill aka Star-Lord in Marvel Studios highly-anticipated Guardians Of The Galaxy. Based on that we assumed that maybe he was the mystery actor who had read for the role before the holidays. Well, it appears we may have been wrong because just a short while ago actor Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville) revealed that he is also in the mix for the role in Marvel’s upcoming space epic.

The fan-favorite actor has actually already previously worked with director James Gunn in the past. There’s definitely a chance that Gunn may be going after someone that he’s more familiar working with for the role. But then there’s plenty of great candidates on this ever-growing list and with production set to begin in a few months an official announcement regarding who lands the role should be expected soon.
