Marvel’s latest superhero action flick, The Guardians of The Galaxy, is being called one of the best Marvel movies yet. Don’t just take the internets word for it, Robert Downey Jr also agrees. The Iron Man and Avengers actor recently opened up to the Toronto Sun about the new film:
“Galaxy in some ways is the best Marvel movie ever. And it’s odd for someone with--on occasion--an ego the size of mine to actually say that!”
RDJ went on to talk about blazing the trail for the Guardians of the Galaxy:
“We’re talking about how the Iron Mans and the Thors and the Captain Americas and the Avengers movies have afforded Marvel the opportunity to essentially take what was a third-tier, minor, kind of upstart bit of potential from one of their comic books series and say: ‘Look!’ ..“It’s like you have a great quarterback, and his brother plays for another team, and then you say: ‘Look, this is their second cousin and we think he has a great arm and he should start.’ And then he goes and wins the Superbowl!”
Now that RDJ has given the film his seal of approaval, it might be time for the GOTG to join the big leagues. Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn recently spoke to Yahoo UK about the possibility of the Guardians meeting up with The Avengers in the future (via Mirror UK):
"We talked about all sorts of possibilities [for a crossover] and I kind of know what the basic plan is. That could or could not include a couple of Avengers and a couple of Guardians meeting up, or all of the Avengers and all of the Guardians….But, we do inhabit the same universe and they’re pretty big personalities that are likely to, at some point or another, run into each other."
