Rocket Raccoon has finally found his voice! Academy Award-nominated actor Bradley Cooper has officially joined the cast of Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” lending his voice to the fan-favorite raccoon that will join Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Drax (Dave Bautista) on their epic adventure. The film comes to theaters on May 1, 2015. James Spader will face off against Earth’s Mightiest Heroes as the villain in Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the sequel to 2012’s record-breaking “Marvel’s The Avengers.” The Emmy Award-winning actor will play Ultron in the Avengers’ much anticipated return to the big screen from writer/director Joss Whedon. That said, let’s see what Marvel had to say about the two casting choices: I will say however that the film version of Rocket is extremely raccoon-like, and if the concept art above is any indication, audiences are in for a treat. I dunno maybe it’s because he’s just one of those everyone loves em just because “fan-favorite” kinda characters ( cough Wolverine cough). I must admit, I’m not a huge fan of Rocket in the comics because he is just a little too human-like and reminds me of a furry Danny DeVito (my first choice for the character, but as a live action role rather than voice over of course). Again, and interesting and well thought out choice for the character. Cooper is also a very interesting choice to voice the Raccoon with an attitude and I can honestly say I can hear the little guy now in Cooper’s familiar tone.
Ultron is sure to be the next big thing in the Marvel cinematic universe seeing how he will be beating the crap out of the AVENGERS a few summers from now and Spader’s distinct (iconic!?) voice just makes sense. Well done Marvel casting agents, well done. Second is the feisty, machine gun-toting raccoon, Rocket Raccoon who will be voiced by Bradley Cooper (THE HANGOVER Series) in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.īoth of these choices are pretty intriguing and I must admit I am quite happy with both decisions. First up is the lead robot villain in the upcoming AVENGERS sequel named Ultron (for those that don’t read comics) who will be voiced by none other than James Spader (STARGATE and TV’s THE OFFICE). Marvel Studios has officially announced not one but TWO voice actors who will be lending their beautiful vocals for the upcoming feature films THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.
