And here’s more evidence for those wishing to suggest that a certain mid-credits cameo from Marvel’s The Avengers is just the first stepping stone towards a future Guardians of The Galaxy movie:
Marvel Comics have just filed eleven new trademark applications for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY covering everything from jewelery to beverages to furniture to cosmetics. The applications cover International Classes 3, 14, 16, 20, 24, 29, 30, 32, 35, 41, 42, and also include computer games, fabrics, foods, paper goods, entertainment and internet services, and even retail store services.
With the characters showing up again, surprisingly, in the movie-centric Avengers Assemble title, it would seem likely that this is something that is on Marvel Studios’ radar for sooner, rather than later (Although, presumably, some point after the next Avengers movie. So, maybe three to five years from now…?). But will the name refer to the current comics incarnation, the original version of the team (pictured, in case you’re wondering who those guys were), or something and someone else altogether? After all, if the Avengers went into space, couldn’t they be called the Guardians of the Galaxy? Subtitles need trademarks too, after all…
