Over at Bleeding Cool, Brendan Connolly seems to have found the logline for Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy:
About a U.S. pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone wants.
So, that’s a merging of the original run’s Vance Astro with the second incarnation of the team from Annihilation, right…? Is it too early to assume that the “universal conflict” will be Thanos-related? The real question, perhaps, is what exactly the “something everyone wants” is going to turn out to be… Maybe someone’s a fan of mid-90s band 10,000 Maniacs:

Feige already said it’s Star Lord, not Vance Astro.

Using 10,000 Maniacs for a dumb joke and calling them a “mid 90s band” is lazy writing. They were putting out Top 40 albums by the mid ’80s and peaked in ’93 before Natalie Merchant left. Google is your friend.

it’s probably the infinity gauntlet, right? or maybe one of the gems?

This movie plot sounds so “Farscape” to me.
