Marvel Begins Announcing The GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Animated Series Cast
We were expecting something relating to the upcoming Disney XD Guardians Of The Galaxy animated series this week, and now Marvel has revealed the first cast member. Vin Diesel won't be returning to provide the voice of Groot, but click on to find out who will be uttering those 3 immortal words...
On Marvel's upcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy animated series, the man who'll say "I am Groot" so often he may actually begin to believe he's a giant sentient tree-alien is Kevin Michael Richardson, who is definitely no stranger to voicing animated incarnations of well known comic book characters. Richardson has played the likes of Bishop in Wolverine and the X-Men, Nick Fury in Super Hero Squad, and the Joker in 2004's The Batman. Interestingly enough, he also voiced Groot once before on Hulk And The Agents Of S.M.A.S.H. Apparently we'll find out who'll be playing Star Lord, Drax, Gamora and Rocket as the week goes on. Marvel will produce the series, with Alan Fine, Dan Buckley, Joe Quesada and Jeph Loeb on board as as executive producers.
Marvel's animated series have been hit and miss (okay, more miss!) in the past so hopefully this lives up to its potential. You guys looking forward to it?
