And let’s face it, whether we know it or not, we have all, at some point, wanted to see a tree fight a Lovecraftian nightmare. Space can be a very scary place, and if the Guardians have the misfortune of peering beyond the void, Shuma-Gorath awaits. It would be unforgettable to see some old school cosmic horror pop up in Guardians as well as allowing something created by the great Howard to be part of the Marvel Universe. Howard, the creator of Conan the Barbarian. The coolest part about the cosmic horror Shuma-Gorath is that he was created by none other than Lovecraft contemporary Robert E. More of an entity that would most likely appear in Doctor Strange, but as the Guardians traverse the galaxy, it would be pretty cool to see them encounter something Lovecraftian. Howard, Steve Englehart, and Frank Brunner Shuma-Gorath First appearance: Marvel Premiere #5 (1972) Created by Robert E. He is the closest thing Marvel has to a Flash Gordon or a Buck Rogers, and would be an excellent point of view character as Marvel expands their cosmic library of characters. Starstalker is psychically connected to his ship, he can synch his senses with robotic bird named Ulysses in order to see, he can appear as anyone through his perception bending nano-cloud, become invisible, and can avoid detection by machine. If you are a company and hold the copyright on a swashbuckling space character named Monark Starstalker, by golly, it is your duty to exploit it. Why Monark Starstalker? Well, primarily it’s because the dude’s name is Monark Starstalker. Monark Starstalker First Appearance: Marvel Premiere #32 (1976) Created by Howard Chaykin Hell, Vince McMahon could make Terrax versus Drax the main event at WrestleManiaand I’d buy a ticket. We’re not sure if Fox has the rights to Terrax because of the whole Fantastic Four deal, but if they don’t, Marvel would have a hard time finding a bigger threat to the Marvel cosmos than Terrax the Tamer, a monstrous force that fought the entire FF to a standstill and was instrumental in the formation of the New Warriors. Terrax is one of the most notorious killers in the Marvel cosmos and was even a chosen Herald of Galactus. Well, for the next film why not make it a space badass with an ax? In the first film, the Guardians faced a space badass with a hammer. Terrax First appearance: Fantastic Four #211 (1979) Created by Marv Wolfman and John Byrne Tusk guns, c’mon now, are we going to pretend that isn’t awesome? 49. Wal Rus was a staunch ally, a great pilot, and like any good space walrus, could turn his tusks into firearms. Wal Rus was Rocket’s right hand, um, walrus in the raccoon’s pre-Guardians days. Hey, Disney, didja know you guys have the rights to a space walrus? Well, when the Mouse finds this little tidbit out, don’t be surprised if we see Rocket pal around with Wal Rus in Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

Wal-Russ First Appearance: Incredible Hulk #271 (1982) Created by Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema Here is a look at some choice Marvel cosmic characters and concepts that could potentially join the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy 3. 2 opened big, and now Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is definitely happening.įans already know that classic Marvel cosmic concepts like the Kree and the Nova Corps will appear again, but other great Marvel spacefarers are just waiting in the wings for the Marvel Studios machine to call their names. It was a film that tested the waters to see if characters removed from the perceived a-list of superheroes could make it as a film property.

The Guardians of the Galaxy movie was a high risk, high reward situation for Marvel.
