The Walking Dead and Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer star Michael Rooker has been cast in James Gunn’s Marvel Phase 3 movie Guardians Of The Galaxy as Yondu Udonta, the first character cast from outside of the core 2008 reboot team.
Introduced in a 1969 issue of Marvel Super-Heroes by Arnold Drake and Gene Colan, Yondu is an alien tribesman and expert hunter, and another sign that superhero archers are a big thing.
Rooker has worked with James Gunn on both Slither and Super, and was brilliant in both, frankly.
Guardians Of The Galaxy is due in cinemas 1 August 2014. Pick up James Gunn’s Super on DVD for £4.49 or Blu-ray for £6.99 from Amazon.co.uk.
