First Promo For Guardians Of The Galaxy Animated Series
By Steve Lam
Via IGN, we have our first look at Disney XD’s upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy animated series which is inspired by the same incarnation of characters that were created for the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) feature film.
The animated series is a continuation of the film’s plot, but it resides outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is not connected to the film or its upcoming 2017 sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Disney XD’s Guardians of the Galaxy Animated Series – Official Synopsis: The series follows the newly-formed team who finds a strange artifact keyed only to the DNA of Peter Quill. Upon opening it, Quill unleashes a treasure map leading to a powerful weapon known as the Cosmic Seed which is capable of giving birth to the next universe. It’s up to the Guardians to find, protect and ultimately destroy the Cosmic Seed in order to keep it out of the hands of those who would abuse its power, from galactic big boss Thanos, to the conniving brothers the Collector and the Grandmaster, to a resurrected Ronan, to the ultimate trickster, Loki, in order to save the universe.
Disney XD’s Guardians of the Galaxy animated series will debut on September 26, 2015 as part of the Marvel Universe block. It is being produced by Alan Fine, Dan Buckley, Joe Quesada, and Jeph Loeb, starring the voices of Will Friedle as Peter Quill / Star-Lord, Trevor Devall as Rocket, Vanessa Marshall as Gamora, Kevin Michael Richardson as Groot, David Sobolov as Drax the Destoryer, and James Arnold Taylor as Yondu and Cosmo.
