This was rumored earlier in the week, but it's been made official that Bradley Cooper (
Silver Linings Playbook) will voice Rocket Raccoon in
Guardians of the Galaxy. Marvel made the announcement today. Now to wait and see if Vin Diesel is actually voicing Groot and we'll be all set.
"Rocket Raccoon has finally found his voice!
Academy Award-nominated actor Bradley Cooper has officially joined
the cast of Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” lending his voice to the
fan-favorite raccoon that will join Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Gamora
(Zoe Saldana) and Drax (Dave Bautista) on their epic adventure.
Cooper has previously starred in “Silver Linings Playbook,” for which
he was nominated for an Oscar®, “Limitless,” “Place Beyond the Pines”
and the “Hangover” trilogy, the latter of which has grossed $1.4 billion
globally. He will next be seen in “American Hustle” which will reunite
him with “Silver Linings Playbook” director David O. Russell. “Guardians
of the Galaxy” will mark Cooper’s first voiceover work.
In the far reaches of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an unlikely cast
of characters including Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Groot and Rocket
Raccoon must join forces to defeat a cosmic force of epic proportions.
Directed by James Gunn, the live-action “Guardians of the Galaxy” will
take fans to new corners of the Marvel Universe when it hits theaters
August 1, 2014, but in the meantime stay tuned to Marvel.com for the
latest news as it breaks, including official casting, first looks and
more!
In addition to “Guardians of the Galaxy,” Marvel Studios will
release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including “Thor:
The Dark World” on November 8; “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” on
April 4, 2014; “Avengers: Age of Ultron” on May 1, 2015; and “Ant-Man”
on November 6, 2015."
