‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ update by director James Gunn: the characters and Quill’s mixtape

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is the last chapter before the big Avengers sequel and director James Gunn spoke at Sunday’s AMC Movie Talk to discuss the film, beginning with the unique cast and feel of the film.

Gunn even addressed why “Hooked on a Feeling” was part of the trailer. “There’s a lot of things that people will find out when they see the movie. The song’s in the movie. We know about the Walkman. Quill has a Sony Walkman and that song’s on his mixtape.”

He discusses casting Chris Pratt after not wanting to audition the Parks and Recreation star as well as the challenge of adding Yondu, played by The Walking Dead star Michael Rooker.
