As Thanos or Maybe Rocket Raccoon

If you saw The Avengers – and odds are that you did, since that was one huge blockbuster – then you know that at the end of the film Thanos was teased as a forthcoming Marvelverse super-bad.

Well, it seems Benicio Del Toro could be playing the Death-obsessed intergalactic villain, for he has signed on to appear in several upcoming Marvel productions.

Chief among them is the Chris Pratt-led Guardians of the Galaxy co-starring Zoë Saldana, Lee Pace, and Glenn Close, which, btw, also offers the distinct possibility that the Oscar winner could possibly play a good guy, after all: the part of Rocket Racoon has yet to be cast, too.

So stay tuned for clarity on this one as more people join the project.
