GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXYAlthough Marvel had no official announcements for its upcoming film slate at New York Comic Con this year (the publisher did show some exclusive footage during its Marvel Unlimited Plus members panel over the weekend), "Guardians of the Galaxy" actor Lee Pace spoke with Click Online about his character Ronan the Accuser and his experience bringing the character to life.
"He's a fucking psycho!" Pace told Click Online. "He's a real monster. I've had the best time playing this character. I'm glad it's all on film and I never thought I could be so nuts in it!"
The production wrapped shooting over the weekend, so it's likely some kind of official trailer will drop in the coming months.
