Marvel Studios' "Guardians of the Galaxy" has a large cast -- evidenced by the influx of character posters. While the heroes and secondary characters have gotten their due this week -- most recently, Michael Rooker as Yondu, John C. Reilly as Corpsman Rhomann Dey and Glenn Close as Nova Prime. Now, it's time for the villains to step up. IGN has revealed three character posters featuring Lee Pace as Ronan, Karen Gillan as Nebula and Djimon Hounsou as Korath.

Opening August 1 and directed by James Gunn, "Guardians of the Galaxy" also stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Benicio Del Toro and more.
