Joss Whedon talks initial doubts about 'Guardians' film

Collider recently spoke to The Avengers 2 director Joss Whedon at The Saturn Awards, and asked him about the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy film. He had this to say...

"You know, it seemed out there to me too. I think it came from Kevin [Feige], and I sort of went, 'I don't know about this.' And then they brought on James [Gunn] and as soon as they said, 'James', the movie started to make sense to me in a way it hadn't. This isn't a guy who's going to chase Star Wars. He's gonna' make a James Gunn movie. And James' first thing was 'I love Rocket, it's all the Raccoon.' And a lot of people were like, 'Really? A Raccoon?' and he's like, 'Nah, the Raccoon is the heart.' Knowing that, I felt really safe, and casting Christ Pratt...I was just there before they started production and seeing all the design and stuff, I got really jealous. I was like, 'Why can't I make this movie?' I really got turned 180 on that one."

Sounds like Whedon was really impressed with the look of the film. Does this get you psyched or what? Drop a comment below and let us know!
