    Benicio del Toro Bringing Oddball Charm to Guardians of the Galaxy

    DateMon, June 3, 2013

    Benicio del Toro was supposed to play Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness. Until they balked at his asking price and went for the cheaper, and unknown, Benedict Cumberbatch. Hindsight being what it is, Paramount wishes they gave into his demands.

    No sweat for the Oscar-winner as he's going orbital elsewhere. He has joined the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy. Marvel is keeping their lips sealed on his identity. He's signed a multi-picture contract. Not exactly saying much, everyone signs their life away especially to join ranks at Marvel. But the plan for him to play a big role in future films. Knee-jerk speculation says Thanos. Not sure if that's it, but a good suggestion nevertheless.

    For such a weird property (and their only project slated for next summer), Marvel is making up for that by getting as many name-actors as possible.
