She won't be ignored

The first pics of Glenn Close (left) as "Nova-Prime" in the upcoming Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy have surfaced...



She's got quite and "up-do" there on her noggin.



Glenn plays the leader of this motley crew of unusual superheroes...



I don't know anything about this part of the Marvel Universe, but they've pulled together a pretty interesting group of actors for various parts:



Chris Pratt (Parks and Recreation and Zero Dark Thirty) as Star-Lord



Zoe Saldana (Star Trek and Avatar) as Gamora



Dave Batista (WWE wrestler) as Drax the Destroyer.



Benicio del Toro as The Collector.



Michael Rooker as Yondu.



Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies and The Hobbit) as Ronan the Accuser.



Karen Gillan (Doctor Who) as Nebula.



And, although it's not "officially" confirmed..the word on the street (and "accidentally" earlier on his Facebook page) is that Vin Diesel is about to be announced as the voice for the tree character, Groot.

Let the "wooden acting" quips begin...
