The villains for Guardians of the Galaxy are revealed!

After much debating from fans everywhere, and some tight lips over at the studio, the roles of the villains for the upcoming Marvel film Guardians of the Galaxy have been revealed! It appears that Benicio del Toro will be playing The Collector, Lee Pace will be playing Ronan The Accuser, and last but certainly not least, Karen Gillan will be Nebula.

Lets take a look at who these particular characters are:

"The Collector is one of the oldest characters in Marvel's universe, given that he dates back billions of years, protecting the universe in the way he sees fit. He can see, to an extent, the future, and it was he that foresaw Thanos, whose role in the Marvel cinematic universe has already been introduced, and is expected to be heavily expanded.

Ronan The Accuser, meanwhile, first popped up in Fantastic Four comics, and he's a member of the Kree, an alien race. He's got a fair number of superhuman powers, and while originally a villain, he has shown a more heroic side, too. For the purposes of the film, we'd imagine you don't want to get on the wrong side of him, though.

Nebula, meanwhile, is a villain and space pirate, who claimed to be the granddaughter of Thanos."

The roles for the actual Guardians have already been announced. Chris Pratt will be Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, Dave Bautista will be playing Drax the Destroyer, Michael Rooker as Yondu, and Zoe Saldana will be Gamora.
