Fan Casting Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Peter Quill, a rogue scavenger, steals a mysterious orb on a distant planet, unaware it contains the Power Stone, one of the most dangerous objects in the universe. After escaping mercenaries and bounty hunters, he is pursued by Gamora, an assassin working for Thanos, and Rocket and Groot, a pair of bounty-hunting misfits. When all four are captured and imprisoned, they meet Drax, a vengeful warrior seeking to kill Ronan the Accuser, who murdered his family. Forced to work together, the group escapes prison and decides to sell the orb to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. They soon discover its true nature: the orb contains the Power Stone, which Ronan intends to use to destroy Xandar, an enemy of his Kree people. Though initially driven by personal motivations, the group starts to bond over shared pain and loss. Together, they form an unlikely team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. In the climactic battle, the Guardians face Ronan, who has gained control of the Power Stone. They work together to defeat him, harnessing the Power Stone’s energy and saving Xandar from destruction. Though they are misfits and outcasts, their shared victory solidifies their bond. Mid Credits: A mysterious spaceship is seen drifting through space, hinting at a larger cosmic presence. Post Credits: In the wreckage of his archive, the Collector sits among his remaining exhibits: a canine cosmonaut and an anthropomorphic duck, contemplating the loss of the Power Stone.
