New role for Michael? Happy Birthday ctbn60!

[tasabian]

Michael tweeted yesterday that he has auditioned for the role of Peter Quill in "Guardians of the Galaxy." This would be huge for him & tweeting about it indicates how much he wants it; instantly, the 'net was abuzz with a lot of approving responses. It's the kind of role he could knock out of the park so my fingers are crossed hard for him

wow...what an amazing pic of Michael. It's hard to look away from it.

Isn't he pretty? Now, why he's posing in someone's garage is another question...except for the hair, it could almost be a Lex photo. "Why yes, Clark, I have been living in your garage."

I saw Michael tweet about that, but I'll admit I had no idea what he was talking about. If we get to see him back at work and on the big screen again, I'm all for it!!! :D

GUUUHHH!!!! HOLY...!!! That is one very seriously sexy pic of Michael! I could stare at it for a VERY long time!

*smooshes the boys together* It's "Someday". ;)

It would be a huge project for him - under same Marvel umbrella as the Avengers franchise. *crosses fingers*

Gorgeous creature! He is welcome to lurk in my garage any time!

Damn, that man just gets sexier with age. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the role. Love the caps too, btw.

Thank you!

Damn, that man just gets sexier with age.
He really does, the minx!

Omg that photo of mikey is so amazing. And thank you for the update it's exciting that's for sure. I love your updates. And a big thank you for the birthday wishes and clex. It's he perfect way to start the day.

Hope it's been a great day!

*wonders if he's crazy to have fallen so hard for Clark*

Never!! It's sane and it's right and it's destiny!

Absolutely. I would think because of his connection to James Gunn he would play it close to his vest since he doesn't want to make his friend have to turn him down. I wonder how much rein the studio is giving Gunn.

And that's a hot picture of Mikey! Looking real good.

I wondered if JG might have given him the go ahead to tweet about it, in order to show the studio a positive fan response (which he got.) But someone also theorized that MR might have tweeted as a favour to JG & the studio: if there's a buzz around candidates beyond JGL, then JGL might settle for a lower price. And MR might be rewarded with a role. (Probably too convoluted.)

It's likely a long shot but I so hope he gets it. JGL's amazing but he's already Batman for heck's sake. And Mikey is better than ZL or John K.

Way too convoluted. And I think JGL is just a rumor. Because of TDKR people think he wants to continue the superhero realm but really it was the opportunity to continue working with Christopher Nolan, not being part of the superhero mythos. I really don't think it's something he's really interested in.

And even if an actor did reduce their quote, they'll usually do a deal to make it up on the backend and that could end up costing the studio more in the long run if the film is profitable.
