Los Angeles: “Guardians of the Galaxy” is heading to small screen next year as an animated series on Disney XD.
First footage and concept art for the new animation series were released at New York Comic Con recently, reported Ace Showbiz.
The series will follow the intergalactic heroes, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Gamora and Drax the Destroyer, as they battle evil forces to keep the universe safe.
“This is a very exciting time for the Marvel Animation Studio as we get to explore the cosmic side of the Marvel Universe by developing the first-ever Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy animated series,” Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel Television, said in a statement.
“After starring in the biggest movie of 2014, everyone wants more of Star-Lord and his crew – now they’ll get it,” Loeb added.
The poster featured all five superheroes in their animated version but the test footage that was debuted during the NYCC panel only presented Rocket Raccoon in action and a brief appearance of Star-Lord.
