Yesterday, Enzo Cilenti (an actor whose name we don’t expect you to recognize) tweeted that he was cast in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy. The tweet was later deleted, but here’s what it said.
I may or may not be in #Guardiansofthegalaxy. I am sworn to secrecy so can’t say. In entirely unrelated news, “I am”. — Enzo Cilenti (@EnzoCilenti) May 8, 2013
The English actor has actually been in quite a few things, including a mystery role in Kick-Ass 2, but the only thing I recognize him from is the underrated In The Loop. Oh, and we know him because he’s married to Sienna Guillory, who plays Jill Valentine in the Resident Evil series. Lucky bastard.
Cilenti joins a cast which includes Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Michael Rooker as Yondu, the WWE’s Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Ophelia Lovibond as (maybe) an aide to The Collector, and Lee Pace as an unnamed villain.
We don’t know yet if he’ll be playing one of the not-yet-cast Guardians Of The Galaxy which are confirmed to be in the movie: Groot and Rocket Raccoon. That said, we’ll use any flimsy excuse to post raccoon GIFs…
