Rosenbaum stands apart from the other actors for a few reasons. At 40, he’s among the oldest of the contenders; with the exception of the 38-year-old Edgerton, the rest we’ve heard about hover around the early 30s. Career-wise, he’s also not as hot as some of his competition. On the other hand, he has the advantage of having worked with Gunn previously. Rosenbaum appeared in two episodes of Gunn’s webseries PG Porn, and voiced a character on the Gunn-scripted video game Lollipop Chainsaw.
Marvel has Guardians of the Galaxy slated for an August 1, 2014 release.
