Guardians of the Galaxy took the Marvel Cinematic Universe by storm, introducing a ragtag team of cosmic heroes we instantly fell in love with. But who are the faces behind these iconic characters?

Leading the charge is Chris Pratt as the charismatic (and slightly clueless) Star-Lord, also known as Peter Quill. He's joined by Zoe Saldana as the deadly Gamora, daughter of Thanos and a force to be reckoned with. Dave Bautista brings the brute strength and surprisingly literal humor as Drax the Destroyer, seeking vengeance for his family. The lovable duo of Rocket, voiced by Bradley Cooper, a genetically engineered raccoon with a penchant for weaponry, and Groot, voiced by Vin Diesel, a tree-like creature with a limited vocabulary but an enormous heart, complete the core team.

But the Guardians' universe extends beyond this core group! Keep an eye out for returning favorites and exciting new additions as the franchise continues to expand. These actors bring a unique blend of humor, heart, and action to the MCU, making the Guardians of the Galaxy a truly unforgettable cinematic experience.
