James Gunn Showcases Early Star-Lord Design For GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
Check out an early concept of what Chris Pratt's Star-Lord almost looked like in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy. Apparently Gunn thought the concept looked a bit like Iron Man's helmet. Like ol' shell-head, do you think Star-Lord will get a new mask in the GotG sequel?

After reviewing concept art and this clay model, James Gunn's direction to the props department was to make Star-Lord's mask, "Less like Iron Man to the casual viewer. More unique." He further explained [via his facebook page], "Very early version of the Star-Lord mask. I wanted the eyes to be big, as if he was perpetually surprised, not your regular hero. We might have overdone it a bit here." The concept mask is very reminiscent of something Isaac Clarke dons in the Dead Space games. Marvel made the right call by going with a mask that a bit more closer to his comic book roots. Do you think Star-Lord will have a new mask design in the sequel, similar to how Iron Man dons a new armor every film or Cap wears a new costume?
Gunn is currently hard at work, preparing to shoot Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 2. for its May 5, 2017 release date. Filming is scheduled to start in February and will primarily take place in Atlanta, GA and London, England.
