Kevin Feige reveals ‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY’ VILLIAN, as well as when it takes place.

Confused? Not sure how the honey-suckled teats of Guardians of the Galaxy are going to fit into the warm maw of Marvel’s mouth? Kevin Feige got you, friends. He got you.

Now Marvel President Kevin Feige gives us a bit more information on that, revealing exactly when Guardians of the Galaxy takes place as well as who the main bad guy is.

Marvel is a big part of the latest issue of Empire Magazine and that’s where these quotes are from. Thanks to Comic Book Movie for the heads up.

First up, Feige was asked if Guardians takes place at the same time as the other Phase Two films:

The general answer is yes. It’s not exactly revealed what year or month it is in relation to the other Phase Two films. But yes, it’s the same time.

So how connected is it?

Certainly more than the others. We’ve already said that Thanos plays a part in it and is a character in it. That in and of itself should tell you it’s connected to the other worlds.

I’m not sure he actually meant to say “more than the others” here. Since the others take place on Earth, and their characters are in Age of Ultron, it seems like those are probably connected “more.” But who knows how Feige’s mind works. He could have meant  ”not more,” or perhaps he just dropped a huge hint on us. Anyway, he mentioned Thanos, and Empire followed up on that. Is he the main bad guy?

Ronan The Accuser is very much the main bad guy. And Thanos is lurking above it all. You will learn more about Thanos in Guardians, for sure. Certainly you’ll get more than the one turn around and smirk. You’ll get much more than that!

So Lee Pace’s character gets the top spot over Benicio Del Toro’s.
