Guardians of the Galaxy: 10 Behind The Scenes Secrets That Totally Change The Movie

Guardians of the Galaxy is one of Marvel's most beloved films, and that's largely thanks to all the work that was done behind the scenes! Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/ho3Hg6 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy movie was one of the most pleasant cinematic surprises in recent memory. The idea of a space-based band of heroic Marvel misfits - including a walking tree and a talking raccoon - being so popular with a commercial movie audience was unprecedented, but the movie grossed $773 million worldwide and was universally praised by both movie fans and critics alike. Like any Marvel movie worth its salt these days, a heck of a lot of work went into it - and in this video we'll take a look at some of the things that went on behind the scenes and away from the movie we actually saw. Those things are; that Vin Diesel had to say "I am Groot" more than 1000 times, exactly how Groot was made, exactly how Rocket was made, that Dave Bautista's Drax make-up took five hours to apply every single day, exactly what Chris Pratt went through to get in shape for his role as Star-Lord, the fact that Robert Downey Jr. almost cameoed as Iron Man, the fact that there was almost a Darth Vader Easter egg in the form of an action figure, the fact that a plethora of big name actors auditioned for the role of Peter Quill AKA Star-Lord, that Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista spent two-and-a-half months preparing for a fight scene that never happened, and the fact that there were a load of great deleted scenes that nearly all found their way on to the internet.
