Before Guardians of the Galaxy was released, Star-Lord and company were definitely considered an obscure bunch of characters even by the most hardcore comic book fans. That all changed in 2014, though, and the movie altered the landscape of the Marvel Cinematic Universe forever.

In this batch of concept art from the beloved Marvel Studios movie, we take a look at alternate designs for Yondu, the Ravagers, the costumes the Guardians donned in the final act, and the Nova Corps.

The latter is particularly interesting, especially as we've yet to see Richard Rider in the MCU and many of these costumes could easily be something we see that character wear down the line. As for Yondu, it's honestly hard to imagine Michael Rooker donning some of these bizarre-looking prosthetics!

Some of these helmets remind me of darkhawk

@TheOscarPanther - There it is, thank you! Couldn't put my finger on it. That second to last full figure pick looks a lot like one of the original Cylons.

@TheOscarPanther - I was thinking EXACT same thing. But that would've been a little confusing with Starhawk already involved. That's a lot of hawks to keep track of.

@knocturnalzen10 - Must be a slow news week for Josh so he's just throwing up sh*t to keep the clicks coming in. Hell, it worked because I clicked on it.

It would have been cool to see a more comic-accurate Yondu.

In Endgame they go back in time and goes to Xandar before Thanos gets the first stone and that is the last fight, then they reveal Nova, Sam or Richard.(I hope it's Richard) That's my prediction for the third act of the movie.

What they did to the Nova Corps was my biggest gripe with GotG. Making them goonie space cops basically.

Derp Face-Yondu.

Pretty much every one of those Nova Corp. designs is better than what we got. Love the first Guardians, but it left a lot to be desired in the design department.

Man, I want a Nova movie so bad.

The first time I heard Jon C Reiily telling Quill "There's nothing wrong on having a nickname" I immediatelly thought.

WAIT, IS HE GONNA BE NOVA???

Anyone else think that concept art for characters like Yondu always seems a lot more out there than the one chosen for the film? Don't get me wrong, I love Yondu and how he looked but his look is quite tame compared to these concepts
