We've only seen the Guardians of the Galaxy in animated form twice now, first on Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and then on Ultimate Spider-Man. Now the Guardians will be appearing on the Disney XD show, Avengers Assemble. The episode is entitled 'Guardians and Space Knights' and will be airing this Sunday, April 6th, at 8am/7c. The plot of the episode involves Galactus! Check out the synopsis:
When Galactus attacks Earth, Iron Man is able to lead him to another planet but discovers that it is populated and under the protection of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Billy West ("Futurama") guest stars as Rocket Raccoon; Michael Clarke Duncan ("The Green Mile") guest stars as Groot; and John DiMaggio ("Futurama") guest stars as Galactus.It's no coincidence that this episode will be coming out a couple days after Captain America: The Winter Soldier is released in the USA. This is a smart move by Marvel, who undoubtedly wants to connect the Guardians of the Galaxy to The Avengers. Kids who watch this animated series will be likely talking about the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy film nonstop after seeing this episode.
