‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ TV Show Confirmed, Disney XD To Premiere Animated Series With Weekly Episodes In 2015 While Fans Wait For ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy 2’

"Guardians of the Galaxy" may have already been animated into "Marvel: Disk Wars" in Japan, but the two part episode may have not been enough for fans. In fact, based on how well the film is doing long after it's original theatrical release, one could say that people can't get enough of the off-beat superhero group.

After an insanely successful summer release in theaters, "Guardians of the Galaxy" will be coming to the small screen next year in an all new animated TV show. The show will air on Disney XD and is currently set to premiere sometime in 2015.

"I'm definitely trying to make a huge commercial, fun, awesome movie that moves people. I don't know that's an expectation so much as just something I'm trying to achieve. I think in terms of the expectations from the fans listen, one of the great things about ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy' is there aren't as many expectations on what to expect when you have ‘The Avengers'," said director James Gunn to Screenrant while still filming "Guardians of the Galaxy."

It would appear that all of Gunn's goals were achieved and then some as the film has become both a critically and commercially successful film. It's broken a few records in it's release, becoming one of the most successful Marvel films to date.

Just when it seemed the "Guardians of the Galaxy" excitement would be limited to its remaining international release dates, today it was announced that Starlord and friends would be making their way to TV. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Disney XD announced Friday during New York Comic Con that it has ordered an animated Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy series to launch in 2015 during the network's ‘Marvel Universe' block."

Senior VP of Programming at Disney XD Marc Buhaj also informed fans that the episodes will air weekly, so even though "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" isn't slated for a while, there will be plenty of the sarcastic space protectors for fans to absorb while waiting.
