"John C Reilly has been confirmed for Guardians of the Galaxy. The Chicago actor has been linked with a role in the upcoming Marvel movie project in recent weeks, and his casting has now been confirmed, according to Deadline.   Reilly will portray Rhomann Dey in the film, who is similar to Agent Coulson from the Avengers movies, and will appear in several potential instalments. The character is the human agent who deals directly between the Guardians and Earth, reporting to SHIELD about the group&amp;#039;s movements. At first, Deadline reported that Reilly had signed up to play Kree Empire&amp;#039;s Ronan &amp;#039;The Accuser&amp;#039; Dey, but this was later debunked. Benicio Del Toro, Glenn Close, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Lee Pace, and Michael Rooker have also joined the lineup of the upcoming film. The Avengers director Joss Whedon recently confirmed that characters from Guardians will not cross over into The Avengers 2 and vice versa. Guardians of the Galaxy will be released on August 1, 2014.
