Wastelanders: Old Man Star-Lord
In Wastelanders: Old Man Star-Lord, Quill (Timothy Busfield) and Rocket (Chris Elliot) have returned to Quill’s home planet well after the duo’s glory days have passed. It’s been thirty years since supervillains have conquered the Earth, yet this aged duo is only just now showing up? The silver lining: at least Quill still has his Walkman!

Rocket and Quill are accompanied by “Cora” (voiced by Nadine Malouf), a Rigellian Recorder tasked with recording their mission, which has them hunting for a mysterious relic known as the Black Vortex!
If the “Black Vortex” sounds familiar to you, you may be a fan of the Guardians of the Galaxy animated series on DisneyXD, which featured the arcane object, along with the Collector’s museum, familiar to anyone who has visited Guardians of the Galaxy – MISSION: Breakout!

The cast also includes Patrick Page as Kraven the Hunter, Dillon Baker as Doctor Doom, plus the talents of Vanessa Williams as Emma Frost, Aasif Mandvi, and Danny Glover as Red.
The series will be written by Benjamin Percy, directed by Kimberly Senior, and with a score and sound design by Mark Henry Phillips.
