After last month's Comic-Con announcement that Guardians of the Guardians will expand the 2nd Phase of Marvel's cinematic universe, recent reports showcase progress leading up to its 2014 release, exactly two years from now. The studio has hired a new scribe to come aboard & rewrite the first draft penned by Nicole Periman.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Christopher McCoy, who has three scripts on a survey of top motion picture screenplays not yet produced, known as The Black List, will pen the Guardians of the Galaxy rewrite.

Despite three of McCoy's screenplays landing on The Black List - Get Back, Good Looking and Good Kids - Disney recently purchased another pitch from him involving a high-concept romantic comedy. Anyhow, THR further suggests that McCoy has been praised for having a "quirky comedic" element in his scripts. What do you think?
