The production on the movie "Guardians of the Galaxy" has ended. One of its lead stars reveals the extent of his role in the film.

The Marvel feature "Guardians of the Galaxy" was set to play an integral part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe(MCU). Thus, it was important to get A-list stars for the project even if they're just lending their voices. It was also teased by Vin Diesel that the voice talents in the film will go on to play other roles in the ever-expanding MCU.

Vin Diesel explains his role as walking, talking, fighting tree Groot: "My father taught me there are no small roles, only small actors. I only have one line in the movie, but that doesn't mean anything. I'm still going to make it the best possible thing I can."(From Comic book Movie.)

Meanwhile, production on the movie has officially ended, and director James Gunn has released this heartfelt statement on Facebook.

"And that is an Official Wrap on Guardians of the Galaxy. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to all of you involved with this film. Everyone down the line has been one hundred percent supportive of me and the Marvel team at every turn, and although I can be harsh or hurried at times, it has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. I feel profoundly fortunate to have been surrounded by the people on this film - because of your talent, your insight, your passion, your liveliness, and your friendship. From the cast to the producers to the costumers to the A.D.s to the stand-ins to the P.A.s to the extras to the stunties and on and on, this movie is what it is because of all of you. Thank you thank you thank you a thousand times, from the bottom of my heart. I love you all."

Expect trailers to follow after post-production. Guardians of the Galaxy will be released  August 1, 2014.
