Terry Crews is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he isn’t appearing in a Marvel Studios movie. Instead, Disney Parks announced that the Brooklyn 99 actor will appear in the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride, which opens next month at EPCOT at Walt Disney World resort. You can take a first look at Crews, who will play Centurion Tal Marik, a close advisor to Nova Prime (played by Glenn Close, who is reprising her role from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie) below. We’ll note that Marik is a character unique to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and isn’t an established Marvel character.

Alas I cannot as Marvel no longer holds the rights to Rom – just to some other Spaceknights and parts of the story created in the comics – otherwise, believe you me, ol’ toaster head would probably be in the Guardians by now. https://t.co/UPw9US7rmf
