'Guardians of the Galaxy' Sequel Casting in Atlanta

The casting company hiring extras for Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy 2” is holding an open casting call next week, according to an industry website.

The open casting call will be held Nov. 7 - 8 from 12 to 6 p.m. each day at the Georgia International Convention Center, ProjectCasting says. Individual extras only need to spend about an hour at the casting call. Photos will be taken during the casting call and pay rates will be discussed during the event.

Casting directors are looking for men and women of all types to portray aliens in the upcoming movie, ProjectCasting reports. One set of aliens will be “quirky,” biker-looking types with crooked teeth, missing limbs, strong facial structure, and other unique features. These aliens will be portrayed by men between 18 and 65. Potential extras are asked to wear a plain dark t-shirt or tank top with dark pants.

The other set of aliens will be “beautiful,” and will be portrayed by very attractive men and women (including some bald women) between 18 and 50. Women should be 5’7” to 6’ tall, and men should stand anywhere from 5’11” to 6’5”. Men should wear a dark, plain t-shirt or tank top with dark pants and should be clean shaven, while women should wear light day make-up and a solid dark t-shirt or tank top and dark pants or a form fitting skirt or dress.

Filming for “Guardians of the Galaxy 2” begins in February.
