Clarence LeRoy "Lee" Van Cleef Jr. (January 9, 1925 – December 16, 1989) was an American actor best known for his roles in Spaghetti Westerns such as For A Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Hatchet-faced with piercing eyes, he had declined to have his nose altered to play a sympathetic character in his film debut, High Noon, and was relegated to a non-speaking outlaw as a result. For a decade he was typecast as a minor villain, his sinister features overshadowing his acting skills. After suffering serious injuries in a car crash, Van Cleef began to lose interest in his apparently waning career by the time Sergio Leone gave him a major role in For a Few Dollars More. The film made him a box-office draw, especially in Europe. Despite suffering from heart disease from the late 1970s and having a pacemaker installed in the early 1980s, Van Cleef continued to work in films until his death on December 16, 1989, at age 64. He was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, Hollywood Hills, California, with an inscription on his grave marker referring to his many acting performances as a villain: "BEST OF THE BAD".

Far off, in the depths of the Andromeda Galaxy, the expansionist Kree Empire has reluctantly made peace with the Nova Empire. But one of the most vicious and powerful Kree warlords, Ronan the Accuser, still has vengeance on his mind. He goes behind his government's back and strikes a pact with one of the most dreaded beings in the galaxy, Thanos the Mad Titan. In exchange for a certain ancient relic, the Mad Titan will grant Ronan's one wish: genocide on Xandar, the capital of the Nova Empire. However, the relic has already been looted from its hiding place by Peter Quill, a.k.a. "Star-Lord", an outlaw and thief abducted from Earth as a child. This Earthling knows nothing of the relic's nature — he's been raised by a band of Ravagers led by Yondu Udonta and simply wants to sell the artifact off. He goes behind the Ravagers' back and takes the relic to Xandar, where he's set upon by the bounty hunters Rocket Raccoon and Groot and Thanos's pet assassin Gamora, who is sister to Ronan's soldier Nebula. After this crew of misfits ends up flung into a maximum security prison with Drax the Destroyer, their mutual self-interest pits them against the Nova Corps, the Ravagers, and Ronan's relentless pursuit... and unexpectedly turns them into saviors.
