Move over, Chris Pratt: there's a new superhero in town, and he's coming after your Marvel character!

The newest actor to take on a major Marvel role is none other than Boy Meets World fan favorite alum Will Friedle!

E! News has learned that Friedle has just joined the voice cast for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, the new animated series premiering on Disney XD in 2015.

So who is Friedle playing on the animated series? Get ready for some friendly rivalry between Friedle and Pratt, because the Boy Meets World alum is taking on the role Pratt previously starred as in the major blockbuster movie version of the comics—Star-Lord!

As much as we loved Pratt as Star Lord, this casting could not be more perfect. Can't you just picture Star-Lord doing the Feeny call?! Wait, now we absolutely have to see that. Make it happen, Marvel!

This isn't Friedle's first foray into animation. He previously voiced Bumblebee on Transformers: Robots in Disguise, DC and Warner Bros. Green Arrow shorts and many, many more, but his best known voice work is on Kim Possible as Kim's sidekick/BFF Ron Stoppable.

Friedle isn't the only actor joining the animated Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy series. The Cleveland Show and Family Guy's Kevin Michael Richardson will voice Groot, while Eternals and Johnny Test's Trevor Devall is your new Rocket Raccoon.

Be sure to check back here throughout the week as Marvel unveils the rest of the voice cast!

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy will debut later this year on Disney XD.
